In Vermont, we have finally seen some real snow! Last week's Earthy Car of the Week was the Honda CR-V, a vehicle that drives great in the snow and ideal for an averaged sized household family. The Honda Element is another vehicle that is perfect for snow driving and ideal for families. However, the Element has even more cargo room than the CR-V.
It is the ideal vehicle for families who frequently hit the slopes for skiing, or desire to take a winter road trip or travel long distances across the country to visit family over the holiday's.
This Honda Element is 4WD (of course). It has mounted armrest for passenger and driver seats, and has a MP3 capable stereo with seven speakers. Your family would be comfortable and well entertained in this vehicle.
OVERVIEW: MSN Autos:
"The Element is Honda’s interpretation of a crossover SUV which Honda describes as a multi-functional and versatile light-duty truck. The Element has a hard, flat floor like a pickup but is enclosed like an SUV, with side cargo doors and innovative seating to accommodate both passengers and cargo."AOL Autos:
“The Honda Element is the versatile box of motor vehicles, combining unique and practical features with a kind of military/utilitarian chic. Honda says the Element was designed specifically for young adventurers who need to haul wet or messy gear, like you can in a pickup, but with the security of an enclosed cargo area, like an SUV's, plus car-like performance and economy. Element provides all that. And it appeals to a much larger audience than just young men.
Element's durable, scratch-resistant interior is a big part of its charm. Its seats are designed to get wet. Inside and out, it looks like a little truck. But it's built with components from the Honda Civic, so it drives more like a car than a truck-based SUV.
The Element was all-new for 2003.Honda has made few changes since then. The 2005 models come with more standard equipment, including side-impact airbags for the top-of-the-line EX models.”

Honda 2005 is still a good model even if it is outdated.
