Detailed review: |
Loved the car right up until 33k miles when it started to fall apart. At 33k the windshield broke (check it out it happens to all the 2003 Elements). At 37k the Air Conditioner ate itself. At 38k it started to drain anti-freeze into the passenger compartment. The dealer said it was my problem and added that they didn't like my attitude which was Honda fixes it or I sell the car. Honda hasn't done anything to fix it. I'm in the process of dumping it. A real disappointment because I usually keep cars for about 120k miles and was hoping my first Honda would hold up at least as well as some of the American-made cars I've owned. Oh well. |
