  • Niiiice. - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Traded in a gas guzzling, and mechanically challenged Dodge Nitro! (had to get that off my chest) Got my Accord first week of May, never liked the old generation Accords, but this 2008 model is a welcome site. First things first: Quality: I love the way the Accord feels mechanically, and fit and finish is top grade. Performance: 190 hp 2.4 L engine has plenty of pep on highways. I havent calculated yet, but seems to do well on very well on gas, and the steering is nice & tight! Chrysler, needs to hire Hondas engineer!(my opinion) Transmission is smooth, and I love that. Its a fun car to operate.

  • Dont Believe the Negativity - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have read the reviews. I have nothing bad to say about my car. I bought the Red Coupe 24 hours ago and I have already put 150 miles on it. I read the negativity, I have not any of those issues thus far. There is no noise when driving. There are no blind spots, just use your side mirrors correctly. The plug for my iPhone is in a great place. This is my fourth Honda and my first Accord. I had my last 1993 Honda Civic for 11 years. I was just ready for a upgrade and it was good to me until the last few years. Follow the instructions on how to buy a new car. It really help me get my car only $500 over invoice and 4.9% interest rate. I came in already financed, so I came with buying power.

  • Only 1 week and I love it! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Had been curious about the 08 since it came out; have been driving my wifes old 4Runner and wanted something with better fuel economy & smoother ride. My other option was a Jetta but after test drive this won hands down with the bang for the buck. I previously had a 01 Acura CL Type- S and the ride is similar; interior design not all that much different than the TL and on the EX-L you get most of the same options; plus the added roominess in the 08 helps w/ a family. Was able to get a Polished Metal w/ Gray interior right off the truck.

  • Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have had the car for 3 days and I am still on the first tank. It is very nice to burn about 9 Gallons and still have half a tank after driving 260 miles. Posted mileage ratings are for those who have a heavy right foot. I have the full boat load, V6 EX-L, 6 Speed, Navi so on. This is my first Honda and I will be getting another. Honda nailed it on the head and it can only get better from here. This car is worth every penny of the 30K asking price.

  • Excellent car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I recently returned my 2006 SE accord lease and this time bought a 2008 Accord. I have to say that they rally made a lot of changes, the new car is more powerful, smoother and quieter drive, lots of more options for the money, I make 30.5 mpg on hwy when not running the AC and about 28-29 when running the AC. I really like this car, all the options in the EX for 23500 out of the door..!

  • Sporty coupe that holds it own - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased a 2008 Accord coupe automatic in EX trim a couple days ago and am quite satisfied. The styling is incredible, it is put together well, rides/handles well, is pretty quiet, and overall seems very solid. The steering is excellent, provides good feedback and this car is fun to drive (although may be more fun with a manual transmission). I traded in a 2003 Accord LX sedan and must say- the 2008 Accord with the 190 horsepower engine is a nice improvement. I would definitely reccomend the Accord 2 door to anyone looking for a sporty car that will be virtually flawless in reliability, and retain a good portion of its value down the road.

  • 08 Accord EX-L V-6 Review - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    As a former owner of a BMW 325 and and X5 I was skeptical that the new Accord would have much to offer particularly when my wifes 05 and sister-in-laws 07 Accords were to me, fairly boring. I was not overly impressed with the early photos I saw of this vehicle online either. However, once I was in the V6 version (the 4 is a dog) that all changed. It looks sharp, seems much larger than it looks, is quick, and handles like a dream. It is right on par with my old 325. I passed on the nav system as it is no longer a touch screen and is far more difficult to use than last years version. Very solid build. Richer interior than past Accords. Little road noise even with 17 inch wheels.

  • 2008 Honda Accord EXL Coupe V6 - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Love this car! Loaded, except the GPS. Great power, great ride, and pretty good fuel mileage (I average 25 between city and freeway, and usually set the cruise on 80). When I go on highway trips I usually get around 28. Great sound system, huge trunk, and plenty of backseat room even for those 6 feet tall! Only complaints I have is the road noise, which is a little louder than I would like, especially in rainy weather (of course my previous car was an Audi A4), and of course it doesnt handle near as well in the snow/ice. Would I buy it again? YES!

  • WHAT A CAR! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    A smooth ride and great handling car. The car has a 268 hp engine which provides plenty of power for passing and yet the car gets 31 to 33 mpg the interior of the car is well laid out and the controls and gauges are easy to read and handle the fit and finish of the car is flawless a well built car the exterior design is smooth and flowing well done without excessive curves and as usual the Honda reliability remains its strong point I love driving this car I hate to get out of it at days end this is the first Honda Ive purchased ill never drive anything other than a Honda again

  • Buy it !!!!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Accord sedan Lx-P (cyl.) 5speed auto I went to test drive the 2008 civic EX . They didnt have it in black the salesman suggested the Accord they met my offer. I test the car and was very impressed with the looks and the 4cyl was adequate since gas mileage was very important to me.other car was Accura TL/Lincoln LS V8. I expected a little better gas mileage avg, approx 26 mpg. not bad on 70% highway driving and 30% city.1100 miles now . I would highly recommend to friends
