The New Car

I can’t think of a better way to describe a big event than with some pictures. (Click on the pictures to see the full-sized image)

The proud owner of a new vehicle:

New Car Owner

It’s a new Honda Element. Cortney is playing with the storage bin above the console area.

Lot’s of room in the back seat, and the cup holders double as toy storage.

Roomy Back Seat

The rear seats fold up into the sides, leaving a large cargo (or impromptu play) area.

Big Cargo Space

The new car feels at home next to it’s older sister, our Honda Odyssey. The Element is slightly taller than the Odyssey, even though it is narrower and much shorter.

Even though I miss my old car, and haven’t made the adjustment for driving a sports coupe to a small SUV, I am very impressed with the Element. The car has a very smooth ride, reasonable acceleration, and a smooth shifting transmission. The car was surprisingly nimble navigating through heavy mall traffic this evening. I admit it’s beauty takes awhile to grow on you, but at least the car is easy to find in the parking lot.
