Large car comfort with stick shift mpg - 2008 Honda Accord
By Mike L - August 3 - 1:43 amBought the 2008 Accord EX-L 5M after waiting 2 months for 2009 Sonata SE 5M (Hyundai would not confirm delivery). Im getting 33-34 mpg after 800 miles of ~80% highway driving (60-65 mph). This car has plenty of acceleration for my driving style. I hope to get better mileage on extended highway trips. I think the mileage would be even better with a 6-speed stick shift to drop the tachometer from ~2300 rpm to <2000 rpm at 60 mph.

Had to have one - 2008 Honda Accord
By RoyalMc - July 16 - 11:30 amThis is my first Honda, and I love it. The 190 hp 4cyl is much more responsive than the 177 hp. The tranny is also geared differently, as well as improved exhaust flow, and suspension over the LX(P). Torque and HP builds from Mid RPMs & up. I am averaging 28 MPG 50% highway, not broken in yet. It does have more road noise than I would expect, but other than that the car handles very well, and is fun to drive. At first the seats seemed stiffer than Id like, but after making a 2 1/2 hour trip, It felt very comfortable once I got the seat and lumbar adjusted to my liking. I really like the overall appearance silver/gray, especially with the wing spoiler and tinted windows.

90,000 Miles - 2008 Honda Accord
By JS - July 13 - 9:20 pmJust turned 90K and still pleased. 2nd set of tires 3 weeks ago. If purchasing tires, buy same speed rating as original. 90% interstate driving is returning 32-34 MPG. Oil change by Maintenance Minder averaging 10K intervals. No issues and will probably drive to 200K. Brake pads front and rear once to date.

Overall a big plus with a few nits - 2008 Honda Accord
By Ed C. - July 8 - 11:23 pmReading the reviews has me puzzled; either people love the car or hate it. Honda always made cars that were more sporty than American cars and Camry. Had a 1994 Honda Accord with almost 120,000 miles on it and will miss it. Overall the car is great: more room, more power, just as sporty as always (firm seats/ride).

Counting down to trade-in - 2008 Honda Accord
By Salesguy - June 26 - 3:03 amThis car is full of annoyances. Front seats are very uncomfortable. V6 VCM is a joke, 270HP feel more like 200, fuel economy is terrible and I can feel the car hesitate every time the VCM turns cylinders on/off. "Premium" stereo sounds mediocre at best, the average rental car has a better sounding system. Squeaks and rattles near the rear deck, sunroof, center console, passenger seat. Driver door exterior handle sticks. Constant road noise. No memory seats, no trip computer, can only display outside temp with trip odometer. Not what I would have expected from the EX-L. This will be my last Honda.

Stepped up Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
By honda lover - June 22 - 12:26 pmI love this new Honda. The larger body style is very roomy inside. The outside redesign is very slick. This car is everything every Honda lover wants plus more. The stepped power of the 4cylinder gives the car the smoothness of a v6 drive. Highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a great value car that will last a lifetime.

Never buy a honda, NEVER!!!!!!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
By James - June 19 - 11:20 pmI have always been a gm person, but I gave Honda a try, which was a gigantic mistake. It wouldnt even start on the second day, it had Major airbag problems and transmission problems. The build quality is also terrible, the front fender fell off at 4,500 miles (I didnt even go over any bumps) I need my car for work driving on the highway, and this Honda has broken down on me twice while cruising at 65 mph. This all happened in about a 5 month period, I ended filing a lemon law suit, got my money back and bought a better car since the end of February, Ive been driving a new Chevy impala ls (base model) and it has not given me a single problem please, if your buying a car, dont buy a Honda!

Rear Brake, Road Noise, Remote Control - 2008 Honda Accord
By nj2004 - June 18 - 12:10 amNeed to replace rear brakes @28k miles. Road noise got worse after replacing the rear brakes. Remote control didnt work after 18 months. Far short of what I have expected from Honda. I have owned a Pilot for nearly 6 years. No problems at all for Pilot.
