  Great car compared to Camry - 2008 Honda Accord
  By bob - November 26 - 9:30 pm

  I had 2 Toyota Camrys and changing to the Accord, its a great positive change. First better handling. Suspension is harder and the stability control made the car very fun to drive. Assisted brake is better than the Camry. More room. 2 big suitcases + 3 small ones when taking family from airport (we were 5). I cant even believe it can fit them all. Concerning some issues: road noise. Im quite sensitive to noise and of course the noise canceling system is helping. Good point: it happens only time to time. The seat is slightly hard. I have to pull on the head rest and then its ok. The 190 hp is there when needed. No regret compare to the Camry LE. MPG: 29 mpg mixed for the last 6000 miles!

  My first and last honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Mark A. - November 24 - 3:33 am

  This was my first Honda purchase and it will be my last due to the poor performance of the V-6 variable cylinder management engine. When I bought the car the salesman and the brochure indicates that the VCM will work unnoticed. However after driving the car for awhile now that is not true at all. I complained to the dealer and the service manager indicated that they have had a lot of complaints about that engine. He put me in touch with the Honda Regional representative and he told me the same thing. He also told me that the V-6 engine has been "disappointing". However, Honda wont do anything about it, Im stuck with it. I will be getting rid of this car this spring.

  Gearbox and Transmission Junky - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Schuyler - November 10 - 6:03 am

  When I first received this car 11-2007, I noticed that the it was hard to shift into 3rd gear and would often pop out of 3rd gear and was told at the dealership that this would go away at around 10,000 miles well it did not. So then they replaced the gears and a week later fourth gear went out; thus every time I tried to put it into fourth gear yesterday and it would pop out again along with making a very high pitch sound but was not raising the revs on the tach Meter. Today it made high whining sounds in every gear and I barely made it to the dealership today. The dealer had my car for two days last week and will have my car for 4 days this week, I sure hope Honda can fix this.

  2008 Honda Accord Couple 2.4L 5AT - 2008 Honda Accord
  By RocTen - November 6 - 11:03 am

  Thus far its been a very dependable and trouble free car. Recall replaced rear brake pads at 27K. Front brakes lasted 90K. Only disappointment was center console trim vinyl bubbled up. Local upholstery shop for $65 upgraded it to leather. Had a 1996 Honda Accord Couple EX 2.2L 4AT that was still running strong at 250K when it was stolen. Best car I ever owned. Have the same expectation for this 2008. We will see.

  Go for the Stick - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Ran - November 3 - 11:00 am

  Car looks great in coupe form. Would recommend to get the stick, as the automatic feels quite detuned. There is also a lag on acceleration, likely due to the VEM. 2008 models have many problem areas; rear brake premature wear at 20,000, improperly installed headlights and taillights causing paint chipping around the lights. Seats are too firm and leather is quite "hard" in character and feel. Lots of room, especially for the driver and passenger. Radio works great. Gas mileage not quite as good as advertised. Quality does not seem to be up to par as previous Hondas. Resale value for the V6 is unacceptably low. Rear window should have a rear wiper.

  Wonderful car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By MP - October 25 - 4:06 am

  Last week I traded in my gas guzzling 06 Ford Explorer and was searching for something A LOT better on gas which was the 4 cyl Accord. Gas mileage is fantastic especially going from a V8 SUV to a 4 cylinder sedan (which by the way didnt think was going to have enough power and was wrong). Love the styling of the car inside and out, and I just had the windows tinted which make the car look even better. I really like the taillights and plan on putting a set of HIDs in soon to really set the care off. Definitely recommended

  The Edsel of Hondas!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By marymack - October 17 - 2:40 am

  Worst Accord Design Ever! And this engine is going in the 2009 Pilot??? Ive owned six previous Accords and LOVED them all. Ive have a 2008 Accord V6 EX with the infamous VCM engine. After multiple trips back to the dealer and various "fixes" (wheel balance, turned rotors, computer upgrade), the ride in this car is torture. The drivers seat redesign gives me a back/head ache after only a 10 mile highway drive to work. The VCM engine causes constant, violent shifts, shimmy and vibrations. So glad that I found this forum because the 2008 Accord V6 VCM engine is Hondas best kept, dirty little secret. Lets spread the word and force Honda to acknowledge this engine design nightmare.

  What a Car........ - 2008 Honda Accord
  By blackmax01 - October 14 - 1:33 pm

  I get a new car about every four years and this is my first Honda. My last three were a Camry a Maxima and a Audi. I waited for 3000 miles to really get a feel for this car before writing this review. With gas getting to 3.50 a gallon I figured I would go for a four banger instead of a six and I am not sorry. This car (big for a 4) has plenty of punch at 190 horses. Getting about 26-27 in mixed driving. The ride is firm but not harsh, It is more comfortable than the Maxima and looks much better than any Camry. Road noise is a little loud, but with a 270 watt stereo who cares! Looks good, rides good, has all the bells and whistles, and Honda dependable, what more can ask for under $25G.
