Upcoming New Cars in 2011 honda element With Specification and prices

Upcoming New Cars in 2011 honda element With Specification and prices also Previews And Pictures

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.

Best HatchbackBest HatchbackBest HatchbackBest Hatchback


The best hatchback in 2009 was given to the 2009 Honda Fit by U.S. News rankings and reviews. It scored very high in all the catagories, it actually outscored the 2nd place car by .8 points which is alot. The only thing it scored bad in was the look of the outside. It looks like a wagon, not like the sporty hatchbacks. One of the good things about it is that it can get up to 33 miles per gallon on the highway which is very nice. The Honda Fit has 20.6 cubic feet of space inside with is alot compared to the other hatchbacks. The Honda Fit's MSRP is right around $16,000 which isn't too bad but it is kinda pricey compared to other hatchbacks with similar characteristics.
