CLEAN CARFAX! The Honda Element was introduced to the United States in 2003 as Honda's compact crossover SUV. The Element was based on the CR-V platform and with it's boxy shape the vehicle allows for optimum storage capacity with a very large trunk and folding rear seats. The Element has a urethane floor for quick and easy cleaning. Also the 2010 Honda Element won in the 'Small SUV' category as a 'Top Safety Pick' in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Annual Awards. Now that the Honda Element has falling out of production it's even harder to find a quality pre-owned.
