The Honda K24 engine used in the Element, later Accords, and CRV's have a chain. No more belt at the expense that you get some "chain whine". Small price to pay IMHO.

My 2011 Accord has this engine with the iVTEC head and no variable displacement (full-time 4 banger) and does ~25mpg in town driving, ~36mpg highway, ~26mpg combined. My manual Civic I had before it did 30/38mpg. Pretty impressive economy from a car as big as the Accord with a slushbox.
