The smallest big car
I love this car. It's a master of storage space and it's tough. I went car shopping to specifically find the smallest car I could fit my instrument into. And with the backseats folded up I have fit an entire 5-octave marimba (broken down) into the back with enough room to spare for my dog to be there too. The best it's done was fitting two fully set up vibraphones in the back. It looked like a clown car when we unloaded. And when I was in a small fender-bender, I got a tiny dent in my rear bumper and the other car had its front corner crushed. It is a loud car though, sometimes engine noise gets really annoying, but with the auxiliary connection there are always ways to drown it out. It can also be a little slow to accelerate so watch out for short on ramps because you won't pick up as much speed as you'd like. There's a piece of trim on either side of the windshield that flew off my car within the first year I owned it (I bought it used), but it really doesn't bother me since they seem to be purely cosmetic. Bottom line, I brave Los Angeles traffic all the time and this car gets me through it every time.

Small utility.
The Honda Element is a great little vehicle, giving you both space and maneuverability. With a large trunk area and folding back seats, there is plenty of room for you to take what you need with you. There is also the added pleasure of being Honda, which means cheaper parts if there ever comes a need to repair. There is also plenty of legroom and headroom in the cabin and back.

Love my Element
The Element suits my needs very well because it gets excellent mileage, but is configurable to both hold people or lots and lots of equipment. Also, the configuration is extremely easy to manipulate alone, and the back seats come out entirely. One drawback is that the back seat only fits two, but that's a problem I've only run into a handful of times in the years that I have owned it. Also, they discontinued the model the year after I purchased mine, which means there will be fewer spare parts for repairs...Though I have not had any problems with the car, and nothing had to be done other than the regularly scheduled maintenance. The stock radio and speakers were not very high quality, but it was an easy upgrade to replace these with much nicer aftermarket upgrades.
