Honda Element 2009Change

I had a 2006 of the same model previously. In comparison, the 2009's front seats now have the seatbelt in the seat which makes it easier for backseat passengers to get in and out but the seats no longer fold forward. 2009 has TPM system, great to let you know if you have a flat but expensive if you switch between summer and winter tires (calibration fee). With no TPM the abs system is somehow effected, was told that the car will slow itself down instead of allowing you to spin the tires if say slipping on an uphill, was also told turning off the skid control will not disable it either.
2009 also has an internal monitor for oil changes and service, again a money maker for honda. Say you wanted to do your own maintenance, you would have to have system reset by honda. Apparently it adjusts for wear and tare on vehicl based on driving habits/temperature operated in.
2009 has outside temp guage. I like that.
No moon roof in 2009, bummer.
Outside design is a little different, seems that water rises off the hood and hits the windshield more than I remember it doing before.
2009 also has a removable centre console, almost like a lunchbox. It locks in place. Also like.
I understand the engine is a bit better than the 2006 and it is quieter than the 2006 was.
Great vehicle for 2, carries lots of stuff, passengers have oodles of leg room. Love having no carpet, great stereo (2009 equiped with xfm if you want it).
oh, and small gas tank
