    Just got my new Accord EX-l V-6 and love it. Cannot detect any VCM operation which others have reported.

  • Fly the Coupe - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I gave my 2000 Accord Coupe to my daughter with 196,000 on it and with only 200 miles on the 08 Coupe and I love it. Its the first car I bought sight unseen and no test drive. I knew I was going to get it when Honda first previewd the concept at the Detroit show in Jan. I was a bit apprehensive wrt the VCM and the new polished metal metalic color. The color is awesome looking good in all light environments, but especially at night. Im surprised how much the VCM kicks in. I know I can milk mileage with my driving style and requirements. Going from 200 hp & 16" whells to 268 hp and 18" wheels is a huge difference in handling. Cockpit/Cabin looks great at night. Looking forward to it.

    I was initially looking at the Mazda 6, but when I got into the new Accord I couldnt get back into the Mazda. This car responds right away when you tell it what to do. The ride is comfortable and relatively quiet. The looks are excellent. People didnt think much of it when I said I was getting the new Accord until they saw it.

    Ive owned a 94 Accord for 14 years and am very pleased with the makeover that Honda finally did with this model. This is comfortable, fun to drive and very quiet. I only wish it would have a better gas mileage with this 4 cylinder engine however Im hoping it will improve after its broken in. Im currently getting just 20 miles per gallon with half city and half freeway driving.

  • Blown Away!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After months of research on this and other sites & countless test drives, I decided on the 08 Accord Coupe. Im absolutely thrilled with my decision! The fit & finish would lead you to believe youre in top of the line luxury car. Definitely a head-turner, I get looks from BMW, Acura, & Lexus drivers all the time; maybe they realize they paid $10k more than they had to for a top-notch car. For people complaining about low fuel economy, are you red-lining it at every stop light or something? I drive aggressively and still get 25 MPG city. The 31 MPG hwy rating is right-on, last 2 trips I got right at 31.4 MPG. Take care of it, drive it right, and it will take care of you (& your wallet)!

    The first 1,500 miles have been a lot of fun. I am very pleased with the cornering and superb handling of this car. Initially the dashboard controls were a little intimidating, but it doesnt take long to get comfortable with them. Everything is placed perfectly. Voice commands are logical and easy to remember. Ive been averaging 28 mpg per tank since about 1,000 miles. No problems. Glad I made the right choice.

  • 2008 Accord Still a Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    We leased two 2006 Accords, and we kept one and traded one for a 2008 Accord. all three of these cars were 4 cylinder models. The 2008 model acceleration from standing start is about the same as the 2006. However, the 08 has better high speed acceleration. The gas mileage on the highway is about the same for both models. We average between 31 and 34 on highway trips with both cars. Local mileage with the 08 has been about 24 mpg, and about 25 mpg with the 06s that weve leased. The 08 is more comfortable and handles quite a bit better than the very good experience we had with the 06s. All three of these recent Accords have been totally satisfactory cars.

  • My First Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned this coupe for 2 months now, and overall I am happy with the purchase. Definitely different than driving an Expedition. Gas mileage at first wasnt great but having reached 2500 miles, it seemed to go up dramatically in city driving. 17 mpg average to 20.7 mpg average. Hwy avg. mpg is 26, but havent gone out of town lately, it may be more. VCM/ECO did surge a lot when I first bought it, now just does it ever so often, usually only when accelerating from a low speed. Ride is great, power is awesome.

  • Havent had a Honda in Years - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I am a self confessed car junkie. Have wasted many thousands trading cars too often. Have had new Acura RL, Acura TL, MBZ E55, BMW M3, Chrysler 300 SRT8, Infiniti M45 and most recently a BMW 550 w/sport pkg. I just got my Accord a few days ago and I honestly have to say it is an excellent car. Great fit and finish, tons of bells and whistles and its a great value for the money.

  • Hooked for Life! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my fourth car and first Honda. I have always wanted one and I am definitely not disappointed! The gas mileage is great. I averaged 31.8 MPG after my first fill-up. One can not beat that for this type and size car! I can now see why Honda owners love their vehicles so much. Once you own one you will never want to go back!
