  Another Honda, another great car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By wronskain - April 10 - 6:30 am

  This is my 5th Honda and my second Accord. My previous Accord was a 2004 6cyl coupe and I loved it. Traded it for a new 2006 Civic sedan (as we had our firrst child) with navigation and I enjoyed that car as well. I love the new size and the body shape of the 08. The interior is well thought out (like all Hondas) and the new non-touchscreen nav took a couple of days to get the hang of (the Civic had touch screen interface) but now I prefer it. Audio system is fantastic (get the subwoofer). VCM is completely transparent. I never hesitate recommending a Honda.

  My First Month - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Bruce - April 10 - 1:23 am

  This is my first Honda and my first new car. Im coming from driving a 12 year- old Camry. Everything I read about the Accord was that it is louder, road noise-wise, than the Camry. Thats an understatement. I figured that going from a 96 Camry to an 08 Accord Id have a quieter car, but I was wrong. Ive read that you can get tires that are quieter, so eventually I may do that. But for now, Ill just turn up the stereo. The car is fun to drive on back roads and cruises smoothly on the highways. It feels solid and I feel safe in it.

  Nice 08 Accord - One glitch noticed - 2008 Honda Accord
  By SR45 - April 6 - 5:36 am

  Very nice looking car inside and out. Nav system top rated by me and the console is very well laid out. One major glitch on this new car is the new constant rattle noise noticed towards the right rear passager area during cooler weather only (possible weld issue in the strut tower). Very noticeable and giving me a real pain. Dealership noticed rattle as well, but unable to try a fix until some clips are ordered first to replace those that are removed from the trunk area. Seems this car is too new to have these clips on hand for the trunk liner. Ride is good, smooth, and the gas mileage is around 33 mpg highway, but very low around 18 city.

  Simply Superb - 2008 Honda Accord
  By ankith - April 5 - 1:26 pm

  This is my third Honda and its just superb. With a V6 and nearly 270hp on the engine, its ready to race with any other on the road. VCM works out nice for better mileage. Awesome interior with great comfort.great accelaration. Great interior features. It puts out power no sooner you stomp on the accelerator unlike a few other other cars which think for a while before responding. No regret in buying this beautiful car.

  2008 Accord headlight Issue - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Gerry - April 4 - 10:56 am

  The 2008 Honda Accord Sedan EXL Navi is a great daytime driving car. You can relax and drive for hours and still feel refreshed at the end of the trip. Night driving can be dangerous though. The headlights flicker every 16 seconds, making the drive stressful and tiresome. This flickering makes it harder to focus on the obstacle head. Its important to note that this problem is common on all 2008 Honda Accords. The instrumentation is not user friendly at first but once you learn how to use the basic voice commands it becomes acceptable. Its also a good conversation subject. The Accords interior look and feel great. Lots of room and very comfortable.

  My First New Car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Tim - April 1 - 3:30 pm

  Only getting 15 mph city driving & 20 mph overall on 1/2 highway-1/2 city driving using very conservative driving habits! Fuel economy not good for a 4 cylinder engine built by a firm advertising itself as "the most fuel efficient automaker in the world." 190 hp engine has plenty of power when you need it to accelerate onto the highway. Steering is very precise with only about 2 turns of the wheel lock-to- lock. Has great ride/handling balance- not too firm yet not too soft-so you dont sacrifice the ride to get good handling. Autotransmission upshifts/downshifts smoothly. Cloth front seats big & comfortable. Three people easily fit in back seat. Love the sunroof. Do not notice road noise.

  Best Value - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Cliff - March 28 - 10:06 am

  Formerly owned BMW 3 Series, Infiniti FX and most recently 2006 Passat. After driving the new BMW 3, Lexus ES 350 and other more expensive sedans, decided on the Accord. From a value standpoint I could not justify spending $10+K more on other comparably equipped sedans. The Accord does everything well. Yes, the lux sedans are a bit quieter at highway speeds, but overall none can justify such a steep premium over the Accord. For the money this is without question the best value and can certainly be considered a "near luxury" model in its new 2008 configuration.

  Best Honda Ive Owned - 2008 Honda Accord
  By gary ca - March 24 - 4:33 pm

  My family has had over 30 hondas since the 70s. Replace a battery, replace timing chain at 60k plus, everything else is great. The 08 Accord I believe is the best of the lot. Read various reviews and Im surprised. No problem with quality, performance, etc. Got 30 mpg, with a/c off at 70 mph. Average 24-26 daily. Ride is superior, comfortable seats, radio excellent. Dont have navi, Ill buy a portable unit. Very surprised at comments relating to reliability and service problems, never had such problem with any of the hondas weve owned. Remember, when you sell this vehicle youll always get top price...

  Best Value - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Tim - March 24 - 4:43 am

  My first Honda, and I love it. The car achieves a nice balance between sportiness and comfort. Not as smooth as my Toyota and not as sporty as my old Passat, this car represents a nice middle point. The car is very roomy inside. The back seat is huge. Body styling is vastly improved. The sound system is terrific. The Handsfree link has been great for business trips. The navigation system is sophisticated and comes with a trip computer. The car has ample power, but the gas mileage has been disappointing. Im getting about 17 MPG in city driving and 27 on the highway. The car has been terrific in the snow, a nice plus. A terrific value.

  Almost Fun to Drive - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Almost perfect - March 23 - 4:13 pm

  Having put on 178,000 miles on my 02 exl v6 accord, thought it was time to retire old Betsy, and break down to buy another. Purchased the EXL, 4cyl from a Honda dealership on Marysville OH, about 1 mile from the plant. Been reading the reviews and taken several test drives, so I knew exactly what I wanted. The 6 cyl was most attractive, but the 4 (190 hp) has enough. In fact about the same as my 02 v6. Overall, great car, a few bugs, but for the price, about as close as you can get. Smooth, quick, nimble, and quiet. Road noise is minimal, but these are Hondas, not Toyotas. Steering is excellent, and so far, on the 2nd tank of gas, I have about 315 miles, and the needle is just a under half
