  • No probs here - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have almost 19,000 miles on my car (got it Apr 2008) and I have had none of the problems mentioned on here. My brakes are fine. I do use the parking brake often as I also heard that it aligns your brakes properly as another poster mentioned. The leather seat is not the most comfortable, but not bad. I drove from Chicago to Cleveland with no stops and I was fine (I am 63"). I got 29+ mpg on that trip, so I dont know what Edmunds is saying that they cant re-create the 29 mpg highway number. I average around 26-27 mpg (mostly highway). Acceleration not the most responsive, but once you drive it for awhile you know how to get it going.

  • Test drive at night time! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I am really disappointed in my vehicle. The outside is gorgeous, but that isnt what matters. The blinking headlights at night are extremely dangerous. It causes my eyes to get out of focus for a moment and get strained. It happens around every 20 seconds. It brings on my migraines because the lights flash so frequently. Many times people have flashed their brights on me because they think Im flashing mine at them. At first the Gas mileage was very poor but has really improved. The road noise is terrible. The car feels like it is shifting to often and jerks the car in an annoying way off and on. Not worth the money. Really take some time and dont rush into purchasing this car.

    Started looking at sedans after a Pilot Ive had for 3 years. Wanted something with better handling and gas mileage. I also drove the Camry but they did not offer a higher-output 4 cylinder than the Accord. The EX has a tighter suspension and handling feel than the Camry. Overall a terrific car, one I hope to keep for 5+ years.

    I wanted to get a nice sedan with a standard shift. The Accord EX-L 5- speed fit the bill. I enjoy driving the car each and every day (even to work). The 4 cylinder engine is just right for quick acceleration and highway cruising. I get 25 MPG in mixed driving and 31 MPG on the highway. The ownership experience has been excellent. Dealer service is done with a smile.

    I have had this car for almost three weeks now and I still love it. I test drove a Camry and Altima, as well. Although the Altima has the Accord beat on styling, the Accord is the better value and will hold its value throughout the years better than the Altima. The Camry seemed a little too much like an old ladys car! I love almost everything about this car other than the fuel economy. I was expecting better than 25 MPG. That was the main reason we traded off our SUV. I hope that it gets better as the car ages.

    Great car with a lot of pep! Have owned a Camry before, just switched from large SUV. Very roomy inside and the throttle response is quick! Got all features available minus nav only 10 min from work. Black with black leather with chrome trim, wing and tint just pops and looks super sharp! (HID option would be nice)

    I have found the Honda Accord to be an awesome car. I have never owned a Honda before, but really have found it to be great. The room inside the car is outstanding. I am 6 ft 7in tall and have plenty of room. My family of 5 can comfortably ride in this car.

    I purchased this car based on past experiences with Honda. After almost 5,000 miles, I have no complaints. Gas mileage is around 22-23 in town and 29-30 on the highway. The longest trip was 500 miles and the car was a pleasure to drive the entire time. Im 62" and have plenty of room.

  • A Little disappointing - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Purchased my Accord in November 07. I have put aprox 2000 miles on it. Traded 06 Accord. I love the appearance of the car from the outside, and it has a much bigger feel to it, ride is a little stiff but smooth, engine is very responsive, however gas mileage is diappointing getting 5 mpg less then 06 Accord. Interior is nice but not as comfortable as past Accords and feels a little cheap. Biggest disappointment is the audio system, stereo reception is terrible, rear speakers are AWFUL. Honda you should be ashamed, expected better from a 24K automobile. What is the deal with no coin holder? This is my 3rd Accord probably my least favorite. Lots of room for improvement here.

  • This Ones the Fun Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I had been looking seriously at getting a slightly-used (2005) 3-Series BMW for my next car. I wanted a nice, sporty every-day driver for under $30K. When my wife and I stopped by the Honda dealer to look at an SUV for her, I saw that they had an 08 blue Accord coupe V6, 6MT. Im not a fan of the previous Accord coupes, but when I took the 08 for a test drive, I was quite impressed with the nice balance of handling, ride and, of course, the power of that V6 coupled with the manual tranny. After doing some comparison test-drives of other brands, I came back to that 6spd Accord coupe. Honda now has a real mid-size "drivers car."
