Cool choice ... I bought something else, a little wagon, just before these hit the scene. They would have been a contender.
BTW, do the rear seats come all the way out, or just fold different ways?

I literally exclaimed (out loud): "Oh, no, not an Element!" (Gotta admit, though, they're growing on me a *little* 🙂

PS: Sincere condolences re. the van. Sounds like you didn't mourn LONG, however!

They fold a gazillion different ways and you can also remove them.

We are now proud new owners of...<snip>
...the ugliest vehicle on four wheels.
-John Morgan
Lol !!! I was thinking the same thing. Two people at work bought one of those...eeek! I guess it's a lot like human babies; They're ugly too, but the mom still loves them.
On the other hand, they are very practical, roomy and Honda makes a great small engine.
There's another boxy, but a lot smaller thing selling like hot cakes around here. I don't know who makes it?

Yes, it really is fun to drive.
We didn't install an audio system yet (coming henceforth), but I did sing a beautiful rendition of "Kumbaya" to make up for it.

Do you have to lay them down, or does it have carriers? I ask because I thought I saw an ad where they had the bikes on carriers directly in the vehicle, but I can't find any carriers on Honda's website.

No carriers, they stand upright inside the vehicle just wheel them in, you bungy them to the sides so they don't flop around.

Let the tripping commence! I like these rigs. Roomy, reliable, economical, what's not to love?

To be honest, I think they're a bit fugly, but sounds like they may be great haul-stuff-around vehicles .... plus the tv ad is funny =)
Hrm, I think I'm gonna go take a look at the specs/price of these things ...
Ms. Carla, is this anyone's primary transportation, or purely a weekend warrior vehicle?

Agh! My eyes! ;-)
Next time you're road tripping Toronto way, stop in Buffalo and we'll ride. BTW, I liked the fixie photos. Pretty, pretty. My fix is out of commission, alas, as I trashed the cheap Ritchie headset in less than a year. The SS MTB badly needs new bearings in the front hub, so I'm reduced to commuting on my hardtail. I'm sure glad I have three bikes!

I hear that the psycho that designed the Aztek thinks they look great too (but his opinion would be pretty biased given his history).
