  • Awesome ride EX-L V6 5AT - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This Car is a Pleasure to drive from day 1. I have the diamond white pearl which is awesome with the tan interior. I just love the VCM makes the car give great mileage. Its the roomiest Accord I have ever had. Its the most comfortable Accord I have had. I have only one complaint that is the Road noise that I get from this and all the accords I have owned since 1997.

  • Awesome car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car on May 2008. It is nice car. I considered to get LX, but the salesman told me I had better get LX-P if I wanted to have security system and alloy wheel. I compared this car with Mazda6 and Camry. The Accord is better than other those car on gas mileage and reliability. I will keep this car.

  • My First New Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned some 30 plus used cars and decided to treat myself to a new car. I read reviews and studied for 5 months.This car has been nothing but a dream to drive. No buyers remorse. I have driven 2000 miles in 30 days. Snow, Rain, dry, day, night. 4 cyl delivers great power but a little hungry on fuel. Blind spots. Set your mirrors well. Backing up tricky at first, my 2nd night I almost hit a tree. The transmission shifts so smooth & correctly. Handling awesome. Corners well. Road noise a bit higher than it should be but thats why they gave a great sound system. A little pricy but its really a comfortable car and a great driving machine.

  • Best value for the money - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After researching several sedans in this category, I zeroed in on Accord. overall I am a happy camper. In the first two weeks of my driving, I averaged around 29MPG in mixed driving conditions. not bad for a big car. I would guess around 33 in pure highway driving. The interior room is enormous. All the safety features are standard in all Accords unlike Toyota where you have to pay for some. I selected EX-L, since I wanted leather, premium audio, dual climatic control and heated mirrors. these features were once the holy grail of luxury cars. 190 HP engine is a good compromise for performance and fuel economy. My biggest gripe on this car is the road noise. Honda can do much better with this

  • Beware -rear brake problem - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have happily bought and driven Hondas for over 30 years--until now. My 2008 EX-L V6, with mostly highway miles totaling 28,500 recently needed new rear brakes at a cost of nearly $360. The front brakes are fine. They tell me that this is normal wear...yet asked if I may have driven with the parking brake on or "ridden"the brakes....I dont believe it! I called Honda to articulate my concerns, and I have seen many other similar complaints on the web! This needs to be investigated....Since the car was the new model, I suspect that as time goes on, this flaw will become more apparent...

  • I LOVE this car! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive only had my Accord for a few days. This is my first Honda ever. My main reason for purchasing this car was to get a fuel-efficient vehicle that also was comfortable to drive on long trips. Little did I know, when I bought the car, I would be getting so much more. I normally dont like to drive. This car is fun, though. For years, Ive resisted 4 cylinder vehicles because I like to have good power while driving for quick takeoffs in the city and good speed for passing on the highway. So far this car is a prime example of having my cake and eating it too. The interior is luxurious and large. I have long legs and the Accord EX-L sedan has more than enough room for me.

  • Mixed bag - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Traded in my 2006 Accord SE. Loved it. The driver seat in the 2008 is much more comfy. Pick-up is much worse. Stereo sound quality is worse. There is much more room in the 08. Ride noise is similar. Tires on the 06 were of better quality - I got over 80,000 on my 06 Michelins. So its a mixed bag. Overall, Im satisfied. The 08 is a nice car and still offers the best combination of size and fuel efficiency.

  • V6 EX-L Loaded w Nav - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Looked at E 350 MB and Acura RLs both very nice cars. The Acura comes loaded but is made by Honda so we figured to try the Honda Accord v6. It didnt have as much luxury inside but the car was hard to beat. What a GREAT car! My first Honda and so much fun to drive. Loaded with Deep tinted windows, black leather w nickel trim, sweet. Outside is Polished metal. Really great with Tinted windows. Navigation system is WELL worth the money. It is so powerful and takes you anywhere. Blue tooth was very easy to pair with the car and talking on the phone in the car is great. Everyone hears well and it is a surreal feeling. The car is so cool. I cant say there is anything I dont like about this car.

  • My First Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After several months researching Accord, Camry, and Altima I was very happy that the silver V-6 Accords were in production. At first I was apprehensive about buying a first year model redesign but the auto info was very positive. After 2 weeks on the road and 1,000 miles I am even more pleased with my car than the day I bought it. With all the research I did before the purchase there were no surprises. The response on windy mountain roads is very controlled. I like the variable cylinder management feature where the 4 and 3 cylinder mode kick in when less power is needed. The first trip I got over 28 mpg going up to 70 mph where allowed. Combined city/highway over 22 mpg

  • My new toy - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    simply the best craftsmanship and quality possible. Smooth responsive acceleration,top of the line high quality supple comfy leather seats. 190 hp much improved and better than any in its class. Honda has finally outdone itself this time and created a work of art and a masterpiece of engineering!!
