Members Thunderbroom Posted April 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 We could use a second car right now, too, but we have other priorities at the moment. My daughter will be driving solo soon. I'm willing to let her drive my van when the time comes. She'll have to pay the insurance and gas. If this happens, I will need a ride. I'll most definitely buy used when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 My drummer in my original project has one. Fits a crap load of stuff. Rides nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bnyswonger Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 If and when my windstar dies - that'll be a strong contender. I don't think one would fit in my gagrage unless the roof rack was taken off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philthygeezer Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 I want one too. Me and my Bongo and and my Element. All you other {censored}ers can get by with bland gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bryan316 Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 Have you guys checked out a Ford Flex? My brother wanted one so his dog fits in the back comfy cozy. Then we realised... we could fit his whole rig and my whole rig inside this thing! With the seats folded down, you could easily slide a whole refrigerator in there!

These are a bit higher priced than an Element...especially since I want to buy used. The base price on the lowest end model Flex is $28k. That's about about $13k more than I'm willing to drop.

Members JeffBass Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 They're cool, don't listen to the haters man! For those who want to haul a bunch of gear, say if you're hauling a PA and your amp, Ford's new Transit is a great little vehicle with TONS of room while still fitting in your garage (and getting good mileage). It's very customizable too, you can get cages and racks installed, all kinds of stuff. Saw it at the Auto Show. Their gonna sell a ton of them. http://www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base price on the lowest end model Flex is $28k. That's about about $13k more than I'm willing to drop. Yeah, I looked at the Flex too. It's stupid expensive when compared to a fully loaded Element. This winter, I gave serious consideration to trading up my 09 GTI for an 09 Element.

Members collinwho Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have a friend with an Element. I used to think they were ugly, then I sat inside one. In a similar way that a girl with a great personality can win you over and you stop noticing her looks, I now love that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a similar way that a girl with a great personality can win you over and you stop noticing her looks, I now love that car. I never thought they were "ugly", but just not very attractive. I got to ride in a few and ended up buying one last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted April 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2009 I will own an Element one day. As much as I love my Avalanche and its utility, I like the spartan aspects and utility of the Element, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kaiser_sosea Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 I hadn't really looked into these before, was looking to trade my '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for an '07 Jeep Patriot but given GM's place in the world right now, and the fact that these Elements look kick ass I may be changing my mind.

If you can walk into your garage without stooping, an element isn't too tall (unless you have a luggage rack or some such). The 2009 has a outside dimension of 5'10" according to the Honda website.

I didn't actually measure it (or my garage) but it sure didn't seem too tall for my garage when I stood next to it at the Auto Show. That would be a problem. Bummer. 79.3 inches from ground to rooftop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
