Nice decals, incorrect title. The Element was a rare L for Honda. Many electronic gremlins, my workmate had one of the problem children and it was a nightmare for him.
It's like you got one from column A or one from column B. And if you had column B you were not having a good time.
oh, I see. I mean, it was a vehicle among vehicles. Some went 250k miles with just normal maintenance, some drove their owners absolutely nuts with gremlins.
Mine made it I think to the 230s, the only thing that killed it was rust in the frame. And, I had multiple moves where the entire back section was packed up with 100% of the move in one trip. It was a good vehicle.
I got one from column A and I thought it was the best. It survived for roughly 20 years with sometimes some very poor maintenance and generally did a wonderful job with anything I asked it to do.
It's a popular car even now, you can find ones for sale for $10k+ even though it was discontinued well over a decade ago. People like 'em. I get it if someone who got a broken one would not feel that way though.
The Element is smaller than an average car, lengthwise, and has more storage capacity with the seats out than most vehicles twice its size. Which is one among some different reasons why it's the best.
I rest my case, I don't care what the manufacturer says. The Element is a little container of wonders, it is no car and no SUV.
(I think "SUV" used to have a different meaning which probably applied pretty well to what the Element is, but in the modern day in common parlance it means a massive mini-truck with an enclosed back section which certainly does not apply here, that was more my point.)
This is amazing. Took me a minute to notice the license plate, too.

Silverados are the same way. You gotta get one that was assembled on a Wednesday. Preferably in the Canada plant.
That's weird. There's a pretty big community around the Element that swears they're amazing, long living vehicles.
Yeah, lots of vehicles have pattern failures in a certain subset. Column A works fine
They’re also not terribly comfortable and have a weird upright seating position.
Speaking of awkward seating positions, ever drive a Genesis Coupe? It's the exact opposite; feels like you're laying down when you're driving.
No but my ex brother in law had a catfish Camaro and it felt the same way.
And they're stupid looking.
There was an Element fan in the comments hence the edited title. Maybe a mistake

Honda Element was notable for not having a B-Column.
what if the electronic gremlins are mostly nice and you just met some mean ones?
Well, they sure got it all worked out, because The Fifth Element was excellent!
Years ago my cousins bought my aunt a new car and decided to change a couple of letters around in the model name ... to GRAND MA.
Their favourite food is alphabet soup.
Op car indeed
i don't know how to explain this better, but this is exactly how i think

An Element is not an SUV, it's an absolutely wonderful car.
It's an SUV
No, it's a toaster! (I was gonna link the brave little toaster but figured that was taking it a little too far past sarcasm lmao)
I had a Kia Soul, now that’s a proper toaster.
An SUV? This thing is the size of a van. No wonder they didn't get to Europe, it seems to be one of these oversized American cars.
It's roughly the same size as a Volkswagen T-Roc (one of 2024's top-selling cars in Europe).

We call them Chelsea tractors here.
Nope, it's a CUV, or "Crossover SUV", it has SUV in the name, but it is quite different. Has more in common with a hatchback than an SUV.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+a+car says average 14.7 feet, 13.9 for compact cars or up to 15.7 for a full size car.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+a+honda+element says 169 inches, which is 14.1 feet
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+an+suv says typically 15 to 17 feet

It’s not a car?
Don't ask me for consistency, it's Sunday
I guess it's a station wagon then.
Edited the title in its honour
I bet there's some people that won't get this.

It is indeed an ass-comment
Ya, specifically people who don’t use the Latin alphabet.
