I tried to buy a Toyota Rav 4 but I went to 3 dealers and they didn't have a single vehicle I could even test drive, and I needed a car fast so I saved 4 grand and picked the Element.

I hated the look of the 2 tone models, but the EX-P is all one color and looks 10x better. I pick it up on Friday.

7 speaker stereo with IPod hookup was a plus, and great cargo space.


That is all

Looks tons better than an xB and isn't totally gutless. The mono-tone ones look pretty good. Enjoy your car:)

I honestly don't see why everyone hates on it so much, while they are a rather odd looking vehicle they are quite versatile.

Maybe I'm just well trained to love ugly vehicles (being a Subaru whore) but I honestly like the Element.

thanks, I'll enjoy it, my '94 4-runner blew up the other day on the way to work, so I was kinda in a jam.

i actually like the element quite a bit. they look especially sharp without the plastic trim.

Like I said the EX-P looks much much better than the 2 tone models. And the price was right. And as opposed to the toyota EVERYTHING is standard
