Love it straight to the point. Definitely got my subscribe and 👍

Tank's verry interesting

Bro Im looking at this cause I managed to snatch it as my first car.

There has never been a V6 in the XC90!

its horrible on gas

My pop has a 2004 it is a great vehicle. Great video 👍

You ever thought of trying eflexfuel to save you gas, increase hp and torque? I think it’ll help with the acceleration.

Hell ya 🤘🏻

98 Ram 1500 2wd is the reason why i wanted to get a manual (three different transmissions shit out before the last blew up the engine💀💀)

Volvo never offered a v6 and all engines except the yamaha made v8 have timing belts. the weak transmission of the 3 liter (wich is actually a 2.9 liter engine) youre reffering to isnt event that bad, the GM4t65e is a fairly reliable transmission, it just has a problem with the epc valve for the servo pin causing the forward brake band to snap. Only the early 05 v8 have a problem with the counter balance shaft, after that drilled a hole in the cover so fluids can drain. So you should be fine if you buy a 06+ or just dont let water get to your engine. Also a common failure ´point on the xc 90 is the CEM especially on the models after 05 when they got the newer type of CEM, essentialy water runs under the cowl and if the seal for the fusebox fails it drips onto the CEM.

The 3.2 engine is not a v6 but it is an inline 6

I have a Jeep TJ and Prius to make up for the bad mileage.. looking to add a 2000 4Runner to the lineup 👍🏽

Just bought almost exact the same 2014 though-I liked the thoughts at the end a lot thanks! I am so exited to receive the bike in 1-2 weeks

Wish they put a hybrid in the new ones the wheel transfer power back to the battery and still has an gas engine, best of both worlds, a little lift 2 inch and some aggressive tires would be nicer for off road use too and AWD only! . This would still make the best get around town vehicle and little camper vehicle too. What a great video of the Honda Element!

Hey I bought this xj off you.

Brother, such a detailed and well researched review. Very grateful for this post as I am looking for an XC90. Best wishes from Edinburgh, Scotland.

I love my ole 2004 “EWagon” as I call it but it’s really a “lemen” because the L and the T fell off😕🤷🏼‍♂️ but she’s got well over 320k and fires up every time as long as someone don’t leave the lights on.. since the bells and whistles quit working so it’s easy to forget to turn off.. I’m not sure I’ll part with that car before my wife😬.. I’ll see what I get out of her before I drop a crate motor in it then it will out last me if I don’t go sooner😆

2019, kinda nostalgic for being nearly the end of the world Y2K, not that 1999 BS new Years Eve practice rehearsal. If you only knew the chaos and financial hardship coming I think you would not be selling this beautiful machine. Now I haven't seen your gen 4, I could be mistaken not knowing what this sold for, and unsure of your affection to the new gen4, however, listing this today would start a bidding war for such clean, well preserved piece ofJapanese craftsmanship.

Great demo!! I gotta get one of these!!

Probably the best car history and tour I've seen in a while. Thank you. Hope you do many more of these.

I’m selling my Honda element! Great condition. 213mi $7000 ready to camp coversion

I owned one from 2003 to 2020 and put 200k miles on it. This guy covered everything there is to know about it. I regret selling it for 1,500

Ok, I asked my local garage guy about lifting an element and my pilot and he advised against it saying the bushings go and it ruins the car. I don't believe him because his example was a jeep cherokee. How has your element held up w the lift?

Very informative. Thank you.

Great presentation.

Nice Video Review. Do you know if you can flat tow the standard transmission in neutral position without hurting the gearbox?

I subbed - great summary

What's the difference between an LX against the EX?

Good review 👍🏿 well detailed. Do you still own. The xc90 ?

Hi, how did you manage to diagnose that it was the harness? I have very similar symptoms

Nice video altogether! In the beginning you mentioned that the backlights were revised in 2007 to continuous led stripes. The led backlight upgrade didn't happen until 2012. But you are not wrong! The whole car including the backlights were facelifted in 2007 only not to led :) ALSO the engines are all inline engines besides the v8. In other words the naturally aspirated 3.2 is not a v6 as you stated. What comes to reliability the 3.2 NA engine (straight six) is the most reliable option due to NA simplicity and low tune of the engine. It also shares it's drivetrain with the V8 so transmission problems in regularly serviced 3.2 examples should not be an issue. Of course the later model the vehicle is the more time the manufacturer has had time to fix common reliability issues. Therefore, In my opinion, the 3.2 from 2008 onward is the best choice.

Love my 06 element,,bought for 1900,110k..engine misfiring..swapped for one at junkyard ($380)I pulled myself..running like a champ now💪

Cool story..ur a savvy guy

This is an excellent guide! Thank you so much! This told me everything I wanted to know and plenty more. What an adorable machine!

La tercera generación tiene, el motor 3,400 V6 que un motor potente

Where is the best place to order Honda parts for my element. I'm shipping it to an Island and want to get an overhaul.

I just bought a 2007 Element EX 103k miles for 12 grand. I tried to go lower but the miles was the price. I can't wait to hit the road with it!

Outstanding video! Very informative! Thank you!

That back wheel is NOT centered. Trimming needs to be done up front.

You can also fold the front passenger seat flat forward, which is brilliant for very long loads. Small catches at the bottom of the seat, accessed from the rear passenger footwell.

Excellent review and video quality. Very useful to me, I'm in the market for a new head unit for my 2nd gen (though I won't be getting the Alpine!).

Going to look at a 2000 4runner tomorrow 🤞. Thanks for just getting to the point about the specs of the vehicle without all the theatrics

"The 3.2 liter V6" was never an option. Volvo hasn't made a V6 engine since the PRV that was used in the delorean in the 80's. The 6 cylinder engine was the INLINE six. Inline sixes and V6's are very different, both in terms of how they drive and how they are to work on. A V6 is a packaging miracle that lets car companies save money and reduces upfront cost, but is a pain to work on. The Inline 6 is a special hypersmooth engine that is easy to work on.

Give me Yr contact please

I love this car

"Heyyyyyy" super cold vid. The new Fonzi! Dig the VW tail pipe idea and the looks.

0100.. Excellent review. Getting a 2010 D5 12:20 soon.cheers😊

Can you further explain (at 11:17) the 'grenade' engines (your choice of words) in the V8 engines prior to 2009? Is there a way to fix the counterbalance issue prior to it 'grenading.'??? Thanks

The only reason I liked the lx 470 is because of the engine reliability, and if I wanted to add more. The AHC is way ahead of its time impressively smooth like how a luxury car should be.

Good stuff 👍👍, but you lost me at "... not only Jeeps can wheel, but these Elements can handle it just as well". Quite the stretch. I read and hear from so many people who develop expectations of a lifted Element that will never be met. I own a Jeep and 3 Elements. Elements can NOT and NEVER WILL be comparable to a "Jeep". When you talk about a Jeep in this vein, you/we are talking about the typical solid axle trail capable Jeep like a Wrangler or Cherokee. I too will be installing a lift on one of my Elements, but I am under NO DILUSION that it will be even 10% of the capability that ANY real stock off-road truck has. I just want the extra ground clearance and larger tires like you mentioned - Your comment about raising for more ground clearance and space for bigger and more capable off-road style tires is right on the money. Love Elements AND Jeeps.
