  • First Honda... Impressed! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    First let me say that this is my first Honda and I am very, very impressed! After narrowing a search down to the Accord and the Camry, this by far was the best choice. The interior design and the performance of the V6 are the highlights. The interior room is plentiful... this coming from someone who went down in size from a Pacifica to a sedan. The navigation system is the best Ive ever seen in a car. Almost the entire interior of the car can be controlled by voice commands such as temp., radio volume, navigation, etc. All in all a home run hit by Honda in my book.

  • Overall Good Buy - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Driven about 2500 miles so far. Very Stable on the highway. Really have to step on it in the city, as it is a heavy car. It feels safe though. Handling is not as quick as you would want it due to its weight. Mileage is decent around 24-27. I enjoy driving it everyday. Few problems the inside door handle holder is loose. It pops out when you pull the door handle. Also if you have the dealer installed tire pressure tire valve caps, take them off as some of them were leaking air from the tires and this car already has tire pressure monitoring so you dont need it. I wish the lower gears would change faster and not rev so much all the time. I also wish they had heated mirrors with LX-S.

  • As Close To Perfection As Possible - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was shopping for a nice fuel efficient midsize and looked at Camry, Altima, and Accord. The super-large 08 Accord was a no-brainer. It seems to be inspired by the $53k Acura RL w/its massive size and well placed and engineered controls. I cant think of a single bad thing to say about this car. It handles excellent, has a rump shaken sound system, plenty of power even from its I-4 and looks to die for. This car is worth every penny and more.

  • Totaled 2008 Honda Accord, replaced w/same - 2008 Honda Accord

    I purchased my first 2008 Honda Accord on 11/20/2012 with 75,246 miles on it all told for $12,379 On 10/19/17 I was rear ended by a GMC Sierra Pickup truck doing about 40 mph !! I was also pushed into the Honda Ridgeline in front of me causing extensive front end damage (airbags did not deploy and I had all 3 recalls on them fixed ??). However, I really liked this Model and thinking that I wouldnt get much from the other drivers insurance company so I searched for used 2008 Honda Accord to replace it. I found one close by and found that it was the Fully loaded version of my previous car. I received a check from insurance to replace the car for $10,035 .. I was amazed !! I purchased the used fully loaded version with 144,500 miles for $9,500 (Totaled car had 182,000 miles). Im happily driving my new / used 2008 Honda Accord EX-L with all the extras and less mileage. When I researched the value on Kelly Blue book and Edmunds the replacement value showed on $5000 in excellent shape ??

  • Buyers Remorse? - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Traded in my Oddysey for better gas mileage and more comfort. So far not super impressed with gas mileage, and comfort, well lets just say my dealership just ordered a new seat cushion for me today. I feel like somehow a Civic LX seat ended up in my loaded Accord. I drive 50k plus miles a year, and am not sure if I will make it even 6 months if they cannot solve this problem and soon. Comfort is my only real complaint. I am 61" tall, 210lbs...not overly large. Seat feels like it cuts into my left leg on long trips. I highly recommend driving this car more than down the street before spending this kind of money! Other features are wonderful. Gas mileage will surely improve, hopefully.

  • Love it - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I just bought my Accord 2 weeks ago and am very happy with my decision. This is my 4th Accord and was considering the switch to the Acura TL. I decided I wanted one more coupe and am glad I did. I got the EX-L in Belize Blue and opted for all the extras: spoiler, fog lights, mud flaps, and tinted windows. This car looks great! The interior is very similar to that of the TL, but for about $7k less. I traded my 04 EX-L for this one, yet there a few things I miss like the electro-illuminescent gauges. My biggest fear is that of the other drivers and the amount of door dings I always get on my cars and this car doesnt seem much stronger. The passenger seat rattles, but other than that..nice car

  • Questioning Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was so happy when I first got my new accord. Soon after I bought it, I started experiencing some issues. First my remote didnt want to work most of the time. Then even when I didnt press on the gas it would start gassing while I was in park. Then I had to replace my rear brake pads. I have kept up with my service but when I start the car it makes a rattling noise. I owned a 94 Honda accord before this and I was never disappointed. Wondering if I should just trade the car in to protect my family.

  • Gorgeous car, wish for better seats - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Bought this car cert. 7 mo old with 13.5K miles, under $20K. For that price this is a fantastic luxurious coupe.There are trade offs that I have no problems with, my mileage after two tanks with mostly city driving is 21 but acceleration is very good, smooth, ride a little firm but enjoy the handling. I rode two hours home from the dealer and my back was sore for days. Have an old back injury. My thighs are lifted too high in the air. Feels like I am sitting in a bucket. A memory foam wedge pillow has made a world of difference. Compared to my Infiniti G20, this car feels huge. Comes with normal coupe blind spots. It is 6" wider and 13" longer than G20.

    Traded in a a 2007 6 Cyl. SUV, wanted something with better gas mileage and something that had good resale value. Used edmunds and the dealership came in $800 under invoice. Not sure what invoice even means anymore. At first they said they couldnt go any lower than $75 over invoice but as I was about to walk away from the deal they lowered it.
