www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 9, 2007 - 37 Honda Continued from Page 34 The small passenger side door can only be opened with the front doors open, which can be a nuisance with frequent use. Out back, the clamshell tailgate allows longer items to slide in without straining your back, and the large rear window opens to create a canopy for protection from the sun or rain. The rear seats can be folded lengthwise to create a bed, flipped up and secured to the Element's side using a carabineer or removed entirely, creating more than 2,100 litres of cargo room. With one seat flipped up to the side and the other removed, we were able to transport a new bathtub in its big, bulky box from a home improvement store. Available in front-wheel-drive only (all-wheel-drive is available on the mid-range EX-P model), the SC is tweaked for improved handling with stiffer front and rear stabilizer bars, firmer spring and damper tuning and large 225/55R18 tires. Inside, audiophiles will delight in the SC's 270-watt, high-output audio system with CD player, MP3/WMA capability, auxiliary audio input, steering wheel mounted audio controls and seven speakers, including a 6.5-inch subwoofer. For 2007, the entire Element lineup gets freshened styling and injection of power, with 10 additional ponies on tap (up to 166 hp) from its 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine, and a new available 5-speed automatic transmission. Safety is also beefed up across the line with standard front side airbags, side curtain airbags, tire pressure monitor and stability control. In addition to the SC, the Element is available in LX and EX-P trims, starting at $25,200 and $28,000 respectively. Both of these models feature Honda's Fabric for Extreme Conditions (FXC) waterproof seat material ­ the LX on the front seats only and the EX-P on all four seats. Standard features across the line include air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, power doors and windows.
