Used 2009 Honda Element EX

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (5)
  5 out of 5 stars
  The K-series 2.4L engine is legendary for its longevity, and the mechanical simplicity ensures the vehicle can easily surpass 200,000 miles with basic care.
• Maintenance (5)
  5 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance is affordable and straightforward due to the abundance of parts and an engine bay layout that is very accessible for routine service.
• Technology (2)
  2 out of 5 stars
  Standard features are sparse and utilitarian; even with the EX trim's upgraded audio, the interface and available navigation feel significantly dated compared to rivals.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Exceptional headroom and interior versatility with a wipe-down floor, though road noise is high and the rear stadium seating can be firm for long trips.
• Dynamics (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  While the Civic-based chassis provides predictable handling, the boxy shape is prone to wind buffeting and the 166-hp engine feels sluggish under heavy loads.
