2005 Honda Element

The Element isn't that good looking, nor is it a high-performance vehicle. It is however a great car if you live an active lifestyle. Whether you're off to the mountains or the beach, it's got plenty of space, and is very adjustable.

It's got plenty of space inside, and a great view of the road for both the driver and the passengers. All passengers have plenty of legroom, and the interior floor can be hosed down to clean it, as it's plastic. The trunk door is in two parts, meaning you can open the top to dump any shopping in, or open out the tailgate to sit down and do whatever.

It's got clips on the roof of the vehicle for a ski box or cycle rack, and suicide doors mean easy access to the car.

In short, if you live an active lifestyle, you'll love it, although I would recommend the 4WD version for a little bit more oomph.
