Best Dog Car: 2006 Honda Element EX-P

[@ee0823]

I bought my 2005 Honda Element with 168,000 miles almost 4 years ago. Still driving very strong and smooth and I now have little over 236,000 miles. Best car i ever owned.

That's amazing!!! I hope this one remains trouble free for me. It's my 2nd Element. The first one was from the northeast so it was pretty well rusted when I got it. This one is mostly rust free. I just did all the maintenance other than valve adjustment. I'll be doing that soon. I want to keep it going!

Good description of an old "favorite". Wishing you many happy driving miles.

We just picked up our new (lol to us) 2006 AWD Tangerine TODAY, rust free, maintenance records, 152K miles! Soo excited! After our 2005 was totaled(everyone OK) 2 months ago . Agree the BEST dog vehicle!! Great video!

Adding more after watching more- Our previous Element was a Galapagos green too!!! Solo camping with my dog!

@robinrudnicki8449 I think those are the 2 best colors they offered! Sorry to hear about your 05 but glad you landed an 06. It should last another 150k easy!

I only have a manual but front wheel drive and winter tires, with bags of soil in the back for our winters. Yes I would love AWD. So I’m happy you have found the perfect trifecta and it’s mint!!! I’m already on my second clutch in 10 years and she is still going strong. I stopped by and liked just because I have a dog too and you’re right it’s great for dogs.

Thanks for watching the video and your kind comment. I also have a new truck but I find myself driving this Element way more!!! It's legit fun and I'm still convinced it's pound-for-pound the greatest vehicle of all time. Glad you're enjoying yours and considering your dog when choosing a vehicle too!

The engineers who designed the element where smart. My 06AWD is great just keep the regular maintenance and you're good for just about anything.

Hope they make something like this again, but seems really unlikely

Keep us updated!

Did all the maintenance so far except Valve adjustment. That happens this weekend. Been very happy with my Element!

Driver seat issues common in almost every EX I’ve seen

Was an easy fix
