Honda Element / Vehicle choice?

[ibaldwin]

I just got a 2017 Ford Transit Connect over the summer - I’m largely happy. It’s allowed more ride time for me as I can safely keep bikes on hand and on the ready for any ride that pops up beyond planned rides. The Element was my first choice but as I needed a daily driver (only one car for me at this time) I couldn’t find one with less than 100K miles. I think the Element is really hard to beat and for a third car, I’d probably go with that even over the Transit. The Transit is not an exciting vehicle in any way, but it drives well enough and obviously the selling point is the cargo room - you do need to remove some/all of the second row seating to get bikes in without wheel removal but I can fit up to three bikes, and even my long enduro sled fits in there no issues.
