  • Great car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have been driving my new Polished Metal Metallic 2008 V6 EXL with Navi and Bluetooth. It all works great. The car looks great and handles really well. The VCM technology seems flawless. Everything is extremely well engineered and designed from the interior to the exterior to the engine compartment, etc. Nothing has been overlooked. Nobody builds cars, suspensions or engines like Honda. I think the controls for the navi, HVAC, awesome sounding radio, etc. are well thought out and intuitive - I do not agree with the criticism.

  • Drivers seat and Handling - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The car is a good value. It has all the bells and whistles of a more expensive Acura:bluetooth, great stereo w/big base and subwoffer, ipod input,attractive interior styling, especially the swooping curves in lower dasboard. Power is good, but I wish the maximum torque would happen at a lower RPM. Seems to handle a little rough at higher speeds, although feels relatively stable. Maybe M&S tires are the problem. Ride is a little bumpy given the stiff (or extra stiff) suspension. I prefer a smoother ride. Drivers seat doesnt lower enough. Feels like your stomach is pushed forward. Sides of upper seat tend to curve your shoulders forward. So, some upper back pain between shoulder blades.

  • Great car; highly recommend it! - 2008 Honda Accord

    I bought this car after testing several other cars in the same class. The EX-L V6 with Navi was by far the best value overall. I have no complaints so far and I have received a lot of positive comments from family and friends.

  • Disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my first Honda and my last. Although it is fun to drive and quality seems ok, the leather seats are very uncomfortable, especially on a long drive. The sound system is terrible on the highway because of road noise. No compass except when nav is on. Mileage is as advertised. I am starting to look for a replacement.

    Have approximately 500 miles so far. No problems. Handles great, good mileage, and wonderful ride. Stereo sounds is excellent. XM is a real plus. Dont particularly like the daytime running lights. Would like to turn them off. However understand they are a safety item. Center instrument panel hard to read in bright daylight Was looking at new Nissan Coupe also, but purchased Honda because of larger interior.

  • Overall pretty nice - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Originally intended to buy an Altima but after that dealership was lame went to drive the Accord and I was sold. Its a nice, basic car and Im pleased with the vehicle over all. Rides well and the features are nice. The only complaint I would have was that w/ my 6cyl Passport I was getting 21 mpg like clockwork and w/ this 4cyl Accord Im getting 25.5 Something doesnt seem right with that. However, overall Im happy with the car.

  • Best of the rest in its category - 2008 Honda Accord

    My family could not be more pleased with our new Honda Accord. The Accord has looks, comfort, great ride and reliability. What more could we ask for?

  • An Acura Rl at Half the Price - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is an awsome car! In reality it is an Acura RL in 2 wheel drive instead of 4 wheel in the Acura RL at half the price. The performance is incredible! With 268 hp it should be. Gas mileage is great for a vehicle with this type of performance. The looks are georgeous. It has 5 star ratings in front crash, side crash and roll over. Plenty of room for 5 inside. There is no better car for the money IMHO

  • Wonderful Sedan - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    190hp 4cyl vtec has good smooth power for a 4 cyl. revs up there with no complaints. The steering is pretty tight but different in a way if youre used to more road feel it leans more toward isolation IMHO... but good . The interior is tight and well put together. Im already used to the "buttony" radio /ac controls... look, its not that bad, everything is reachable with one hand like typing! The looks of the car "grew" on me . I like it a lot now. I guess I was expecting the new 08 Accord to look dressed up ordinary but it looks classy and sleek to me. I love the way it handles, it has 17 inchers on it - Michelin 225s. Road noise not an issue with me, its acceptable.

  • Traded it for a Toyota 4-Runner - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The car is well equipped but its a very noisy drive, especially when traveling on the interstates. The car was designed with a very low ground clearance which causes the undercarrige scrape when going up inclines.
