The "Lego-style" as you call it is my favourite. I have looked for a while for a decent price on a used model, but the damn things have ridiculous resale prices and are just a little too pricey new for a second vehicle.
I think I like it so much because it reminds me of the Thing.
Prufrock - my brother had a 1974 VW Thing...Orange with green racing stripes that actually SAID "The Thing" It was so ugly it was cool..had an under dash AM/FM radio, drain holes in the floor, windshield could be folded down on the hood, windows popped out, black vinyl seats (daggum hot in the summer with the top down!), removeable doors, the Beele engine, you were lucky to see 100 km/h with a taliwind. We would put 8 in it, 2 in front, 3 in the back seat, 3 sitting way out back and hanging onto the roll bar...
Damn I miss that car.. |

The Element isn’t particularly heavy, but thanks to the four-cylinder engine, it feels heavier than its 1,629kg (3,591 lbs) curb weight would suggest. 105 kg heavier than a 4x4 5 speed Tribute and saddled with an automatic. Ya, the 5 speed would breath some life back in to it. |

I had an Element, Changed to a Mazda5 b'cos of the sliding door for the convenience of the new born baby. Until today, i still miss my Element !! The Element SC is not worth the extra coin tho IMHO.The original cladding is the best !! |

The rear suicide doors are not very user friendly if there is rear seat passengers. Great openings for loading and unloading stuff.  I brought home a big screen TV, a dishwasher, 21" folding ladder, small office furnishings in an Element. |

Driving Television showed exactly that in episode 414 here: http://drivingtelevision.com/index.php?epID=414 |

However, if you are extremely protective, or have kids that tend to jump from the car while it is moving — this could be a huge bonus. LOL! Hahaha |

Those are useful with children and very much fun with adults.  |

My brother had one of these (2004?), he dumped it because a friend had little pinhole rust spots all over his. Sure enough my brother looked at his and the same problem. He was not impressed, loved the vehicle for the funcionality it offered: two dogs, mtn. bikes, decent gas mileage. He dumpd it and bought a Mazda3. His other, older car happens to be an Impreza. My brother sort of was the target demographic...just 15 years older.
