  • Well worth it - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Recently bought the Accord after a falling tree totaled out my 2004 Maxima. Looked at all cars around the price range. I drive around 60 miles a day so fuel mileage was important.Was on the way to see a Toyota but stopped at Honda first.Took a test drive, looked at the one in the showroom and we were sold. Wife and I both commented on how solid it felt. Great interior room, Great safety features, and a great deal.We bought the one in the showroom. First tank mileage was 27 mpg not bad at all. Average has been about 26 to 27 mpg

  • 1st Honda, But Not the Last - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Let me start off by saying I love this car. I totaled my Mazda Protege 5 and spent the next 4 weeks comparing vehicles. With about 60% of my commute being freeway I am averaging about 27 mpg. This is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have owned.

  • Will probably be my last Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my 3rd accord that Ive owned in the past 5 model years. I had a 2003, a 2006, and now this 2008. The 2003 was a GREAT car. Little 4cyl 5 spd LX and it got awesome gas mileage. I then bought the wife a Honda Minivan, and traded the LX in on that. After about 6 mos I missed having an Accord, so I bought one for myself for my work commute. The 2006 was the 4dr EX V6 Manual 6spd edition. Got ok mpg averaging about 26.5-27.5mpg on my work commute which is about 85% highway. Bought this car and even on a 100% highway trip I couldnt get >26mpg. My work commute I get 22.5mpg. My 96 buick regal got 26-27mpg. Nice car but horrible MPG compared to ratings. Car maintained properly.

  • Mileage Disapointment - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I love my new Accord. It is fun to drive and roomy. At 63" I can sit comfortably in the drivers seat and have an unobstructed view out the windows. Unfortuantely, I am a bit disappointed with the MPG. I use the highway extensively. Between town and the Highway I only get about 1-2 MPG over my former 2000 6cyl Accord. The best gas mileage I have achieved for this 4 cyl. has been 30 MPG on 250 miles of continuous flat terain highway traveling no higher than 68 Miles per hour mostly on cruise. Around town I am averaging about 17 MPG. For a 4 cyl. vehicle, I expected better especially since I drive conservatively. Bottom line - This is a great car but dont expect it to spoil OPECs bottom line

  • Impressive Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Bought this car Dec.31 2007. Waited for five months to write this review. Have 3200 miles on the odometer. No issues. Silky smooth ride and drive. Daughter took it out and had a small ding on the right front fender. Cost $917 to fix - issue - integrated piece with headlamp. Beauty is expensive to maintain :-> Impressed by the headlamps and the interior layout. Radio buttons is a bit overwhelming. Audio quality is very good.

  • Burns 5-6 quarts ever 3,000 miles - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive owned this car for a year now and its burns 5-6 quarts of oil every oil change which is every 3,000 miles for me. I think thats a lot of oil for every oil change. Ive called a several Honda dealerships about my concern but since Im out of the warranty extension by 400 miles and by 3 months Im not elegible for the repair with the piston the rings. Now Im stuck so with a great car that burns a lot of oil and will end up paying more money to fix or replace the engine then what the car is worth. I definitely dont recommend the 4 cylinder 2008 Honda Accord unless your willing to carry at least 2 quarts of oil in your vehicle like I do. Until Im decided on what to do with this vehicle thats my review

  • Very Disappointed with Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    My Accord has more road noise than I expected. The engine is an oil hog. Uses 1 QT every 1800 miles and has since the very beginning. Honda will do nothing about it as they claim 1QT every 1000 miles is ok. Ive never had any other car do this. As far as Im concerned, I would not buy a Honda again nor would I recommend to anyone else!

  • Perfect family sedan - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    My wife and I are very pleased with this car. Honda really hit the mark. Good looking inside and out, comfortable and roomy, commendable performance, and excellent gas mileage. Oh, and a good stock stereo. What more could you ask for in a family sedan? Weve owned numerous fine cars, right up to a Mercedes E55. But at this point in our life, with a new grandchild and needing room and practicality, this car fills the bill.

  • 08 Accord Leader of the Pack! - 2008 Honda Accord

    Safety is standard equipment! Has three wide seating in the rear. How do they make a four cylinder produce that much power?

  • First Impressions - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Just picked up my new Honda LX-P last week. Very nice so far. Extremely roomy, front and rear. Rides very well. Fairly solid build, not quite as solid as Passat I traded. Too early to tell on gas, but advertised good mileage. Very pleased so far. Good if looking for a roomy car. I am 62" and have no problem sitting in back with front seat all the way back
