  • Rear brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Car rides great, good fuel mileage. My only complaint is about the rear brakes. Twice I had to replace them. The dealership service dept. Said that the rears wear out faster than the fronts. HOGWASH. Load is in the front not back. Real bad brake design pads are small. (front brakes still have lots of wear on them). WHATS UP!

  • 3rd Day - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I traded in my 2004 Infiniti G-35 coupe because it was a lemon - Ill never buy Nissan again. I have heard about Hondas and Toyotas lasting forever so I settled on the Accord Coupe - as the Solara is unappealing. I have to tell you, in driving the Accord, the only big difference in driving experience so far is the report from the G35s exhaust, a barely noticed difference in takeoff speed, the 35 weighs more, but had +2 hp, and slightly more torque - but is helped by Nissans tuning, + it is rear wheel drive. I do miss the auto- stick a lot, but it was a small trade off +s for the Honda: more for the money: leather, sunroof, 87 OCTANE, Michelins, ipod support, warranty and service costs

  • Nice as a BMW 3 Series - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I just purchased my 2008 Honda Accord V6 this past weekend. As a previous BMW owner i was extremely impressed with Hondas finished product. The new Accord shares some design cues with BMW on the sides, trunk, and front headlights. The fit and finish are top- notch, and the performance is good as well. I dont think im going to miss my BMW.

  • Best in its class again - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have been driving my 2008 Accord V6 for a year now. I previously had an 05 Accord Coupe V6. Suspension is improved significantly almost matching German cars as well as the overall drive quality in the new Accord. Much better handling and solid feel on the road. However I have few complaints about the interior. Although the dash looks really high tech, quality of the material used is not even matching my 05 Accord coupe. Some of the buttons make a cracky noise when pushed. It is the same for aluminum looking trim on door handles. These make the same kind of noise when door is pulled also look cheap. Manuel mode is a must on transmission. Still at this pricepoint, Accord is a great deal.

  • You will love this car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I drove Camrys, Maximas, Altimas, and Saabs and this car is far and away the number one choice. It is loaded with so many things that make driving fun and it is retails at a reasonable price. The color choices are incredible and the car is a real head turner. In the past, I have owned some top of the line cars but this is quickly becoming my favorite. I feel this is the sleeper in 2008 and cant figure out why I dont see more of these. People who know cars will always comment favorably about the car.

  • 2008 Honda Accord Coupe Black Beauty - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This car is just plain "Awesome." I traded a 2003 G35 Coupe for this vehicle. I had some reservations about unloading my dream car, but it was well worth the trade. With the voice activated navigational system makes it even more of a luxury car than a sport vehicle. The handling, horsepower and smooth lines inside make it a dream to drive. Not a bad vehicle after all and we worth the investment. This vehicle turns head when driving down the highway and I am proud to be behind the wheel. Great Car!

  • Satisfied - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased a new Accord about one month ago. I have put close to 2000 miles on it so far. The gas mileage has been as advertised, hitting 32 mpg on the highway when driving at 65 MPH. I believe I have found the best of both worlds with engine-response, and decent fuel efficiency. This car is stylish and very comfortable to drive. I previously drove a 99 Avalon which is still going strong at 170K miles. I hope to have this one that long as well.

  • Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car a week ago and have not yet had to fill the tank. I live in Chicago and drive downtown and back 2 times a week for school and am getting great mileage. I have not yet experienced the problem with the headlights at night or the loudness of the engine (I can hardly hear it). I used to drive a Civic and absolutely love the step up. The interior is huge and the exterior is super sleek. Love it!

  • Why not an accord! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my first Honda, it wont be my last either. It was clearly a decision made on quality and reliability. Honda screams that clearly. My decision has been 110% correct that I bought the perfect car under 30k.

  • A really great family sedan - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    An extremely comfortable and capable sedan. I went for comfort over performance to fit it in my budget so the EX-L with the 4 cyl engine. I dont miss the V6. More than enough power for getting on the highway and passing when needed. Plenty of room in the front seat for my large frame and plenty of room behind me for a 6 foot son to sit. The black leather seats feel a bit hot on the back in the warm weather but otherwise no complaints about the interior. The exterior is handsome and gets positive comments and the Accord no longer looks like a generic sedan. Im getting 25-26 mpg mostly highway. I am not known to drive slowly so I am pleased with the mileage.
