  • Brake Issues!!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This car is okay, but the build quality is not what I expected. The spacing between the hood and the quarter panels is wider than my 87 BMW. The chrome-colored plastic on my grill has started to wrinkle. I needed to replace rear brakes first (on an automatic) and I have never used the hand brake. And less than 4000 miles later, my front brakes are squealing. I just took my car to Firestone and they said I had plenty of front pad left and my rotors were fine, but the noise is embarrassing and drives me crazy. I have to turn up my music so that I dont hear it. My remote batteries died very quickly--in less than a year.

  • First week in 2008 Honda - 2008 Honda Accord

    Just completed my first week in my 42 month lease in Honda EXL-V6 and cant be happier! Thanks to Edmunds usual accurate reviews, I chose the Honda over many other cars. Love the interior and exterior look, the V6 is sensational, and getting compliments on the steel metallic color as if its a Lexus or BMW. Last tank of gas got 24 MPG. For the record I test-drove the Lexus350 the BMW 5 series, the infiniti G35 and enjoyed the Honda performance equally for far less money! Edmunds has guided me through a 1997, first year C5 Corvette, a 2002 Infiniti G35 and others, always being on target! I thought that I was downgrading, but5 I love the Honda. Thanks Edmunds.

    This is my first Honda Accord. I fell in love with the look the first time I saw it. Great design.

  • Best car on the road - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my second Honda (first Accord). I love it so far. The V-6 delivers plenty of power and is very smooth. The VCM feature is great, when I see the green ECO light pop up I know that I am saving gas. Great leg room in the back and the seats a very supportive.

  • So Far, Very Satisfied.... - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my 2nd consecutive Honda Accord, after replacing my 1992 Accord Coupe purchased in 1996, due more to size limitations of a growing family than mechanical need. The 92 was the best car Ive owned in 24 years of driving. I test drove several models from Toyota, Honda, Acura, VW and Nissan. The Accord was the best in my book with the Camry running a close 2nd. We wanted a safe, functional, affordable & reliable family 4-door to haul adults and kids for a variety of activities. So far were very satisfied. Safety ratings are very good. Ride, comfort, visibility, braking, steering and acceleration are excellent for a car of its size and price. MPG are decent for this size car.

  • Fits the bill - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was looking for a mid size coupe with style, performance and all season traction capability. I was also looking at a price that would not murder my budget. I found all this with the new for 08 Honda Accord EXL V6 MT Coupe! The car is roomy inside, comfortable, handles and performs great and is fun to drive. I have also received many "thumbs ups" from enthusiastic onlookers.

  • Great Car - The Accord has Grown Up! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I traded in my ultra-reliable 1998 Accord that had 153k miles for the 2008 EX-L 4-cyl. I absolutely love the car! Handles great, awesome fresh interior, lots of cool new features. Ive fueled up once and got about 24 mpg - Not great, but Ive been told it gets better. The engine is a very peppy VTEC - it really kicks in at about 3500 rpms. Very impressed with the 4-cyl. Also, amazing leg space in front AND back seats - the Accord could almost be considered a full size sedan. Honda has done an amazing job with this design. I love it!

  • Cool Car and Best Value - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I got this few days back, fun to drive and great car with great value. I like the color but interior color bit not matching with exterior. Very good fuel economy and lot of space inside.

  • Amazed so far - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought the 2008 Accord 6 days ago, have put 300 miles on it, and so far, all I can say is...nothing! Im so impressed by this car that I am speechless. The handling of the car around turns is amazing, the engine responds with the right amount of "juice" when I need it, plus I get tons of compliments on its looks. I seriously cant count the number of times someone has said, "whend you get the BM-er?" Not to mention, I have already driven it through a snow storm, which ironically was the day I bought the car, and it handled beautifully! I have nothing but praise for the folks at Honda for hitting a home run on the 2008 Accord!
