Some of you might remember this blocky lego-looking SUV from Honda.  It is an SUV that was ahead of its time.  I believe if Honda brought this SUV back today, it would be better received.

It is called Element.  It was designed for those adventurous that wanted something practical.  Boy did they knock this SUV out of the park!  No it doesn’t do rock crawling with 4-wheel drive, which inherently is not practical.  But it has available V6 All-Wheel drive.  And the blocky design gives it ample room everywhere.  The seats go all the way back or it can be put away to the side completely. The doors are suicide doors so there is a bit of annoyance there but it provides such a huge opening you won’t miss the normal door style.  The outside lower trim of the car is made of rugged plastic material to make it elastic.  It makes it dent and scratch resistant.  It also reduces the cost of replacement if you happen to hit a rock and crush it.

Honestly, if you are into outdoor adventures that don’t require rock crawling, look no further than a used Honda Element.  There is plenty of mod communities and youtubers making a build out of these.  Because it is a lesser known Honda, you could snag one for a deal.
