I had a 1991 carola hatchback with push button all wheel drive. That thing was indestructible. Used to live out of it in the summer, out in the woods with 2 dogs. It went places that most of my friends with trucks wouldn’t try.
The places that a standard passenger car will take you with a little faith and not caring if it needs to be abandoned. I’ve been in a Subaru legacy farther out than most 4wd adventures I’ve been on
Honda Element (okay maybe not quite “standard passenger car”) played that role for me. All wheel drive, short turn radius, reasonable height, bulletproof Honda engineering (except goddamn AC compressors, fuck!).
Thing would just cruise right through stuff that’d get pickups stuck, ones theoretically more suited to the task. Gave it to a family member around 280k miles, it got neglected then stolen and parted out, sad :(

I miss those days.

I really wish Honda would bring it back. It would be perfect for full electric.
