Anyway we love ours. Bikes and Elements make a good pair... Previously had a Subaru wagon and while the bike fit there was some wrestling involved..

Another one here, too. I love it. Last weekend I took three bikes (with front wheels intact!) and assorted gear over the mountain to our LBS. One rear seat is out, but the other is in, and I folded it up against the side. Love the element - if I needed another vehicle I would buy one all over again!
