  Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By abe - October 12 - 2:06 am

  Ive owned Honda for the last 20 years, but this is the cheapest quality Honda out there. Inside you see six different style cheap plastic which feels like they found from junk yard. This car has excessive road noise appears to have no insulation to cut cost. The chief engineer should be fired!

  A pleasant surprise - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Peter Gorshe - September 30 - 3:46 pm

  I have driven Hondas for many years because of their quality and reliability. Yet the 2008 was even better than I thought it would be. I especially like the performance, stability and comfort. I find the criticism of the dashboard controls to be unfounded. The controls are convenient and they make sense. The car is very responsive and drives well in all road conditions. I was able to get 33 MPG on a recent trip. Interior is very roomy and comfortable. All displays are very easy to read. The only negative is that it doesnt have an outside temperature reading, which I really miss. A great car and a great value.

  Design Flaws - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Virginia - September 29 - 7:26 pm

  This car is beautiful on the outside but it leaves a lot to be desired once you take it on the road. The road noise is extremely load and when you turn up the radio to drown out the noise it makes it impossible to carry on a conversation. The ground clearance of the car is so low that it constantly scrapes underneath the car when going up inclines such as your own drive way. Honda will not and cannot do anything to eliminate these problems. Honda is not receptive to feedback, so my only option is to purchase another vehicle other than a Honda. I did give Honda a try based on their reputation, but that was in my case a mistake. I will never buy another Honda automobile again.

  My problem is the $1000.00 maintenance requirement (not covered by the warrantee) at 100,000 miles. Something about a timing belt. Other than that it has been a great car.

  2008 Honda Accorda, automatic trans. - 2008 Honda Accord
  By JC - September 22 - 8:14 am

  My car is used daily. Serviced at regular intervals. I have the 2.4 litre four cylinder engine. As a realtor, most of my business is conducted within the local county I reside in. Ive read many negative reviews regarding the brake wear. My rear brake pads have been replaced at 36,000 mile intervals. This may be due to the small size of the brake pad design. The front brake pads are original and now have 93,000+ miles. There are blind spots to sides, so caution entering highways and changing lanes. Small after market mirrors are avilable to help. A very reliable and economical car. As with any car, preventative maintenance is important. "Be kind to your car and your car will be kind to you". I recommend the Honda Accord. Fuel economy 22-24 mpg local/33-35 mpg hwy.

  DO NOT BUY A HONDA ACCORD! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By K - September 19 - 1:26 pm

  I bought my 2008 Honda Accord fully expecting the car to live up to Hondas legendary reputation for quality. Unfortunately my rear brakes started to fail after only 18000 miles of normal city and highway driving! I brought the car back to the dealer which replaced the pads for free, but only after I complained after they said brakes "wear differently for different people." Apparently Honda thinks their customers are idiots. I strongly discourage anyone from buying an Accord.

  So Far, So Good - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Vcaserta - September 15 - 3:36 am

  Bought my EX-L V-6 Coupe on 2/1/08 and then had to take a road trip. The interior is plenty spacious and once I mastered all the controls and settings, they were easy enough to operate. This is replacing a very nice 05 Altima SE V-6 sedan, which had a lot of space I didnt use. The Hondas steering is much nice than the Altima, the turning radius is much smaller. Handling is excellent; body roll almost imperceptible, braking nice and stout, acceleration strong and steady. The trunk is more than sufficient for duffel bags, groceries, etc, although I wish I had the optional cargo net as things do slide around a lot. I have had several people ask me what kind of car it is already!

  Glad I made this choice - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Vcaser - September 4 - 9:26 am

  I have this car in Nighthawk Black Pearl and it turns heads everywhere. People tend to think its a Lexus for some reason and are shocked to learn its an Accord. The fit and finish are wonderful, its obvious a lot of thought went into it. Its a "large" small car, too. My friends say the ride in the back is not bad at all.

  Almost Excellent - 1,200 Mile Review - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Ndmand - September 4 - 1:10 am

  This 2008 EXL V6 is my sixth Accord. I had planned to get the 3 series BMW, but the Accord is a better value. The car is much larger inside. I dont like the dash/radio assembly, but the interior has a luxury look. The major problem is the horrible road noise. The stereo shop will charge me $600 for sound deadening. Acceleration is mediocre. Idle isnt as smooth as my other Accords. I hear a knock occasionally after it starts, but Honda cant replicate the problem. Mileage over three tanks has been 25.43 (mixed): 25.03 (mostly city); and 26.0 (highway). You dont get a trip computer unless you spend several thousand on the NAVI. Fix the road noise and this car becomes really good.

  Pretty Sweet - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Merv - August 30 - 7:03 am

  I traded in my 01 Acura CLS and thought I might be moving down a notch. Other than a less powerful and somewhat noisier engine, the Honda is about as nice (a lot less money too). The styling of both the Accord and Altima coupe got my attention, but this car gives you more for the money. My experience with the dealership was positive as well.
