Back in the day when I bought my Element, upon delivery the dealer told me to never wash it out with a hose. I asked why they gave that advice, and the dealer said there was an ad (I think print?) by Honda that showed a dude hosing out an Element and they had all these cases of people bricking their cars as a result.
I loved that car, it got totaled when a van badly rear ended it, and I ended up getting $22k back on a 4 year old car that cost $23k new.
- vlunkr 5y agoI definitely remember a TV ad where someone hoses out their car after going to the beach. Unfortunately I don't remember the make/model and Google isn't turning anything up. I wonder if people incorrectly associated that with the Element.
