No dude, the real club is the Wrangler Club. I recently bought one (I have been pning for a Jeep for the better part of a decade, kid you not) and did you know Jeep Wrangler owners wave at one another? It's like a secret bretherenhood of the CJ7's... Originally Posted by chickwhorips

When I first got my jeep I didn't know why the hell all those people were waving at me. Did I underestimate my good looks? Originally Posted by Meg McKilty

IFjane, how do you like your Element? I have a 4WD and it used to average about 24 mpg until I added a Thule M.O.A.B. on the roof and now it averages maybe 21 mpg.
Glad you got an E. I have really appreciated the cargo space to haul the bikes around. I just added a U Haul trailer hitch and bought a Thule bike rack. Can't wait to see a pic of your bike and E. Congratulations on your new car!

I'm enjoying being blissfully car payment free. Don't tell my Alero but I'm looking at the Honda Fit. I checked the specs and it's remarkably roomy. With the seats down the teeny tiny car is pretty close to the Element Originally Posted by sundial

Sure, I can't roll bikes in or stand up in the back and dance
but plenty of room for the Costco run and/or doggie.
Price is far less than the E, side curtain airbags and MPG 38/33 mpg.Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

I'm with you on the payment free aspect of things. I am that way as well - after 5 years! Originally Posted by Trek420

I'm impressed that the teeny little car has all the bells and whistles of a really safe car! I didn't mean that quite the way it sounded! The side curtain airbags are an absolute must for me!!
GO Honda!
I've also checked into the CRV, but the airbags don't seem to be an option! What?? Anyway, all I've done so far is to check online. I haven't had the courage to go to a car dealership yet!

I *wanted* to like the Fit - really, I did. It was just too small for me - the seats weren't comfortable for my *admittedly well padded* rear end.
The CRV was a non-option for me because of the lack of a manual option. I *really* like my 5 speed
