Honda Recalls 2006 Civic

This is why you should probably wait until a car has been out for a year or two before you buy it.

nothing like a damn sticky petal...I remember mine did that and it scared the hell out of me. (just got caught on car mat though..not a serious defect)

If I could afford one, I would buy a honda SUV. They seem gas friendly and seem to have enough to get me buy with (like an element)

You like the ELEMENT? That is a DOG UGLY car! Get one of these:

And get me one too ;)

I dont know, the way gas price are and the specs

Fuel Tank Capacity: 26.4 gal.; EPA Mileage Estimates: 13 mpg / 18 mpg; Range in Miles: 343.2 mi. / 475.2 mi. That is 66 dollars a fill up (2.50 a gallon) at 4 times a month that is about 3400 dollars a year on gas. For me, I have been checking out mpg, if you have the money, be my guess. It is a nice looking car, but crapy gas mileage.
The Element


Cost of a Fill-up
$34.06

Miles on a Tank
315 miles

Tank Size
15.9 gal

Cost
$1624

I'm guessing if you are concerned about the cost of gas you are not going to be buying a Porsche.

I still think the element is dog ugly. I'm not much on SUVs though.

with the specs u give drew man, it seems like your element only grabs 19 mpg, and holds only a mere 16. So with your calculations that you would NEED to fill up 4 times a month, that means with the cayenne your driving 1492/1900 miles a month, but somehow if you get an element, your only gonna drive 1260 miles. What im trying to say is, having the cayenne may indeed cost 3400 a year, but having the element will not cost that significantly less. Most likely you wont fill the cayenne up 4 times a month. your gonna spend the same on gas a year give or take a few hundred.

I made this comment yesterday, but the server crash deleted it.

Since you like the Element why not get you a Scion xB "box". They are even more "box-like" than the Element.

I don't trust Toyota on the Scion...looks like it'll burn if toppled

I like the Element because Hondas are like herpes...last a damn long time. I know someone who had 500k on his Honda...but it finally died on him recently.

Hondas are tough cars.

Honda's are tough. I own a nice Acura myself. I don't agree that Scion is a bad concept, it seems to be working. But to even compare a Porsche to a Honda is an insult. And if you think the Element is a nice looking car you have no taste, pure and simple.

ZCT, that's what they told me when I bought my new 1987 Honda Civic Wagon. I loved that car!
