Honda Element

The Honda Element is even fresher than the CR-V. It made its US debut in 2003. It’s a smaller compact SUV.

Like the CR-V you can find the Honda Element in two separate categories. Pick between a 2 or 4 wheel drive. Both drives come in two models.

The Honda Element LX is a practical choice. It has great standard features at a cheaper price than the EX. It also comes with a manual transmission or automatic. The LX has radio/CD, 2WD or 4WD, side airbags, anti-lock brakes and waterproof seat fabric.

The EX is a more luxurious model. You buy this with either an automatic or manual transmission. A fun feature of this car is that it comes with XM satellite. It also comes equipped with cruise control, overhead storage compartment, and map lights.
