he 2011 Honda Element is mechanically unchanged. Its sole engine remains a 2.4-liter four-cylinder rated at 166 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration is adequate at best and labored when you�re haulin� three buds onto the freeway or up the mountain. Honda clipped what wings Element possessed when it dropped the five-speed manual transmission after model-year 2009. That leaves only a five-speed automatic transmission that saps much of what verve this engine possesses. Towing capacity is a modest 1,500 pounds.
2011 Honda Element is expected to attain the highest rank for front and side impact protection in upcoming crash tests. 2011 Honda Element valve shock absorbers use a low-pressure gas and heavy-duty, high-density compression bushings to absorb small vibrations control larger sharp movements for a more comfortable ride. New features for 2011 includes:
* New LX trim level adds popular features to DX trim level
* Passenger seat armrest added to EX
* Keyless Entry added to EX
* Bungee cords added on EX to driver-side front and rear seat backs
* Fiji Blue Pearl exterior color replaces Eternal Blue Pearl
The Honda Element got the attention of many drivers, especially drivers on the go and consumers who needed a cool looking vehicle with some storage features and some fuel economy.
