Finding a balance between reliability, family-sized practicality, and affordability feels like an unwinnable battle. The new-car market offers tons of models that feature one or two of those factors, but rarely all three. For example, a vehicle can be big enough for a family, and relatively affordable, but it might not be reliable. Or a model could be reliable and cheap, but the cabin might not hold much cargo. With all that said, it’s time to look at the used market because the Honda Element is one of the most well-balanced models out there.
