The Element’s styling resembles a Rubbermaid box, with plastic fenders designed for a bit of punishment should you opt to take a four-wheel-drive equipped Element onto some light-duty trails. Powering you to your destination is a 160-horsepower, 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine connected to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Inside are quick-clean rubber floors and removable seats clothed in waterproof fabric. Front-wheel drive models start at $18,000, whereas four-wheel-drive models, which include a standard rear sunroof, start at $19,400. And since it’s introduction, the Honda Element has featured an auxiliary audio input on the dash, making it one of the first (if not the first) vehicles to allow you to plug-and-play your iPod.
