  Very good car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By buckaroo1234 - December 17 - 4:53 am

  Bought new. After 30,100 miles have 50% left on front and rear brakes and 40% left on original tires. Tires are rotated every spring. Note that i am easy on the car. Trouble with the power seat track on drivers side which has been fixed. Slight rattle with glove box...thats it. I have had two new v6 Hondas since 1999 and have found them to be very reliable. I cannot speak about the 4 cylinder brakes, or OEM tires. You take care of the car and it will take care of you. Brake hard and late and drive race car style and expect to replace the parts faster.

  Should Be Better - 2008 Honda Accord
  By CKW - December 8 - 2:36 pm

  Compared to the 00 LX-V6-A4 and 03 EX- I4-M5, the LXP-I4-A5 is not as quiet or smooth riding. I would rate the new LXP being very good overall instead of excellent. Even though the chassis is supposed to more rigid, LXP makes loud popping/cracking sound when going over bumps, especially when car is cold. Lean back hard on the driver seat back would occasionally result in a cheap spring popping noise. Even after 3,000 miles, I feel a strong downshift deceleration during first cold shift from 1st to 2nd gear. Stepping trans selector from park through 1-2-D seemed to help eliminate this harsh shift. Hood failed to latch completely on first day home. Need to get trunk lid hinge squeaks fixed.

  Good machine with uncomfortable seats - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Robert R. Thompson - November 19 - 3:43 pm

  My 08 Accord EXL-V6 has been reliable over the past 6 months with only a few minor rattles which were fixed by dealer(loose fog lights). Still enjoy interior and exterior styling as well as overall performance and handling. However, long-distance comfort(over 2 hours) is poor due to hard, narrow and deeply-bucketed seats combined with a very taut suspension which transmits even minor road imperfections through the whole vehicle. The seat contour creates uncomfortable pressure points which quickly become tiring and downright painful.

  a/c-heater rattle - 2008 Honda Accord
  By sewh - November 9 - 11:06 am

  Had the car a year. Great gas mileage for a v-6. Terrible rattle in a/c- heater area, sounds like a Ping-Pong ball bouncing around inside when a/c is on. Noticed it a couple months after buying & after several trips to dealer, they duplicated noise and replaced heater sub-assembly. Noise went away, until couple weeks ago and its back. Very annoying. Hoping to hear from someone experiencing same problem - looking for help.

  Fun to drive, but uncomfortable!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Jesse - October 25 - 11:23 pm

  I like my Accord very much, but had I known the drivers seat was so uncomfortable I would have never bought it. Its really hard to tell when you take a car for a 10 minute test drive, but now that I own it, I cant drive for more than an hour without back pain (Im only 26!). And forget the so called "lumbar support". Youd be better off putting a brick behind your back (whats in that seat, iron?). Overall, I have no other complaints about the car. I did have one experience during a winter snowstorm when the check engine light came on. Took it to the shop and by that time, it was already off and they couldnt find anything wrong with it. Fun to drive, stylish, etc.

  Disappointing - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Ian - October 21 - 12:10 am

  This is my 1st Honda. I have been disappointed with some aspects of the car. 1.) Hwy fuel economy was a boasted 42 mpg. I have eked out 35.5 mpg with a tail wind, egg shell under the throttle, not exceeding 100 km/h. You start driving with a heavy foot and the hwy numbers fall into the 27-28 mpg range. 2.) No shiftronic/manumatic mode. This is a nice feature for sporty driving and saving wear and tear on your brakes, Honda does not offer it on the 08 Accord. I had a 2007 Altima V6 for a few months and it was faster, more fun to drive and smoother than the Accord. 3.) no cargo nets in the trunk? 4.) A/C stopped working due to Puron leak other minor quality problems need work.

  Brake Problem - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Charlie G - October 10 - 11:26 am

  16,800 miles mostly highway and I needed rear brakes. Honda says its normal wear and tear. I dont think so. Appears I am not the only one with these issues.

  A few little quirks - 2008 Honda Accord
  By George m - September 29 - 3:53 am

  I have certainly enjoyed driving my new Accord coupe. The few areas where I have been a little disappointed is in the fuel economy. I have been babying the gas pedal for the first 1000 miles, but Im still averaging about 21-22 mpg. Some of that is likely atributed to warming the car up for about 4 to 5 minutes on cold mornings. Also, about 60% of my driving is on local roads. However, my old Audi A4(4cyl turbo) would average 26-27mpg driving the same routes (but driving a bit more agressively). My cd changer also makes some noise every few minutes as if its changing cds (even when the audio system is turned off). My overall experience is possitive, but I expected a little better.

  Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Angela - August 10 - 2:40 am

  I just traded in my 2007 Jeep GC, for this car. I love it so much, it was a great purchase. The car is getting great gas mileage (28 mpg) even though I have only been driving it 2 weeks. I expect it to break in about 3 months. I find that the features of the car are super nice for a low-end model. Daytime running lights, rain sensing wipers, Text display radio w/MP3, steering wheel controls, AUX input. Most of these I did not even get on my $30K Jeep. Maybe i am used to driving a 6-cyl, but this car is fast from 0-60 for just a 4-cyl. Great speed in 2nd and 3rd gear. Only downside so far was the wheels. I plan to buy some nice rims in the spring.
