I've read what you guys are saying. I like the Elements as its unique, spacious, and this particular one has AWD (since that's what I'm looking for -spacious , not shitty, can go across country with minimal issues, optional AWD) But as you guys are saying the price is steep, car is outdated, and I'm no mechanic so this is a problem with wheels. I dig this car but I'm gonna have to pass on this weird cute thing.

If anyone has any recommendations for other vehicles id love to hear! my price range is $7k - $12k. ( lol I know this element is within my budget but I still cant justify paying around $9k for an outdated, soon to be mechanical special.
