"I had the opportunity for a road trip this weekend. I drove from Ellensburg, WA to Bellingham, Wa via Snoqualme pass, about 340 miles round trip . I was very impressed with the performance of the car. The engine out did my V6 in our Ford. The mountain pass is about 3000 feet and I never did have to slow down due to a sluggishness or down shifting. I found that heading back up the pass, the steepest climb, all I had to do was lock out the overdrive and I cruised right up.\n\nBellingham is the ultimate Element town, a very sports oriented, college town with beaches and hiking trails all over. The dogs and I spent 2 days hiking in sand and mud and the car held up very well. For the most part, few people made a show of looking at the car. 2 people did stop me in parking lots and a few others slowed down. While in Bellingham I spotted 2 other Elements.  It was a good fun trip and I still love my car.\n\nJoan\nhttp://www.eburg.com/~jneslund/matt/Honda_Element/"
