I have a 2003 Element EX 4WD
I have a 2003 Element EX 4WD with 273k miles on the original engine and transmision.
I love my Element and plan to keep it as long as I can. The automobile you drive does make a social statement and I feel this little Honda fits me to a tee.
It may not be for everyone but you cannot deny a following for any auto that has been discontinued for as long as this one has. The value of the Honda Element is all over the place. There are good deals out there but compared to the CRV or any other sport utility from this era the demand is still quite high.
