Can't put one up front as there really isn't enough body support, since there is no B pillar, and the doors hold it together. Rear is good for air circulation for me.
Looked at the Element, ended up with the xB. xB handled better, drove with more pep, had a shockingly similar amount of room inside. I have seen the full DH rigs inside the Element, but I rolled my bike to the dealership to give it a try. I have the travel adjust 888 and a 30" bar, and with the travel dropped, I still had to fiddle with it to get the bike inside; it wasn't like it just rolled right in. I've had friends with them as city vehicles and they last forever and run like a Honda should.
After a year of the xB, I still find myself wishing for a shuttle truck at times.

The xB is crazy big for how small it is, if that makes sense. I think they have to be utilizing a 4th dimension or something, because I swear the interior volume is bigger than the entire volume of the car.
Whoever said they need AWD, I disagree. I live a bit outside of town in Upstate NY on top of a big ass hill, and have never had a problem with 2WD cars, good snow tires, and not driving like a moron. Would AWD be easier? Probably. Necessary? Nope.
