  new accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By yinka - July 9 - 10:36 pm

  Picked up an EX-L with nav. Much improved interior over older models. People complain about the center console but it becomes simpler each day. Very smooth drive with more power than the new altima 2.5s which i tested out

  By Jas - July 5 - 10:36 pm

  Hondas got it right! Didnt care much for my 2002 Honda, was going for a Camry till I read reviews by unsatisfied owners on this Edmunds site. Got the Honda and love it. Great looks, great pickup. Bye Bye Camry (I had a good one before my 2002 Honda). Ill stay with Honda as long as they make cars as good as this 2008. Get one...youll like it. Gosh, Honda ought to pay me for this!

  Lovin it!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Tony - June 29 - 7:10 pm

  I just purchased my Polished Metal EX- L yesterday. Honda did a really nice job with this Accord. Acceleration is very quick for a 4 cylinder. The steering feel and handling of the car is athletic. The interior is great. The seats are supportive and the materials are great. Exterior styling, in my opinion is very attractive. Reminds me of a cross between an Acura RL and a BMW 5 series. I showed the car to a friend of mine and he commented that it was almost like a luxury car inside. He owns a BMW.

  Wow - 2008 Honda Accord
  By tarheel03 - June 25 - 6:13 am

  I purchased an 08 EX coupe a couple of weeks ago. It has been great. The car has great response and power for a 4 I really cant say enough about it. It came down to the Accord vs. Altima for me. The Altima coupe was a lot smaller and with its CVT you couldnt really enjoy driving if you know what I mean. The Accord coupe seems more next gen to me as well. I have been stopped with people telling me it looks like a BMW 6 series from the side. I didnt really like the back but it has grown on me. If I could improve anything it would probably be the audio system, and I even got the upgraded audio. They need to talk to BOSE or Infinity to partner with them for the sound systems.

  2nd Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Caleb Hall - June 21 - 11:56 pm

  This is my 2nd accord. I am changing from a 04 Maxima. It has excellent gas mileage drove from PHX to San on a half a gas of tank. Feels very light and responsive love the ability to be more agile. Ive gotten a lot of compliments even for just being a Accord. Have had no problems with blinking headlights.

  1st Time Honda Buyer So Far, So Good - 2008 Honda Accord
  By DammitJim - June 14 - 11:56 am

  I had been in GM truck leases for over 7 years, and was coming to the end of my 2005 Z71 Tahoe lease. Although I loved the Tahoe, I cringed every time I filled it up. I test drove the 2008 EX-L V6 coupe and love the handling and looks of the car, and entered into a 3- yr lease deal. So far, I am a definite fan, though I feel there areas that can be improved. Fuel economy is excellent on the highway, about 26-28 mph. Combined driving is in the low 20s. The VCM definitely helps the mileage - it was very noticeable when it activated in the beginning, but is barely detectable now, except for the dash indicator. At highway speeds, the interior remains quiet, with little to no wind or road noise.

  Make Room! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By !!!!!!!!!!! - June 9 - 4:56 pm

  Pros: extremely comfortable, more power than camry, lots of space, good fuel economy, and mean looking Cons: i would get the V-6 model, but it has VCM which causes engine problems This car is the bomb! The dashboard is designed like Acura. It has all the features you can get on a Lexus, BMW, or a Mercedes-Benz. The Accord handles way better than a BMW . Available XM radio too!. The speakers are very good and the seven inch subwoofer is great. Theres no point of getting a 7-series or an S-class or an LS. Accord has it all! I sold my 2007 Camry for the Accord. I paid more for the accord, but its worth it.

  This is a great car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Miguel - June 9 - 5:20 am

  The re-designed exterior is great- looking. I see older Accords on the road and they look boxy and nondescript. The 08 is a beauty, especially in the deep burgundy. The interior is fantastic. Big and spacious, with a ton of high-end features (on the model I got) like Navigation, heated seats, XM, dual climate control (automatic too), auto- dimming rear view mirror, 6-CD stereo, nice leather, etc. Riding in this car feels very similar to riding in cars that cost $15k more. The ride is great too. I dont know why some folks bemoan the VCM shifting between 6, 4, and 3 cylinders. I dont notice a thing. It is very smooth and seamless. I really like this car a lot.

  Great Car!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Joe - May 28 - 7:26 pm

  This is a smooth car. I previously owned a 98 Avalon, and found the seats more comfortable than the Honda. The seats in the Honda are more firm. I found the Accord to handle better than the Camry. I test drove them back to back. I commute 25 miles to work, 90% highway, and average 24 to 27mpg depending how I drive. I recently drove 300 miles one way with my wife and 2 kids. The trunk was packed full of luggage. The cruise was set at 70 mph and got 31.3 mpg. I did not do as well on the way back because of Wisconsin cold weather and wind, but averaged 28 mpg over 600 miles including 50 miles driving around Milwaukee. The VCM works best with no hills, and I find it to be nearly seamless.
