The Element is a wonderful car

This is amazing. Took me a minute to notice the license plate, too.

Nice decals, incorrect title. The Element was a rare L for Honda. Many electronic gremlins, my workmate had one of the problem children and it was a nightmare for him.
It's like you got one from column A or one from column B. And if you had column B you were not having a good time.
- Silverados are the same way. You gotta get one that was assembled on a Wednesday. Preferably in the Canada plant.
- That's weird. There's a pretty big community around the Element that swears they're amazing, long living vehicles.
  
  Yeah, lots of vehicles have pattern failures in a certain subset. Column A works fine
- They’re also not terribly comfortable and have a weird upright seating position.
  
  Speaking of awkward seating positions, ever drive a Genesis Coupe? It's the exact opposite; feels like you're laying down when you're driving.
  
  And they're stupid looking.
- There was an Element fan in the comments hence the edited title. Maybe a mistake
  
  oh, I see. I mean, it was a vehicle among vehicles. Some went 250k miles with just normal maintenance, some drove their owners absolutely nuts with gremlins.
  
  I got one from column A and I thought it was the best. It survived for roughly 20 years with sometimes some very poor maintenance and generally did a wonderful job with anything I asked it to do.
  It's a popular car even now, you can find ones for sale for $10k+ even though it was discontinued well over a decade ago. People like 'em. I get it if someone who got a broken one would not feel that way though.
- Honda Element was notable for not having a B-Column.
- what if the electronic gremlins are mostly nice and you just met some mean ones?
- Well, they sure got it all worked out, because The Fifth Element was excellent!

Years ago my cousins bought my aunt a new car and decided to change a couple of letters around in the model name ... to GRAND MA.

Their favourite food is alphabet soup.

Op car indeed

i don't know how to explain this better, but this is exactly how i think

Least fake-looking boomer meme:

Now I have this song in my head: https://youtu.be/NR2KsFa9ZJQ

An Element is not an SUV, it's an absolutely wonderful car.
- It's an SUV
  
  An SUV? This thing is the size of a van. No wonder they didn't get to Europe, it seems to be one of these oversized American cars.
  
  No, it's a toaster! (I was gonna link the brave little toaster but figured that was taking it a little too far past sarcasm lmao)
  
  We call them Chelsea tractors here.
  
  Nope, it's a CUV, or "Crossover SUV", it has SUV in the name, but it is quite different. Has more in common with a hatchback than an SUV.
  
  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+a+car says average 14.7 feet, 13.9 for compact cars or up to 15.7 for a full size car.
  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+a+honda+element says 169 inches, which is 14.1 feet
  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+long+is+an+suv says typically 15 to 17 feet
  I rest my case, I don't care what the manufacturer says. The Element is a little container of wonders, it is no car and no SUV.
  (I think "SUV" used to have a different meaning which probably applied pretty well to what the Element is, but in the modern day in common parlance it means a massive mini-truck with an enclosed back section which certainly does not apply here, that was more my point.)
- I guess it's a station wagon then.
- Edited the title in its honour

I bet there's some people that won't get this.
- Facebook ass comment
  
  It is indeed an ass-comment
- Ya, specifically people who don’t use the Latin alphabet.
