2011 Honda Element Ex Sport Utility 4-door 2.4l Plus Many Upgrades!! on 2040-cars
Seaside, California, United States
What we have here is my 2011 Honda Element. I have to be honest, I don't want to sell her, but a transfer to Japan is pretty much forcing my hand. A couple dealer installed options I want to point out, are the roof rack and trailer hitch/towing package. I have taken great care of this care it's entire life. She's been dealer maintained and I have all the service receipts to prove it. Also, she's due for service, so before the new owner picks her up, I'm going to get her serviced so you'll be good to go until the next service interval. (Yes, I'll have the dealer receipt to prove it!)
YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER ELEMENT LIKE THIS ONE!!!! The particular Element is sporting 6000K Xenon headlights, both hi and low beam. I upgraded the sound system to ensure I had bluetooth connectivity and hands free calling. Of course, when I upgraded the head unit, I also upgraded everything else...the stock system is a 300 Watt 7 speaker system...pathetic. Now, this particular Element is sporting a 9 speaker 1100 Watt stereo. All the speakers are Alpine except the subwoofer are alpine, the amplifier is an Alpine 5 channel unit, and the subwoofer is made by Polk audio...no expense was spared, and yes, the speaker wires were upgraded as well to handle all the extra juice! I can honestly say I prefer the clarity and depth of sound from this system over the Harmon Kardon system in my wife's Land Rover. (She won't admit it, but she does too!) For those of you worried about huge speaker boxes being everywhere, don't, all speakers are mounted in their stock locations. The subwoofer was upgraded from 6" to 8" within the stock unit's enclosure, and the rear door speakers gained a set of component tweeters installed flush in the door instead of plain speakers. The result is wonderful sound throughout the entire vehicle, bluetooth hands free integration for phone calls, streaming audio, and google maps integration. Also, to ensure I had 100% stock functionality, I added the sirius/xm radio interface to the radio, as well as the steering wheel control interface. So, sit back, leave your hands on the wheel because even though the system is aftermarket, all the stock controls work exactly how their supposed to!! This car is the best all around vehicle you'll ever own, hands down! Not only has it been declared the best pet vehicle ever, but it's heavy duty flooring and seat materials make it easy to clean for those of us with kids! Take it to the beach with the kids and the dogs...it's got the heavy duty rubber floor mats, and the Honda neoprene rear seat covers! It's got the roof rail system as well so you can strap your surfboards...bikes..kayaks, or whatever you want to the roof and hit the road! I've taken it camping more times than I can count, and it's absolutely amazing how much stuff you can fit, and worst case if you get to your site and it's raining, the seats all fold down into one another to form to beds inside the car. So there's no surprises when you come to drive your new car home, the car does have one small blemish on it. Someone kissed the driver's side rear fender when they were pulling into or out of a parking place next to me. I've included a picture of the spot, and I was quoted $250 by a highly reputable shop for a bumper re-spray to get it fixed as it is ONLY paint damage, nothing else...I just haven't had the time to get to it. Like I said at the beginning, this is my car, and I love it to death and wish I didn't have to sell it. I've upgraded it how I've wanted it, and have...or should I say had even bigger plans that what's already on there. I know she'll make anyone a great vehicle, whether you're a large family, or just someone who likes to hit the beach by themselves after work. Don't let this one slip by, 2011 is the last year Honda made these, and given the fact that the Honda dealership calls me at least twice a month asking if they can buy it back from me, these are becoming harder to find every day! Feel free to email, or call (Chris: 757-513-7776) if you have any other specific questions I didn't answer here! Good luck, and don't wait to make this special car yours! |

Acura NSX to be built in Ohio in 2015
Tue, 14 May 2013Honda today confirmed that the forthcoming Acura NSX hybrid supercar will be built at a brand-new facility in Ohio. This will be the company's third plant in Ohio, and will come as the result of a $70 million investment. Honda first hinted that NSX production would be coming to Ohio when the original concept car was revealed at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Honda's new facility, called the Performance Manufacturing Center, will encompass a 184,000-square foot space inside of the automaker's former North American Logistics building and will employ 100 associates. As you might expect, the Performance Manufacturing Center is located just a few miles from Honda's American-based R&D facility, as well as the Marysville auto plant, where production of the 2014 Accord Hybrid will kick off this fall.
"The location of this facility is in the midst of one of the greatest collections of engineering and production talent in the world. So it makes sense that we will renew the dream and build this high-tech, supercar in Marysville, Ohio," said Hidenobu Iwata, president and CEO of Honda of America, in a press release.
Honda Jazz looks like a good fit for Paris
Wed, 17 Sep 2014The quirky, utilitarian little hatchback that we know as the Honda Fit in the US carries the more melodious Jazz name in Europe. And while the newest Fit is already on sale in our market, folks are still waiting for it across the pond. Honda is unveiling its new Jazz Prototype to the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October, and it's nearly identical to what is currently on sale in North America. In fact, it's hard to image Honda changing much from this "prototype" before launching it for Europeans.
The Jazz's design is exactly what you would expect after even a glance at the current North American Fit. Except for a different wing at the rear, a shark fin antenna and a new set of wheels, this Jazz plays the same tune we've heard before.
The one thing keeping the Fit and Jazz from truly being identical siblings is that the European model packs Honda's new 1.3-liter i-VTEC Earth Dreams engine under the hood, rather than the 1.5-liter used in North America. But just like our Fit, the Jazz will be available with a six-speed manual or CVT. The Japanese automaker says that the Jazz goes on sale in the summer of 2015. Scroll down to read the company's announcement for its upcoming hatch.
No S660 for US, but Honda wants sporty cars
Mon, Aug 31 2015Honda, best known lately for being a mainstream player rather than the brand that brought us the CRX Si, NSX, Integra Type-R, and S2000, apparently wants to builds sporty cars for the US again. With that in mind (or not), Honda has ruled out bringing the tiny, sporty S660 roadster across the Pacific. "I wouldn't put my chips on [the S660]," American Honda Executive Vice President John Mendel told Automotive News. At nearly 11.1 feet long, the S660 slots in between the 12.8-foot Mazda MX-5 Miata and the 8.8-foot Smart ForTwo. Yet Mendel says the tiny two-seater wouldn't work here. "When the practicalities of the market come in, and the car only so big, that might not be the best car for the US market," Mendel said. "It might be better for India or China or somewhere else." Honda is considering its options here in the US, though. As AN reports, after his takeover earlier this year, new CEO Takahiro Hachigo promised more sporting models, like the new, US-bound, 300-horsepower Civic Type R. And while it's no secret that Honda has filed patent drawings for a mid-engine model, Mendel offered little to indicate that it'd become a reality. Calling the project from Honda's Silicon Valley research and design facility a "design study," Mendel wouldn't answer AN when it asked whether this new model was successor to the S2000 or a more attainable, lower-powered NSX. He did, however, say his company was getting pressure from dealers over the lack of verve in the company's lineup. "They want anything in the sports car world," Mendel told AN. "They're going, 'Gimme a sports car.' They want a retractable hardtop; they want a high-horsepower $20,000 sports car. Because that's the nature of what they do." There you are, Honda. Your dealers want it, which means your consumers are probably are asking for it, and your CEO wants it, too. Make something happen.
