  • 2008 Honda Accord LX - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned this car for only a few days. Had a 1999 Honda Accord LX that got totaled so needed a new car. What a great car. So roomy on the inside, nice size trunk and great Honda quality that we all come to expect. I am very pleased with this car and purchased it over Nissan Altima and Hyundai Sonata. The base model has all the features one could want at a minimum in the car, keyless entry, daytime running lights, 6 airbags, power windows/door locks, steering wheel controls for cruise control and audio system. Also the automatic maintanence reminder is a great plus for this car.

  • Six Weeks and Love It More! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After six weeks and 1100 miles I love this car more than when I purchased it. Please note that the EXL models are much more fun than the non-EXL and the V-6 with navigation is downright fun. I thought the non-EXL and the 4cyl, were a bit boring and actually felt like a Buick. Sorry, if you purchased one, just my opinion. I love the EXL-V6 with the navigation package. It is really worth the extra money. Fuel economy is not great, but not terrible. Drivers door is too far out at the top to serve as a left arm rest, becomes a problem on longer trips. Seats are a bit too firm for me. Some days the ride is excellent and others the bumps are felt right to the spine!

  • My First Honda - 2008 Honda Accord

    I have owned many north American cars and several vws. Some were fun to drive but none of them was immune to requiring several ongoing repairs. Nearing retirement and after listening to many honda owners, I bought one. Have to say the comfort, look, design and how it drives is first rate. We wanted three things, heated seats and mirrors and an easy to get out of back seat for some aging friends. Back seat comfort and entry/exit are great. Very pleased and would buy another.

  • The perfect family car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    When my wife totaled our Mazda6 Wagon I was sure wed replace it with a new Honda CRV. But after seeing the new Accord in the flesh it was too good to pass up. It was bigger, got better MPG, still offered a stickshift, and was cheaper. Even our "base" LX has all the amenities, all the safety items we demanded, and a ton of passenger space. The exterior, which looked so odd in pictures, is quite appealing in person. We got the black cloth interior and the polished metal exterior. It handles flatly in corners yet doesnt punish you with a harsh ride. The shifter is typical Honda-perfect. With a set of snow tires its handling VT winter like a champ.

    Driver seat could be more comfortable however, but I love everything about it. Gas mileage is above average. Mine is black, and just looks awesome.

  • So far so Good - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive always owned Hondas from the days of the hatch back civic to now this 08 accord.I am pleased with everything so far. My car is taffeta white and i wish there was another interior color option other than ivory! other than that the accord looks good drives good and has met and exceeded my expectations so far!

  • Another Honda, another great car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my 5th Honda and my second Accord. My previous Accord was a 2004 6cyl coupe and I loved it. Traded it for a new 2006 Civic sedan (as we had our firrst child) with navigation and I enjoyed that car as well. I love the new size and the body shape of the 08. The interior is well thought out (like all Hondas) and the new non-touchscreen nav took a couple of days to get the hang of (the Civic had touch screen interface) but now I prefer it. Audio system is fantastic (get the subwoofer). VCM is completely transparent. I never hesitate recommending a Honda.

  • Simply Superb - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my third Honda and its just superb. With a V6 and nearly 270hp on the engine, its ready to race with any other on the road. VCM works out nice for better mileage. Awesome interior with great comfort.great accelaration. Great interior features. It puts out power no sooner you stomp on the accelerator unlike a few other other cars which think for a while before responding. No regret in buying this beautiful car.

  • My First New Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Only getting 15 mph city driving & 20 mph overall on 1/2 highway-1/2 city driving using very conservative driving habits! Fuel economy not good for a 4 cylinder engine built by a firm advertising itself as "the most fuel efficient automaker in the world." 190 hp engine has plenty of power when you need it to accelerate onto the highway. Steering is very precise with only about 2 turns of the wheel lock-to- lock. Has great ride/handling balance- not too firm yet not too soft-so you dont sacrifice the ride to get good handling. Autotransmission upshifts/downshifts smoothly. Cloth front seats big & comfortable. Three people easily fit in back seat. Love the sunroof. Do not notice road noise.

  • Best Honda Ive Owned - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    My family has had over 30 hondas since the 70s. Replace a battery, replace timing chain at 60k plus, everything else is great. The 08 Accord I believe is the best of the lot. Read various reviews and Im surprised. No problem with quality, performance, etc. Got 30 mpg, with a/c off at 70 mph. Average 24-26 daily. Ride is superior, comfortable seats, radio excellent. Dont have navi, Ill buy a portable unit. Very surprised at comments relating to reliability and service problems, never had such problem with any of the hondas weve owned. Remember, when you sell this vehicle youll always get top price...
