A Great Little Car
I first thought this was funny looking, but after 13 years and close to 100k miles, and many loads of furniture and building materials, this is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I got it brand new, and have had minimal service issues. It is a 5 speed-I replaced the clutch at 60K miles; however,the majority of my driving was within a 5 mile radius of my inner- city home, but this little car does great on the highway too. Drove it to California twice, through the desert then the mountains. The only issue it does have is the wind. It is considered "high profile" and does get a little shaky at high speeds when it's windy, but I'm talking at 70-75 mph. Never has been a real problem. I got broad-sided by a camry going 35 from out of nowhere. The Element just bounced across two lanes and I was not hurt. It dented the door but not the frame. I have used it for my remodel business-because of the shape, it will fit doors, long shelving, 2x4s, I have moved all kinds of furniture: dressers, full size mattresses, tables, pretty much everything I ever tried. The back seats fold up, the front passenger lays completely down flat. I pulled a U haul trailer across states with no problems. I love this little car and I am sad it isn't being made anymore. I will keep it and drive it as long as possible!
