<strong>I would love to hear specific feedback rather than generic comments. Please post your age and the car you currently drive. I am curious about the demographics related to the Element's fans and foes.

I'm 26 and drive the same car as you. I think the Element is a giant turd on wheels.
Sorry, I just think its so damn ugly. I saw it in person at the Philly Auto Show this year.
Otherwise, I would have considered it. It would be a very versatile vehicle to own, and for a while it'll get the "oooh, what is that?" head turn.
Anyway, I am not a fan of Hondas because I find them to be overpriced and too conservative. This one isn't an exception. If it's your style that's cool, but I don't like Hondas.
The element is ugly and in response to Fellowship's comment, I don't think it's worthy of UN inspectors.

not to impugn your character without meeting you,
but at age 18 shouldn't that be a "silver spoon" coloured Jaguar?
can we assume you're using 10.2.x, making you a Jaguar-squared user...

Jaguar cubed (x3)..he is wearing faux jaguar print panties too, :0) (j/k)
I fall into the over-30 crowd, and I find the Element compelling...
BUT!!!!!!
Now I'm interested in the forthcoming VW minivan to debut in '05. I'm hoping that '05 means that it'll really be realeased in '04, closer to the target time of my car hitting 185,000 miles.
There's an orange version that's got a little bed in the back...tres cool.

I just got rid of my A4.
While it's a very capable and great looking car, it lacks in reliability and fit and finish.
Creaks and noises coming from all over the car for a 3 year old near luxury car is unacceptable.
I'm going back to a Japanese car.
