2008 honda element Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Safety: You'll find antilock disc brakes with brake assist, traction control and stability control on every 2008 Honda Element.

2008 Honda Element Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The SC sits lower on a revised suspension and has projector-beam headlights. Interior Functionality is considered one of the Element's main attractions. The rear seats fold down to create a large, open cargo space in the rugged, easy-to-clean interior.
