What is the top speed of the Honda Element with an automatic transmission?
I have a 2003 Honda Element with the 4 speed EX awd. Recently i took my car on a cruise and luckily I happen to find a long stretch of a road that had NO TRAAFFIC other than just plain flat aspalt, I decided to see how fast the car was able to go. After the test, I was not really pleased with the results of my car. I had to Floor the as just to get it a tad past 95 mph. But according to the performance specs online, they claim that this car has a governor of 110 mph.
My question is can the Honda Element actually reach that speed? I know this truck has the aerodynamics of a brick could that be the reason why it can't exceed 100 mph. Cuz around town/local highway speeds it is not slow by any means and has plenty of get up and go. Yone ever did a test on the top speed of this truck. This truck has been great to me so far. It is very roomy, good ground clearance, decent/peppy acceleration (no means of saying its quick) and good has mileage.
Should hit 60 like a boss
2003 Honda Element troll strikes again.
Wherever you read those specs from may have been correct 14 years ago, but your vehicle has lots of miles and especially if the engine is the OEM, you will not achieve that 110 mph
The car is old and will have lost some power due to wear.
Hi so it is amazing what some expect from cars of this age now 15 years old. Designed to last just 7 years.
Could be you were going slightly uphill. Could be your tires were soft. Could be low quality fuel. Could be wear and tear has taken a toll on it- it is 15 years old after all.
- How fast is the 03 Honda Element awd element with the automatic from 0-60? Is it a slow car for a normal 4 cylinder? Can it cruise comfortably at 85 mph on a highway with fast paced traffic?
- Honda owners: is there a difference in top speed between 4 speed and 5 speed element? My car is an 03 auto awd ex. I'm just curious, what top speed before drag effect comes into Affect? Can it achieve over 100 mph? I've heard that it can do 1-10 but I'm not sure whether that's for the 5 speed or the automatic bc the extra gear makes a difference in my opinion.
- Does a top mount intercooler have to be on top? I've got a 13b Turbo II Intercooler from an rx7 and I was wondering if it could be side mounted on a honda. I figure I'd just have to custom fit it somewhere but, I wanted some input if it would work like that. It should considering it's just a basically a cooler.
- What the actual top speed of the 2003 Honda element is? I know the speedometer says 120 mph but i'm definitely sure that the governor reduced the speed to an extent. Also do you think the Honda element is an ugly truck?
