Second Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
By Honda Family - October 26 - 10:23 pmThis is the second Accord Ive owned and it wont be the last. This one replaced a 2002 Accord EX 4cyl 4A with over 140,000 miles on it that I gave to my daughter. I really liked the 02 and I really love the 08. The bigger size has taken some getting used to, but the additional horsepower compared to the 02 and the performance are like night and day. This car seems to have much more "giddy up" than the 02. I was tempted to go for the V6, but I drive 42 miles one way to work and we have an 07 Odyssey with the variable cylinder management system and unless youre on long highway runs it doesnt get the gas mileage Honda claims. Im getting 26.5 MPG with the factory oil still in it.

Sweet Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By Nomad - October 20 - 9:50 amThe EX 6 has a quiet ride with great response from its powerful engine. Handling is impressive for a large vehicle, not much body lean. Controls in the center console feel cluttered until becoming fimiliar. The audio sound is very dissappointing in the EX. Fit and finish is excellent. Road view front, side, and rear are very good. Braking has been very good but havent tested it on wet pavement. Overall this is a great car.

Very Nice Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By Marlinman - October 18 - 9:33 pmI just purchased my EX 4 days ago and all I can say is it is a gorgeous car. I did my homework and test drove many cars including the Nissan Altima 2.5S and Toyota Camry SE and LE. First off the paint finish on the silver Accord was by far the best. The interior design was much nicer. The Altima had the best transmission and extras like intelligent key but the dashboard was ugly and the paint seemed thin and had bigger blind spots. The Camry was a close second but I really liked the Accords look better I got the Accord for $600 under invoice with the help of edmunds.com. The Accord has a distinct tightness when driving and a solid resale value. A+++++

Awful Seat Design! - 2008 Honda Accord
By marvelous2 - September 25 - 7:30 pmI just traded this car after owning it for a few months! It cost me thousands of dollars to get rid of it, but the seats gave me and my wife back pain after 20 minutes of driving! No one, the dealer or American Honda, would help me. Take a long test drive before buying this car. Wish I had! Buyer beware!

Great Ride but Rear Brakes a Problem - 2008 Honda Accord
By delgado39 - September 13 - 4:13 amOver the past 15 years our family has owned 7 Honda Accords. They have all held up well with "routine" maintenance being the primary cost of repair. My 2008 Honda Accord EX is a pleasure to drive. Certainly a lot bigger than my 2004 but still a nice & sporty driving experience. The exterior styling was a winner for me. Overall comfort for me is above average (but I think I have the right body type). Only failing so far is the Rear Brake pads prematurely wearing at 22,000. Did not expect it!! So I got them replaced and called Honda to file a compliant. Thats why my reliability rating is lower.

Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By Rich - September 6 - 6:56 pmWhat can I say? Its a Honda. The American car builders should have been shadowing these guys 15 years ago. Ive never felt so secure and safe in a relatively small car. I bought the V6 for the extra sprint power which makes the car safer, but knocks down the MPG to 24 or so.

We Should Have Kept Our SUV - 2008 Honda Accord
By Ivan769 - September 1 - 6:40 amOur 2008 Accord is very disappointing, our in town mileage is 14.3 hwy 25.4 @60 mile per hr>> after 3500 miles. Our Avalanche in town was 14.1 not a good trade off we drive slow and coast to stoplight,shift into neutral or turn off engine this is not a good driving experience. Engine performance lacks punch after 60, head rest are poor design, lacks driver seat memory rear seat a/c, radio system is marginal compared to Bose, Seats are hard and small for a large person. Numerous rattles cannot be fixed by Katy Honda, seat track broke and cannot drive for 2 weeks, VCM shudders and stays on, outside temp gauge stays at 87 degrees, map light will blind driver at night, loud road noise at hwy spd

Very impressive car - 2008 Honda Accord
By 4262 - July 30 - 7:40 amI came from a loaded Chevy Tahoe to the Accord. This is my second Honda and I am impressed by it. I bought it with splash guards and rear wing spoiler installed. The first 1/2 tank of gas yielded 25 mpg (city & hwy). Gas mileage is still getting better though. Hopefully Ill be able to consistently stay in the high 20s. It sure beats the 15.5mpg I was getting with my Tahoe. Build quality is excellent and everything is intuitive. Sure there are a lot of buttons at first but you learn to focus on what you want to change and it becomes easier with time. I dont even have to look at them much anymore, I just know which area to go to in order to change functions. Very happy with it!
