Overview & Reviews

Few vehicles from overseas manufacturers have garnered as much respect in North America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this status by being glamorous, sexy or thrilling. Instead, Honda just seems to have its finger on the pulse of what Americans value most. Take an Accord for a spin and you'll find it to be comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. It's also backed by strong resale value and a solid reputation for reliability.

You'll find that certain competing sedans and coupes are quicker, more prestigious or simply less expensive than the Accord. What's special about the Honda Accord, though, is its completeness. It scores well across a broader range of categories than practically any family-friendly sedan or coupe on the market. When examined from this holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why the Accord has become an automotive icon and remains one of our editors' top recommendations.

  Well worth it - 2008 Honda Accord
  By LOU L - September 11 - 4:06 pm

  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 sternie - September 11 - 11:16 am

  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 John - September 11 - 10:06 am

  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.

  New Accord Ex-L with Navigation - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Dave - September 9 - 7:20 pm

  Just purchases. Was a little disappointed with some of the features that seem to be standard on other cars in this price range. Other than these little things, I love this car. The navigation system is worth the additional cost (not to mention fun to play with). Wish I would have purchased the V-6 because the car seems a little underpowered. This is all I can complain about. This is a well built car and a great car to drive.

  So Far Not a Glich - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Dave - September 9 - 7:03 pm

  Still only at 80k but with the exception of usual oil changes and a brake pad replacement, maintenance has been zero. Reliability exceeds all previous vehicles Ive owned and performance far exceeds the other vehicle Ive owned in the mid-size sedan category which was a VW Passat. Fuel economy is excellent, usually am driving highway and will average 35 on summer tires and 32 on my snows. I live in Vermont where snow is an issue and with the addition of decent snow tires, its handling remains crisp and perfectly in tune with my driving. Looking to drive this car at least another 5 years.

  Love, Love, Love My 2004 Accord Cp - 2004 Honda Accord
  By KJ73 - September 9 - 9:13 am

  Ive owned Hondas for about 10 years now; starting out with a Del Sol, moving to Civic EX coupe, on up to my 2004 Accord Coupe EX-N, 6sp. I absolutely love my car: the get-up-and- go power of the V6 (throws me back periodically in first gear!), the easy to manage navigation system, the voice activation, the safety features and especially the XM radio. My fiance who is generally an American car-kind-of-guy cannot get over the power of the V6 in that coupe; its almost as though it has too much power. Not enough that Id be willing to give it up! :) Over all - there isnt a thing I would give up or change in this car!

  Good Car - 2002 Honda Accord
  By Honda Fan - September 9 - 8:56 am

  This is my 5th Honda, and it is the nicest one I have owned! I really like the fact that we can fit my family in and take it on trips. Quiet, and very easy to drive. A little bit of adjustment from my 2001 Civic LX, but a good adjustment. Ended up with this when my dealer suggested it was a better deal than a 2003 with the new body style.
