My wife has an 05 and it has been nearly trouble free. I think the blower
fan was making some noise and the Honda Dealer promply fixed it. It is a
great vehicle for her since it is AWD and a safe vehicle in the Wisconsin
Winters. My wife is a little rough on vehicle exteriors and interiors and
that makes it a perfect vehicle for her. The interior is easy to clean and
rugged, the exterior grey plastic stuff takes the scuffs that used to be
paint scrapes on her previous CRV. I know the new Element higher end
models
are painted (where the plastic trim is) and might not be as rugged, but if
they still make lower end models with the plastic trim, it really holds up
great. The ride is a little choppy for me (I drive a Camry) and it is very
utilitarian looking as you know, but overall a great vehicle that has
served
us well and still looks new 3 years later.
