I had a Civic LX for 11 years before getting the element. It wasn't as
sporty as other Civic models, but it was fun, quick and cheap on gas. I
had a lot of fun with it, but ultimately it wasn't meeting my needs.
Plus it was 11 years old.
I loved the Element from the day I first set eyes on it. It was so
different. It met my new needs of, hauling great volumes of Lego
around, along with other things. I never would have gotten three
people, including myself, and all their stuff and groceries up the 400
to a cottage for a week in my civic.
It's a very practical vehicle, but it still has some kick to it. A lot
of people are surprised how much it feels like driving a car. However
you are not sitting 2 inchs off the ground and the large A pillar makes
left hand curves a little scary. If you are driving normally, as you
should, it's no problem. If you are pushing the limits a little, not
being able to see the apex or an on coming car is a little dangerous.
So in conclusion, the Element definitely meets my needs. I don't regret
getting it at all. I'd buy another one today if I had to. However I
would say it doesn't satisfy all my desires. I do miss being low, fast
and hugging the curves sometimes.

I miss the feeling of zipping around traffic and hugging the ground, as well as filling the tank for less than $15 (USD). (...) (19 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
