Honda Element
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- If you are looking into similar options, you may like the Ford Flex, Honda Element, Toyota RAV4, or Subaru Forester. All are likely to be more reliable and still contain either a boxy or offroady element to them
- I currently have a Honda Element, so I'm leaning towards another Honda...
- There are the outlier cars, Honda Elements, Pontiac Vibes, older Scion xBs. If you can find one with less than 150k miles, it could last you a few years, with good maintenance.
- Anecdotal, but I had 280k in my element that I gave to a friend when I moved out of state. He drove it up to 350k, the cat got stolen and was too much to replace.
- Yes but they are now 2 decades old. You need to find a rust free well taken care of model. The usable lifespan is around 400,000km (250k miles).
Cons
- Nothing specifically I would worry about the Honda Element besides the fact that those things are rust buckets. So if you live in an area prone to rust it is definitely something you want to spend time on crawling under the car and check...

I worked at a power plant and had to work no matter what happened... I had a Honda Element.. It worked fine
I have 198K miles on my Honda Element.. Its fine.. I trust it..
You would be better off driving a 20 year old Honda CRV or Honda Element. They last a long time.. They will turn to a pile of rust before the engine or transmission goes out.
honda element will last a lifetime
