![]() ![]() ![]() The only drawbacks I see are the ride, the MPG, and the quality of plastic used inside. My last car was a 4800 lb SUV and it stopped better. With the SC package and the wider, lower profile 18" tires it grabs the road good and corners well. I am still on the original discs with 110k miles but I suspect I'll need new discs in about 4 to 10 k miles and it may be time for brakes again. My original brakes up front and on the rear last about 75k miles. My original Honda tires lasted about 68k miles. Just had new plugs put in at 103k miles and while driving out of Chicago on the Expressway, I just noted to myself that his car drives as good as it did when new. It's the newer 2.4 Liter engine used in the Accords and CR-V's with a TIMING CHAIN, not a BELT! That's a maintenance saver right there. The XM radio sounds great, especially with the 8 or whatever speakers this thing has and the sub-woofer up front. 110k miles and just that one repair (outside of the usual brakes, tires, battery) Seats are comfy, the doors open a full 90 degrees for easy loading and unloading, and with the rear seats removed there is quite a bit of room. ![]() I have 110k miles on the car and aside from a problem with the Throttle Position Sensor at about 80k, the car has been flawless. The other dealer had ONE black and ONE blue one. I bought it new in late summer of 2008 and it was HARD to find an SC! There are 6 or 8 HONDA dealers within 20/25 miles of me and only 2 had SC's. I didn't like the ones with the flat black fenders (LX) and the flat black bumpers (EX). I always get looks from other ELEMENT Owners because I don't think many of them knew about the SC version. Very practical and useful car and at $22,500 (Had a Honda $1500 end of year discount and the dealer came down another $1600 or so), it's not too much cash. ![]()
