2011 Honda Element Ex Sport Utility 4-door 2.4l Plus Many Upgrades!! on 2040-cars
Seaside, California, United States
|
What we have here is my 2011 Honda Element. I have to be honest, I don't want to sell her, but a transfer to Japan is pretty much forcing my hand. A couple dealer installed options I want to point out, are the roof rack and trailer hitch/towing package. I have taken great care of this care it's entire life. She's been dealer maintained and I have all the service receipts to prove it. Also, she's due for service, so before the new owner picks her up, I'm going to get her serviced so you'll be good to go until the next service interval. (Yes, I'll have the dealer receipt to prove it!)
YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER ELEMENT LIKE THIS ONE!!!! The particular Element is sporting 6000K Xenon headlights, both hi and low beam. I upgraded the sound system to ensure I had bluetooth connectivity and hands free calling. Of course, when I upgraded the head unit, I also upgraded everything else...the stock system is a 300 Watt 7 speaker system...pathetic. Now, this particular Element is sporting a 9 speaker 1100 Watt stereo. All the speakers are Alpine except the subwoofer are alpine, the amplifier is an Alpine 5 channel unit, and the subwoofer is made by Polk audio...no expense was spared, and yes, the speaker wires were upgraded as well to handle all the extra juice! I can honestly say I prefer the clarity and depth of sound from this system over the Harmon Kardon system in my wife's Land Rover. (She won't admit it, but she does too!) For those of you worried about huge speaker boxes being everywhere, don't, all speakers are mounted in their stock locations. The subwoofer was upgraded from 6" to 8" within the stock unit's enclosure, and the rear door speakers gained a set of component tweeters installed flush in the door instead of plain speakers. The result is wonderful sound throughout the entire vehicle, bluetooth hands free integration for phone calls, streaming audio, and google maps integration. Also, to ensure I had 100% stock functionality, I added the sirius/xm radio interface to the radio, as well as the steering wheel control interface. So, sit back, leave your hands on the wheel because even though the system is aftermarket, all the stock controls work exactly how their supposed to!! This car is the best all around vehicle you'll ever own, hands down! Not only has it been declared the best pet vehicle ever, but it's heavy duty flooring and seat materials make it easy to clean for those of us with kids! Take it to the beach with the kids and the dogs...it's got the heavy duty rubber floor mats, and the Honda neoprene rear seat covers! It's got the roof rail system as well so you can strap your surfboards...bikes..kayaks, or whatever you want to the roof and hit the road! I've taken it camping more times than I can count, and it's absolutely amazing how much stuff you can fit, and worst case if you get to your site and it's raining, the seats all fold down into one another to form to beds inside the car. So there's no surprises when you come to drive your new car home, the car does have one small blemish on it. Someone kissed the driver's side rear fender when they were pulling into or out of a parking place next to me. I've included a picture of the spot, and I was quoted $250 by a highly reputable shop for a bumper re-spray to get it fixed as it is ONLY paint damage, nothing else...I just haven't had the time to get to it. Like I said at the beginning, this is my car, and I love it to death and wish I didn't have to sell it. I've upgraded it how I've wanted it, and have...or should I say had even bigger plans that what's already on there. I know she'll make anyone a great vehicle, whether you're a large family, or just someone who likes to hit the beach by themselves after work. Don't let this one slip by, 2011 is the last year Honda made these, and given the fact that the Honda dealership calls me at least twice a month asking if they can buy it back from me, these are becoming harder to find every day! Feel free to email, or call (Chris: 757-513-7776) if you have any other specific questions I didn't answer here! Good luck, and don't wait to make this special car yours! |

2016 Honda Civic will debut on September 16
Wed, Aug 26 2015The press days for the Frankfurt Motor Show are September 15 and 16. On that second day when all the German hubbub has died down, on other side of the Atlantic, Honda will be unveiling the US-spec production Civic in Detroit and Los Angeles. We'll only get to see the interior and exterior of the standard sedan that day; the coupe, five-door hatchback, the Si, and the Type R won't say hello until later. While there could be information on the Civic's new platform, Honda doesn't plan to offer any details on the new engines and powertrains. The sedan will come with a 1.5-liter VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder mated to either a six-speed manual or a CVT. Speedier versions like the Type R will get the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Honda is aiming for a fuel economy rating of at least 40 miles per gallon with the base model. As for what's coming beyond that, we have an idea of what the body will look like from the leaked patent images and the concept shown off in New York earlier this year. Spy shots have shown a new console layout within today's basic instrument panel structure, there'll be a better touchscreen and new infotainment system, driver assistance features like Honda LaneWatch and Honda Sensing, and heated rear seats, while the exterior bodywork has some Accord and Acura ILX influences and available LED headlights. Vowing not to make the mistake of the 2012 Civic, Honda says we'll get "sporty driving dynamics, more daring styling, and significantly improved fit and finish." Related Video:
Honda Accord sets the pace as Indy safety car with HPD upgrades
Tue, Apr 28 2015Honda has rolled out a new pace car to lead the pack in the IndyCar Series. But it didn't just slap some graphics and auxiliary lighting on a production model and call it a day. Honda Performance Development (HPD) was tasked with giving the Accord coupe a thorough overhaul to prepare it for the task at hand. To the 3.5-liter V6, HPD bolted a Borg-Warner turbocharger and fitted high-flow fuel injectors and custom intake, exhaust, pistons, connecting rods and intercooler as well as the crankshaft from the Acura RLX to drive output up to 400 horsepower. The transmission was beefed up as well, with a limited slip differential to help get the power down to the track surface. To keep it all in check, HPD fitted new brakes, a stiffened suspension and rolling stock. It's all been topped off with a factory aero kit, special graphics and lighting, with Sparco seats and four-point racing harnesses fitted inside. The latest in a series supplied by Honda since 2006, the Accord safety car made its debut this weekend at the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. Honda Unveils 2015 Accord Safety Car Apr 24, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. - Will pace IndyCar Series races starting Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park - Latest in series of Honda safety cars for Indy car competition - Production 2015 Honda Accord modified by Honda R&D Americas Honda today unveiled the 2015 Honda Accord Safety Car, which will lead the Verizon IndyCar Series field to the green flag for Sunday's Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. The latest in a series of Honda Safety Cars utilized since 2006 for Indy car competition, the 2015 Honda Accord Safety Car is a production model featuring performance enhancements created by Honda R&D Americas, Inc., for its new role. "The 2015 Honda Accord Coupe is an ideal match for IndyCar Safety Car duties," said Jim Lee, manager of Experiential Marketing for American Honda. "Taking its already large and powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine, we asked the team at Honda R&D Americas to enhance and develop a car that is perfectly suited to lead the Verizon IndyCar Series field. I think they accomplished all that we asked, and more." The Honda R&D team started with a production Honda Accord Coupe, then added a mix of engine and chassis modifications to create a fun, fast vehicle fully capable of pacing Indy cars at both road courses and oval tracks across North America.
