While the sedan is still the figure head of the
family car household, the truth is that sport-utility-vehicles have
replaced sedans as the preferred movers of people and all their stuff.
And our 2004 pick for the smallest of that breed, our Best Small
Sport-Utility Vehicle, is the Honda Element. A repeat winner, the
Element remains the most versatile box on wheels we've ever seen. With
an interior almost as large as its exterior, clam-shell side doors for
easy loading, seats that can be easily folded or removed, and an
available rear sunroof for tall items, the Honda Element is in a class
by itself for small vehicle versatility.
