dependable and handle a lot better.

The old one liner:

"Did you hear about the guy that bought a new Land Rover and it didn't
leak any oil so he kept taking it back and hounding the dealer till
they got it right?"

A double whammy!

was looking at used land rovers to replace my honda CRV which died at
210k miles

the reviews on used land rovers are TERRIBLE. freelanders with
cracked engine blocks (LOTS of this), transmission problems, etc....

so went with a honda element...

Believe I read that the Element is no more...... most Honda buyers in
that
category felt the CRV was a better buy.

My wife has a love/hate relationship with her CRV. After her beloved
Chrysler town'n country van with 250+ thousand on it, she decided she
was scared of it's dependability and decided to get something
diffrent. So she looked at CRV's. She's disappointed in all the
manual stuff. especially the seat adjustment, and the center console
and the ride. Other wise she likes the car's 30 mpg, manuverability
and adequate space for no more car than what is actually there.

Yeah, trade-off's but she's actually satisfied with her purchase. plus
she gave half for it as what a Chrysler TC or compatable van would
cost.

Accident on hywy 680 near me one day. Element ran off the road and hit the
emergency phone pole. Ended up the embankment and guy got out. looked
unhurt. Called the CHP to report the accident and could not remember the
name of the Element. 911 lady asked what make vehicle and I said the ugly
Honda station wagon. She laughed and asked if it was the Element. And it
is a crappy looking station wagon.
