2011 Honda Element EX Walkaround, Exhaust, Review, Test Drive

[@dave_thomas]

The Honda Element was actually ahead of its time. A updated version would be a epic smash hit.

[@RoguePlanetStudio]

A Honda version of the renegade would be really cool

[@Scandalousfaith]

Seriously??? This dude sounded like he didn't want to do this review.

[@311Hanel]

He keeps saying "older generation" does he even go out there and see who's driving and buying these?

[@notmebutyou8350]

[@wishiniwasfishin5623]

Me and my dad have been looking on Facebook marketplace for a car for me and he told me about this and I’m in love with it. It fits my wants and needs perfectly.

[@JDMEXforme]

To future buyers: You cannot hose down the interior floor. There are no drain holes/plugs. The water will seep to the sides and in between the legs of the sliding seats area. Rust will build up overtime and eventually rot the floors. Huge misinformation.

[@georgeprotopapadakis4752]

This car is the prime example of a working formula. We have a 2003 model, production date from late 2002 and have over 230,000 miles on it with nothing but regular maintenance. It is probably the best car my family has owned, besides our other Honda's. Again, "dated" should be used loosely, especially given that 2003-2007 were prime years for Honda's quality.

[@973EVIL]

The back seats are removable and the "lockable storage compartment" as you call it, between the seats is actually a removable cooler. Do your research before you do a car review and understand that this vehicle is not for luxury...

[@Zapharus]

I know this comment is old af but seriously though, this guy is annoying. He doesn't know the vehicle he's reviewing at all and it's obvious he didn't research it either. He seems to hate the car and for him to say the Kia Soul looks better than the Element is absolute insanity.

[@highpricedkid28]

@@Zapharus Thank you to you both So much!! Had one around 2009 ( My ex was a 2nd generation car dealerahip owner and this was i got to drive to work for abit ) Not in it for the look but at the time 4 wheel that worked. Now Found a 2011 83,000 miles Haven't had a car/driven in 5 years.I remembered how this was to sit in though. Like a truck for this 5'0 girl! I could see over the steering wheel not sit on a pillow..but without the huge backend baggage of most SUVs ppl THINK are going to fit me until they see me pointing my toe to touch the brake pedal 🤨 I Specifically was searching to see if there was a COOLER IN THE CONSOLE AND WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE completely skipped over everything that makes the Element unique😠 If I hadn't of read your comments I'd be searching still or assumed this particular one didn't have it 💞✌

[@BBBYpsi]

Not only what you said but does not that lift to get into that compartment also doubles as a possible table? You just need legs to fit in it.

[@crieverytim]

I've had mine for 4 years and didn't know that so I think it's forgivable that this guy overlooked I overlooked that detail. Also also I vaguely remember hearing something about that bring something about a table that the most recent comments are mentioned but it haven't explored the possibility either. Not everyone is a fan of this car. If they were they likely wouldn't have discontinued them. 🤷‍♂️

[@JrBlaneknship]

Have owned a 2003 Element and bought the 2011 before they quit making it and I am younger generation....Thank you for your review but for an Element owner, it sucks. Nothing personal but these cars were and are very unique and very useful and quality is unsurpassed in it's class, and might I say it is in a class all it's own which is why it was not so well received. It is so useful, we plan on keeping it as long as we can fix it.

[@VictorySpeedway]

Dated... Old School.... Plastic You don't get it. My '06, which I bought new, has 305,000 miles and is still running strong. I hope to keep it 'til I die.

[@JimmyVaught]

Update? Any issues you've encountered during such a long time of ownership

[@maxolguin4505]

@@JimmyVaught I am the only owner of a 2004 Element EX. Still going strong…cat converter was stolen, but I replaced with an aftermarket, and no problem.

[@timking2822]

Exactly.

[@VictorySpeedway]

@@JimmyVaught A 2010 Honda Accord practically fell into my lap. It has low mileage, driven by the proverbial "Little Old Lady to Church on Sundays." Like the Element, it's bulletproof. I couldn't justify having two vehicles, so I *******sniff******* sold the Element to someone who promised to take good care of it. As far as I know, it's still out there. I briefly entertained the notion of selling the Accord and pouring the money into the Element (rebuild the engine with a little massaging, rebuild the suspension, reupholster the front seats, etc., etc.), but thought better of it. Sometimes, I regret my decision. Issues with the Element: A spring on the pressure plate broke, rendering the clutch useless. I managed to get from Boston to within 10 miles of home (northwest NJ) before a red light knocked me out of the game. That was probably the most major repair I had. I replaced an alternator, a rear axle (broke at very low mileage), a windshield. That's all I can think of.

[@henryshoots]

I am close to be 40 and I love this car. So yes we elderly people love it. It's like a truck... with a cover. I hauled tons of logs in it, I hauled furniture in it, I hauled batt insulation in it. No other Honda can do something like that with a floor that can be cleaned with a leaf blower. It's a great car for those of us who live in the country side.

[@JaxBeach2NewportBch]

Henryshoots yeah. Me too. I'm an elderly surfer so he really sold me on that part. Awful reviewer

[@henryshoots]

JaxBeach2NewportBch haha, agreed!

[@sully5493]

Started laughing - as I also take the leaf blower to mine. Terrible, uninformed reviewer - very condescending.

[@GetPooped]

Every car should have those floors

[@halverdog4146]

I agree!

[@OneManOnFire]

Those floors are cheap and prone to bubbling in hot weather.

[@p-mac5969]

Whats funny is “jeeps” dont have this interior. They put carpet in an offroad vehicle that has a removable top and removable doors. I’ll never understand that.

[@spinningbacksidekick]

Just some things to add, as the reviewer didn't seem to know much about the car: 1. the console storage area between the front two seats can detach and be removed. It's also a cooler and yes, you can keep ice in it. 2. The area on the floor where he says the cup holder can pull out in the CRV is actually a subwoofer. 3. The rear seats can be reclined horizontally, can be mounted on the sides and out of the way, and can be fully removed. 4, The cover for the spare tire compartment can come off and be used as a table (legs sold separately.) 5. You can NOT hose out the interior. I mean you can, just like you can hose out any car's interior, you'll just get mold, damage the interior, etc. It is however, easy to wipe down the floor with a wet rag. 6. It's a 4-cylinder, heavy SUV. It has plenty of pep for what it is. 7. Resale value is quite good.

Amazing vehicle, done so much with this from storming down the autobahn, driving in heavy snow and putting it through the tight back streets of Prague. Have two kids, moved furniture and so many great days out with it. Never let me down, this is the best thought out design I have ever seen and its safety rating is still good as it was over engineered. Love the Honda Element and if they ever have any sense Honda will see this small but firm market and make a new one!

[@vincevega1000]

This review sucks. Dude...why don''t you just say you hate this car?

[@bretthowarth857]

Owns a 2005 LX Element. I would recommend if anyone wants an Element to buy 2007 and up as safety was improved and seat belts are on the seats instead of the door pillar (ex take seat belt off and open door for back seat people to get in). I wish my model has traction control and AWD as I have driven one of those and makes a HUGE difference. I love how I can take back seats out of simply flip one up or even both. Great car for basic camping needs.

[@Montrealphotochick]

I have a 11 Element. It will be my favorite car of my life, and I keep my cars at least ten years. It is roomy, perfect when you have a kid mess, even really gross onces can be cleaned fast without having to take the car for biohazard detailing (yes, that is a real thing). I am in my 40s and have 2 kids so I am not trying to win a race, but I find it feels solid and fast enough for me, I have hauled an INCREDIBLE amount of stuff including 50 inch tvs and sofas. It has traveled safely in Montreal winters, and has been perfect. I guard it and wish I had an extra. No car will ever feel this big, clean, useful. No carpet stink from snow feet. I do not want my driving experience to feel like sittin in the living room, or I will fall asleep. Speaking of which, one could camp out - if only just in the back yard, so many great things about this car. I had started to get fear of driving after having my old car die in many terrible locations, but I feel so high up and safe I have driven everywhere including nearly NYC> Can you tell I love my Element :)

[@JrBlaneknship]

We love our 2011 too! plan on fixing it as long as we can, good luck to you and your Element!

Gotta ask: did you keep the Element? You described my ideal car, and I don't even have kids!

[@Montrealphotochick]

@@mightbesherwood1313 yep still have it and love it. It’s been perfect for me in every way. I travel with two adult size bikes often. I literally guard it with my life.

[@keyboardtek]

You wrote this comment on a Honda Element review ten years ago so I don't know if you will get this question. But can you tell me if this 2011 has a telescopic and tilt steering column? I am tall and the early Element I sat in had an awkward steering wheel angle. I wondered if that was corrected by a telescoping steering wheel. And I would probably need a tilting wheel too.

[@Montrealphotochick]

@@keyboardtek hi not immediate but here’s the reply. The steering wheel tilts up and down but does not telescope in and out. I hope that helps.

[@00_UU]

Honda Element was absolutely amazing. I owned 2003 Element and loved it. One of my biggest regrets was not buying one before they discontinued them in 2011. Fantastic utility, huge space inside, stock premium audio with subwoofer on EX trim, excellent visibility and fun to drive. It was also cheap and it had an optional manual transmission. I would've paid double if they were making them today.

[@robertknight4672]

I recently had to replace my 06 element what's different car. Visability is more important to me than overall style so I went with the Subaru Forester. Forester is nice in it's own way but the nothing will compare with the uniqueness of a Honda Element.

[@harrisonthorburn9096]

It's what Pontiac wanted the Aztek to be

[@johnretiredoagr9551]

This review is like listening to a book report from a kid who didn’t read the book and just stands there saying “typical honda”, “old school”, and then says random incorrect observations about cooler as lockable storage or the removable seats are not, etc

[@azimuth361]

[@joshaden6533]

azimuth361 This video was made in 2012 so he was reviewing a 1 year old car. He definitely comes across as very entitled and snobbish. I just got a 2010 Honda Civic LX and am beyond excited and grateful. It's 5 years old but is a huge step from my 1998 Civic. :)

[@azimuth361]

Josh Aden Yeah, snobbish is quite right. I think the Element is awesome. I'd love to get one and put the eCamper top on it and make it my road trip vehicle. It's also great if you're a musician. My bass player has one and we used it to haul his gear AND mine. Note the avatar. I'm a drummer. The Element carried all our gear quite handily.

[@isackhernandez3691]

[@jonathangodbout6645]

I like how this wormy young metrosexual dude calls my beloved Honda Element dated. I'm in my mid 40's and I love my 2009 Element. Super easy to park, It is cheap to insure, It thinks it's a one ton van with all the stuff I carry in it. The dogs love it too! I will NEVER sell mine! Honda needs to reintroduce the ELEMENT!

[@SmallyBigz]

Seriously, the dude drives a VW SUV and he's talking crap. LOL The element is meant for a certain market and it fits that market perfectly. More so than maybe any car in history. I love how he tries to make it like only old people drive it. I see way more younger people driving it then old people.

[@pssst3]

SmallyBigz the main reason you see younger people driving it now is that at its original price the Element was too expensive for its target demographic, but as a used car it's a great value.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

I'm looking at a 2008 4WD EX manual(!) in green with 135k on it. Asking price $8k but it's one owner and carfax shows tons of records at Honda. I'm 33 and would love it for road trips and camping.

[@x6King6x]

You want every car to be really luxury, stop with the negativity, this car is so much reliable and useful than a lot of this new luxurious vehicles out now

[@giosasso]

Critique a car based on what it is, not what it isn't. Not every car needs to be a high performance vehicle. Everyone has different needs and in terms of practicality, and the Element is hard to beat in that department. It's not intended to be a luxury car. So tired of reviewers who think their personal preferences are representative of the needs of others. Quantify what you have to say. Is it well engineered? Is it reliable? Is it comfortable? Use of space? Practical? Will it still run in 10 years? Resale value? Good for dogs? Easy to get in and out? Be thoughtful and consider the target market, which isn't you. Ultimately, I want to know how well-made a vehicle is, will it last over the years, can I rely on it, does it have any engineering flaws (IE. Honda CR-V oil dilution). I'll decide on whether or not I like the overall style of the vehicle. You're entitled to your opinions but if it's a well-made vehicle then don't dismiss it because it's not a high-performance sports car. That's your preference.

[@fredmelton646]

It's a great car for a niche segment. If you have dogs or kids, it's easy clean up, I use my leaf blower then just wipe it out with soap and water. I'm always surprised by the amount of stuff I can cram into it. He was wrong about the rear seats, they are removable. I take one or both out if I don't need them, reduces the weight and makes space for more stuff. CONS - no thrills drive, mileage could be better, just ugly to some, and the reverse door is sometimes tricky for the rear passengers. PROS - great utility, easy internal care, honda reliability, spacious and just neat looking.

[@beastalmond336678]

My first car when I was turned 17 was the 1999 Buick park avenue ultra, 4 years later I sold my Buick and got a 2003 Honda element. I was skeptical at first when I got in but my first week owning it was amazing. When he complained about the dated interior I chuckled a bit because this car was a classic example of "if ain't broke don't fix it" This car is very popular with all ages and I rarely see older people in it, I'm 21 and most people I see in the element are around my age.

[@Biggjuggs333]

I have an 08 manual element and her name is Gretchen. 140k miles on it and the only thing I've had to do is replace the front + back washer pump and Adjust the valves. I love her she is a beast hence the name. HONDA 4 LIFE !!!

[@hillstones]

The EX models had the upgraded stereo with 6 speakers, the factory amp, and subwoofer in the center console. It was decent, and far better than the basic 4 speaker stereo.

[@tenknq]

[@ThaChazo]

He makes it sound like it's such a Negative thing but typical Honda is actually great!

[@LuvMyTJ]

Best SUV ever! Love it! Honda made a mistake dropping this gem. The Kia Soul is a cheap disposable car and worlds apart from an Element. By the way, the center console on your EX is actually a removable cooler and it is not lockable as you stated. The stereo is the mid level 7 speaker version (subwoofer), no XM on the base LX stereo. Please do more research before you review things.

[@jonathantyree8172]

I didn't know you've been doing reviews this long! Kudos. If Honda made an updated element I'd snag one brand new. Being 6'5" i cherish space like this

I absolutely love mine and would buy another one. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I ordered mine in 2003 and have over 150,000 miles on it. I like the blacked out sides. no shopping cart damage at Wal-Mart. The only complaint I have ever had would be to have the back doors open like a van and slide back. It is a little hard to maneuver out of the back seats in a parking lot.

[@angrygreek1985]

I like your reviews but in a vehicle like the Element, I would have liked it if you put a little information about the seat design in the back and how they can fold and what you can fit in there and stuff and actually demonstrated it and showed it a bit. It's one of the main selling features of a vehicle like the Element so I was little surprised that you didn't really cover that at all other than mentioning that the seats fold up.

[@LloydJiraiyaSS]

Well the seats are removable actually the easiest I ever had the center Console is a removable ice chest, the ex has a subwoofer right under the radio, it has 35% less throttle restrictions Over the crv,accord, civic meaning it has power at the 1800 band (almost instantly) the awd is the same as the Ridgeline one of the most effective and reliable 4wd system. The sc is only 2wd lower ride height, 18" rims and comes with a full console and carpet with design seats. My girlfriend wanted to drive mine over my extra car lifted avalanche or her sisters mustang v6 (but still sports car) so the younger generation definitely liked it as well. The main reason it didn't make the sales is one reason not enough people drove one and they didn't have enough at car lots. I went to Florida in mine best traveling vehicle ever room and visibility says it all plus the mpg and rubber mats help you jump in after the beach with sand and not have to worry (also water resistant seats)

[@Maxx134a]

I have the SC and didn't know all those details. I was confused about this review Because my SC feels like it's riding on rails .. Quite a rediculously sporty ride stock... and I had quick response from beginning as it was already upgraded with cold air intake & gibson exhaust. I could screech the wheels at every traffic light. I treat it like a baby now that I realize the value , And been researching for over a year different compact suv but none give me the interior space and spaciousness that the Element does... I was considering a Nissan Xterra but I just can't let this car go it really is such fun and sporty and utilitarian car just unsurpassed which makes the crv & rav4 look like really feminine girly cars....

[@gabechavez9627]

I really disliked your review.....REDO AND QUIT saying old school,dated, AND ABOVE ALL stop talking about other cars...the interior materials are for utility quite a bit of other cars have plastics I’m sure your car has plastic. And it’s not old, it’s a vehicle that was ahead of its time.

[@ChrisCardenDrums]

I'll tell you (as an element owner) what it does better than any other car I've been in. it's a long road tripper, phoenix to denver, no problem in an element

[@EvolBobby]

[@Jakeman21642]

I never even knew they made these up until 2011! I think they should have kept it because it looks way better than the new lumpy CR-V and it is super practical.

[@Timpala44]

I own a 2006 Honda Element. I love it, but their are some things I would change. I don't like the clam shell doors. They aren't very useful in a parking lot when you have people in the back seats. The wind shield wiper settings need to have more settings. That goes for most of the Hondas in the same era. I did notice a couple of errors in your review. #1 The back seats are removable. #2 I would never wash my Element out with a hose. I don't know how that got started, but it isn't true. #3 I actually like hard plastics on the dash and a lot of other places. It is way easier to keep clean. My Honda Element has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. It hauls lots of stuff. It is a tank in the snow. And, it has been very reliable.

[@SHADOWBOXERBAYBEE]

He mentions the KIA Soul as an alternative. I have one and want to sell it not because it's a bad car, but because I miss my Element EXP even though it sucked on mpg of 15 in the city. The KIA sort of helped me out on the so called boxie style and it has all the bells and whistles, but dammit I still miss my Element. It was a knee jerk action to have given it up for a 2007 New Beetle, which I still have and love it, I should have just held onto my Element instead.

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

It's a design flaw in either the A/C compressor or maybe a cooling flaw? Its common in little cars, whenever the humidity is high and its over 90 degrees out, the A/C will blow warm when you come to a stop, it cools up when you are moving, but its frustrating in traffic in the heat, its like I'm driving a an older hybrid when the A/C shuts off with the engine

[@regalt1987]

The Rear seats do come out.

[@CHEF.ELEMENT]

The Honda Element can’t be washed out with a water. All of your electronics are under the floorboards and you will mess everything up and the plastic will start crumbling if you soak it with water, the car doesn’t come with drains for the water like some jeeps do. Use a wash cloth to wash the floor if you plan on cleaning it

My sister thinks that the Element is a Lego style if only Legos would make a Honda Element as a toy.

I want to buy this exact car in 9 years and I will make it a 5 seater deep storage new wheels and a ton more!

[@manuelnegrete2168]

Hey man! You treat your own cars that way?

[@yelp1000]

Good point 2theredline ... Honda should reimagine the element in a more mainstream way and bring it back. The compact ute segment is ramping up like a freight train now and there seems to be plenty of room for another honda. Look at how many cuvs that hyundai and kia have between them. I don't see them canceling any of those platforms.

No, the Fit competes with the Rio. The Soul competes with the Nissan Cube, Scion XB, and the Suzuki SX4 Hatchback because it's kind of wierd cause of the boxyness. Hope this helps you out! :)

[@DancinRandy54]

yeah thats so true my dads tsx used to do the same thing! like today its gonna be over 90 degrees and when the car is at a stop it feels like its just blowing air, not cold air

[@Pedal2TheMetal]

I agree. I dont like cars with more than 6 speeds. I think 7 or 8 speeds is just an overkill and I dont like the idea of a car shifting like 4 times just to get to 40mph. Also, im just used to the sound of a car shifting through 5 gears.

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

You are probably right, for some reason I thought they limited that to the S/C

[@00lexuses300]

I love these cars but why are they gone?

[@B0mbshellBri]

Love the car, hate the review... you should TAKE YOUR TIME.

[@Fitforacting]

@4:39 they actually are removable. Also much respect to your channel. I love seeing how much you’ve grown and you keep getting better 💪🏽

[@honkytonk2010]

Awesome review thanks for sharing

[@techdude6693]

Out of the boxy cars, honestly the soul seems like the best option. The xB is outdated with that 4-speed auto and 2.4 engine. The cube is only good if you don't go on the highway. Soul is most livable since it has good power, good fuel economy, and the 6-speed is better than a 4-speed or CVT IMO

[@Dillon1791]

Yes! I have seen this. Maybe the Honda Civic lovers feel like if they support it with sales -Giving Honda more Money to make the next better- then the '13 will be back on top.

I use to have a 2005 Element, and loved it. I was hoping they would of came out with a updated version, which was rumored, but went with the HRV which seemed dated right from the start.

[@kitrocks8058]

There is a reason this guys channel won't take off its because he is over opinionated and cries about everything it's not soft tough god the world is coming to and end

[@vlads2874]

Check again..

[@tomcat6933]

His channel took off and is one of the best out there.

[@untamedlion33]

Dude its nt an iphone its a car,

[@Raul93si]

top heavy, exhaust shot, cheap material, Dude its a 2009 Honda Element! and the back seats are removable.

[@wearefreesd3305]

You would be surprised of its off road capabilities, sand, dirt, mud, I've done it all in my Element, you forgot to mention by the way. Also forgot about the subwoofer and tweeters which does not make it a "pedestrian" sound system. Also mine has the moonroof in the back, didn't see if this one did or not.

[@johnreyes4546]

I want this vehicle to be my first car 🚘 to drive when I turn 17 or 18 years old

[@xoquixxoqafxo]

well this car did come out in 2003 and that was when 5AT were above the norm
