Do your research. - 2008 Honda Accord
By what? - May 29 - 4:36 pmFirst I am 64" and 235 lbs. I fit in the Coupe comfortably. The seat has to be far back so my head does not hit the ceiling. Leg room is adequate. The interior is nicely equipped and I like the XM radio but not the monthly fee. The exterior is ok and looks pretty sharp in the metallic color. The ride is somewhat rough and very noisy. My Toyota Tacoma truck is quieter than this Honda when traveling at high speed. I drive a Charger at work and the Charger rides nicer and is quieter as well. The 4 cylinder is very slow when you need it to go from a dead stop. Go for the 6 cylinder if you can afford it.

Nice, but with problems - 2008 Honda Accord
By reedner - May 4 - 12:36 amHow did Honda build a bigger Accord with more horsepower and keep the same fuel economy? THEY DIDNT!! The advertised 21 city/31 hwy is way off. Ive put 1000 miles on mine and Im averaging about 19 MPG. Living in Los Angeles I do a lot of city driving, but my previous car (03 Toyota Highlander w/ V6) got the same fuel economy. Not good for a 4 cyl sedan. The ride is also hard. Again, my SUV felt softer. Otherwise the car is comfortable, stylish, spacious and it handles well. The navi, Bluetooth, XM radio features are great. Get this car if you want a stylish family sedan with a good track record. Dont get it if you want good fuel economy & luxury ride.

Reliable? - 2008 Honda Accord
By BH - April 23 - 7:30 amI bought this car because of Hondas reputation of building a reliable car. Unfortunately, with less than 30K miles on the car, the engine malfunction light came on. I took it to the dealership to find out that all of the valve seals in both heads needed to be replaced. According to the dealership, this is the second vehicle (within a 2 week time span) that they have seen with this problem. From the sounds of it, these are not isolated incidents either. I would not recommend purchasing this vehicle.

Sweet! - 2008 Honda Accord
By thetrev68 - March 30 - 11:40 amThe best way to review this car is to compare it my 06 Altima 3.5SL that I traded in. The Altima was faster, had more options, and a better Bose stereo. I still prefer the Accord. Build quality is fantastic. It feels both luxurious and sporty at the same time. Every texture feels upscale. Every button is full of precision and is satisfying to touch. The car steers and drives effortlessly but retains a degree of connectedness to the driving experience. I couldnt be happier with the car.

Good Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By randy - March 10 - 4:16 pmBought this car after having 7 Toyotas. Liked the looks and the value. However there are some issues. There is a white substance that comes through the heater/AC vents on the dash. Dealer has no idea what is causing this. States he will get back to me after talking to the factory, but so far nothing. Also the EX-L 4 cyl. needs power seats on the passenger side. Feels like your riding on the floor. Thought gas mileage would be better. Only getting 23 combined highway/city. My wifes Camry 4 cyl. gets 28 mostly city driving.

Technology Failure - 2008 Honda Accord
By sailor14 - February 20 - 6:06 amI have the new Accord with all the bells and whistles and what a let down! The cellular system can not do what a Ford Focus does these days - automatically synch a phone book on ANY bluetooth phone, voice dial through the car using the phones voice recognition (Ford, BMW, Lexus, all do!) AND who in their right mind created a car that holds data you can not back-up? There is a CR reader, why not CR-RW- or a place for a chip in the dashboard? It has TWO phone books, the nav system and cellular, and they dont even synch! AND to add insult to injury they have a jack for your iPod but again it is a BASIC audio in - no tunes synching (again a Ford basic) and no display on your dashboard.

Beware of Brake Problems!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
By Mike - January 8 - 7:16 pmPurchased the vehicle new and within 2 months I had to replace the front & back rotors and pads. Since then I have had to replace the rear pads every 25K miles.

No sport sedan - 2008 Honda Accord
By Larry - November 21 - 5:40 pmJust picked up this car yesterday and drove it about 150 miles - highway and city. I have been driving a 1990 Acura Legend Sedan, but also recently owned and driven a 2004 Accord V-6 Coupe and 2004 S2000. Moving to Manhattan, we kept the old car and sold the others. I have to say I am disappointed. The Acura STILL was a far sportier driver than this new car, too "Buick" like. It may have stolen its lines from BMW but it does not drive like one - this is NOT a drivers car. BEWARE former Honda owners, this car is now a Toyota Avalon. And you can DEFINITELY feel the engine switch modes.

Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By Don Clark - November 4 - 10:23 pmI have had the car 6 month and taken 2 long distance trips. Overall, the car is great. I have has numerous other Hondas and this one is at the toip of the list. I traded an 05 Acura TL for the gas mileage savings. While the Accord is no Acura it is a close relative in terms of quality and comfort. I am averaging 24-25 MPH in town and get close to 32 on the highway. I miss my Acura, but the Accord is a good substitute.

Quality lacking - 2008 Honda Accord
By pauhum - October 15 - 3:46 pmtoo complicated to figure out all features; a/c fan control inconvenient for driver; road noise; paint on bumpers dont match color of paint on body--evidence of poor quality control!
