I love this car for two reasons: it's an Element and it's a stick shift. Everything about it is cool:
- amazing cargo capacity after seats folded up or removed
- great for camping trips
- extra roomy interior
- easy to clean
- nice handling
- fuel efficient
- extra storage on the roof rack
- suicide doors
- front and back seats fold to make a bed
- sleek black and blue exterior
- 156 hp 2WD
- and the feeling of complete control with a manual transmission
This is a rare find and the only one with a manual transmission for sale in California, not to mention the only stick below $10k anywhere in the U.S.
The car runs well with no immediate repairs needed. Includes an after-market shock sensor alarm and an upgraded Kenwood stereo. Due to the theft of the catalytic converter in 2023 it now has a whole new exhaust system. The car has been smogged.
I'm sad to part with it but would love to pass it on to another Element enthusiast who will get the most out of it.
