  • 2008 Honda Accord LX - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned this car for only a few days. Had a 1999 Honda Accord LX that got totaled so needed a new car. What a great car. So roomy on the inside, nice size trunk and great Honda quality that we all come to expect. I am very pleased with this car and purchased it over Nissan Altima and Hyundai Sonata. The base model has all the features one could want at a minimum in the car, keyless entry, daytime running lights, 6 airbags, power windows/door locks, steering wheel controls for cruise control and audio system. Also the automatic maintanence reminder is a great plus for this car.

  • Six Weeks and Love It More! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After six weeks and 1100 miles I love this car more than when I purchased it. Please note that the EXL models are much more fun than the non-EXL and the V-6 with navigation is downright fun. I thought the non-EXL and the 4cyl, were a bit boring and actually felt like a Buick. Sorry, if you purchased one, just my opinion. I love the EXL-V6 with the navigation package. It is really worth the extra money. Fuel economy is not great, but not terrible. Drivers door is too far out at the top to serve as a left arm rest, becomes a problem on longer trips. Seats are a bit too firm for me. Some days the ride is excellent and others the bumps are felt right to the spine!

  • My First Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned many north American cars and several vws. Some were fun to drive but none of them was immune to requiring several ongoing repairs. Nearing retirement and after listening to many honda owners, I bought one. Have to say the comfort, look, design and how it drives is first rate. We wanted three things, heated seats and mirrors and an easy to get out of back seat for some aging friends. Back seat comfort and entry/exit are great. Very pleased and would buy another.

  • Best car I ever owned - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Best car I ever owned, fun to drive and handles really nice around corners. Really quiet at all speeds and Honda quality.

  • Almost what I expected. - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle thinking that I was going to get a solid, well-built car. For the most part I did with the exception of noisy, squeaky brakes and rattling behind the back speakers. The car drives great and gets better gas mileage than my 2000 Lincoln LS V8. I did take a 3 hour trip in it and my back started hurting 2 hours in. Im only 22! Dealership experience has been pleasant and the car has a great sound system. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It looks great, handles well, and gets good gas mileage. I avg about 25 mpg.

  • Disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was very disappointed when I purchased the new 2008 Accord after owning a 97 Honda Accord LX for 10 years (purchased new) with very few problems. I currently have about 3700 miles on my new car and have had numerous problems with it. The transmission whines in low gears, the headlights flicker while driving, the visor lights do not work, and gas mileage is on average about 25 (all my driving is on the highway). I cannot describe how disappointed I am with this new car. When taken to the dealer for service, they tell me most of the problems are normal. Normal? What happened to Honda quality? I should have purchased the Toyota Camry SE.

  • The worst car I ever bought - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car for 19,500 (including taxes and fees) on the road (2008 accord LX 5AT). So make sure you get the best bargain. Dont buy this car if you dont have to. I test drove Toyota Camry also. That is not any better - lack of power. The drive feels like I am driving a U- Haul truck. I just hate this car.

  • The perfect family car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    When my wife totaled our Mazda6 Wagon I was sure wed replace it with a new Honda CRV. But after seeing the new Accord in the flesh it was too good to pass up. It was bigger, got better MPG, still offered a stickshift, and was cheaper. Even our "base" LX has all the amenities, all the safety items we demanded, and a ton of passenger space. The exterior, which looked so odd in pictures, is quite appealing in person. We got the black cloth interior and the polished metal exterior. It handles flatly in corners yet doesnt punish you with a harsh ride. The shifter is typical Honda-perfect. With a set of snow tires its handling VT winter like a champ.

  • Great Buy - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Driver seat could be more comfortable however, but I love everything about it. Gas mileage is above average. Mine is black, and just looks awesome.
