  • Awesome car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Went into the dealer to buy a Pilot and walked out with this beauty. This is my 5th Honda and by far the best. Honda has outdone itself on styling and performance. The car is as big and roomy inside as my old Acura Rl, handles better and gets better gas mileage.If you consider buying one get the V6. Worth every penny and not much difference in fuel economy. No issues with the car. Own a 07 GTI and had to bring it to the dealer for 4 separate issues with 3500 miles. Never had this with a Honda. Very roomy and comfortable even with 5 adults. Excellent value for the money

    The styling is not perfect, but this car has style (even if you hate it). The interior finish is acceptable for the price range and durable. I dislike the number of buttons on the center console, but find them well-placed and logical. Im 6 and find the front seats to be very comfortable. I dislike pleaded leather; it looks great, but tends to crease. The wire throttle is incredibly responsive, the brakes predictable and the auto transmission is flawless. The 4cyl. engine feels much more powerful than in the 08 Camry and I find the shift points to be more appropriate. Handling is sporty, not racy, but much more responsive than the Camry. I bought mine below MSRP

    Third Honda Accord. Very happy with 2008 changes. Front seats much more comfortable. Like exterior touches that makes it look classier. Rides great as all Hondas. Enjoying the pearl white instead of the chalk white. Comfortable, good in snow, easy to drive... great.

  • Made a great car even better - 2008 Honda Accord

    This is our 3rd Honda Accord in the past 4 years along out of the 5 total that we have owned. It is a well built car that runs smooth and gets great gas mileage.

  • This is the one to beat! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The new Accord is the real deal. The steering is silky. The seats are very comfortable and I love the cloth.(I never owned a car w/o leather). My wife was surprised by the new body style when I brought it home. She said it looked very expensive. I got 26.5 MPG on the 1st tank of gas. Overall, this is the best car on the market in its class!

    Bought my Accord back in May of 2008. So far I get 28-29 MPG in mixed driving. The interior quality is OK, my 1999 Accord EX had a better comfort level on the seats. The dashboard is very well lit, but the stereo system is horrible, it seems to have too much bass when set at zero. Road noise is also bad, my Accord does not have a noise damper on the hood like my old Accord had. Whenever the car is cold, the brakes always make noise, after it has warmed up, it goes away. For some reason, when I use the windshield defroster, I hear the Air conditioner motor on (Dont think thats normal at all). As with other threads Ive read, yes, the Accord should come with a semi auto and projector lights.

  • Serious Brake Problem - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Rotor problems at 3,000 miles, replaced front pads and turned front rotors . At 10,000 miles had to replace rear pads, at 18000 miles had to replace the front rotors, the rear rotors had to be turned and the rear pads had to be replaced. At 23000, had to replace the front rotors and rear rotors. Honda installed a re-designed and upgraded spring loaded brake pad on both the front and rear, that is supposed to correct the problem. Well see. Come on Honda, Fix the problem once and for all.COMPLAIN LOUDLY TO HONDA PEOPLE

  • What a Bummer! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned Accords for 12 years, and I was SOOOO excited about the 2008. Only a few months later, I had issues with dash noises (still not fixed after four tries), and at 20,000 miles, the rear brake pads needed to be replaced. According to the service department, this will continue indefinitely (at 300.00 dollars a pop, it isnt a cheap prospect). We also had transmission issues that the dealer "couldnt duplicate". It was choppy and noisy. We recently sold the car for a Ford Fusion. We wanted to ditch it before it isnt worth anything at all. Honda refused to fix the problem with the brakes, couldnt hear tranny probs and after 4 tries stopped dash rattle with fuzzy black tape.

  • Not The Honda You Loved - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Overweight - 3600 pounds, lots of road noise, and the combined performance of the VCM and the grade logic automatic transmission mke this a miserable driver. Real world economy is down compared to last years models. All in all very disappointing - and I have owned 14 Honda/Acura products since 1981.

    This is my first experience purchasing a honda. I am very impressed with the vehicle. The exterior looks very simular to the BMW body. Very spacious, outstanding features. Smooth ride. I am sold on Honda.
