Just be aware that the Element has developed somewhat of a cult status, with used prices stubbornly maintaining at unusually high levels. Nevertheless, it's one of few vehicles whose interior is somewhat water-resistant (bucket and sponge), thus making transporting bikes after (wet) mixed-terrain rides less of a hassle.
A friend has a Honda Fit. This is essentially a mini-mini van with fold down rear seats, and he had been able to fit all but the longest bikes into the car without removing the wheels. Given that we are on the Riv forum, I'm sorry to report that the newer Rivs with their long chainstays are the bikes that cannot fit into the Fit without removing the front wheel.
