Honda 2009 Element Dallas Texas
Reader’s Question:
What are the good points on the Honda Element? I honestly think that it’s quite a uniquely shaped vehicle. Would this vehicle be a great add to the roads of Texas?

Hey there, Peter! Of course, another odd-shaped car would not be a bad add on the streets of Texas. But let’s not bring a good thing down by harping on shape alone. The 2009 Honda Element has what it takes to back up its claim to being fun-inspired SUV. After reading up on how consumers reacted towards the Element, I’m even more convinced that Honda stumbled onto something with this unique design. Traditionally, I always saw an SUV as just a giant car that uses a truck chassis. But with how Honda approached the Element’s design, I think it hits something for the adventurous, fun-seeking market.
First thing that grabs you with the Honda Element is its size, it is not longer than most SUVs, it’s taller. Then further checking out the exterior, you see a unique clamshell rear door. Moving up to the side, even how the side doors open up is different from most cars. Taking these exterior aspects into consideration, one is led to believe that this car is built to carry personal gear like bikes, musical equipment, heck, even small furniture. Looking under the hood, does it have the heart of an SUV? If you’re into the usual “where’s the V6?” type of person, then you might be disappointed. You will find a 2.4 Liter i-VTEC engine under the hood that can give you a fair amount of horses, about 166 of them. For me, as a personal SUV/ hauler, I think that should be enough for you to play around with. Match that with the Real-Time 4WD which is common Honda technology and you get a fun SUV. I think it’s worth your time to drive this vehicle around Dallas.
