  V6 Not Up To Snuff Disappointing Mileage - 2008 Honda Accord
  By BlancaHouston - December 14 - 12:23 am

  In trading in our Chevy Avalanche we had expectations of good fuel economy and an excellent driving experience in buying a fully loaded Accord V6. In reality we have been very disappointed our in city mileage is 16-17 and highway is better at 27.4, this is driving very slow, taking off at stop lights at a snails pace, coasting to the next stop light and putting the cruise control on and running at 30 miles per hr in city. Driving 55 miles per hr between Houston and Austin this slow is very painful, boring to drv,Our Avalanche averaged 15 city with a very comfortable seat and only 20 highway but the vast majority of our driving is in the city not a good trade off. We are trading the Honda

  Think Twice - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Gil - December 9 - 5:23 am

  If you are thinking of buying a 2008 Honda Accord 6 cylinder, I would suggest you think twice and drive it more than just a test drive. The VCM is terrible. I would not buy the car again because of this "feature". The service department told me there was nothing they could do and to go back to sales. The surging (even at times on cruise) is terribly annoying. Otherwise, the car is outstanding.

  Finally Arrived - 2008 Honda Accord
  By nice ride - December 7 - 5:43 pm

  Replaced old reliable 98 accord 5 spd with this car. Have been waiting a good year for it and I am generally pleased. Corners flatter than old Accord, although it seems a little slower, despite the bump in hp. The seats are very firm, but getting used to this. Fit and finish seems very nice so far. The stereo is not great, despite the specs, and I will probably change the rear speakers, which are mediocre. Back seat is expansive, great for three growing kids, one of the real plusses of this car. The stick is very smooth, and this really allows one to appreciate the vtec engine. Mileage so far is the big disappointment, low 20s, old Accord was never below 27mpg.

  Accord Coupe V6 6MT == FUN FUN FUN - 2008 Honda Accord
  By 6MTCoupe08 - December 6 - 2:16 am

  Incredibly fun vehicle to drive. I used to drive an RSX and with my new Accord I dont miss it one bit. Great acceleration, handles turns really well and feels rock solid. Interior is nice. The model came standard with most features that I liked like satellite radio, leather, chrome handles, etc...

  Great Choice for Family & Fun - 2008 Honda Accord
  By eyc51k - December 4 - 6:40 am

  Love the car all around. Comfort is great for my six foot 215 lbs. Stereo rocks. Handles great with solid quick response. Mileage is great considering the size and the power more than enough. Excellent visibility. I drive a 140 miles daily and this car make it a pleasure. My only negative-- I don’t really like the electronic mirror because I have sensitive eyes. I was told by Honda service it can’t be replaced because of wiring harness. I opted for fog lights which are costly, my only extra along with mud flaps.

  Accord is fantastic - 2008 Honda Accord
  By johnboy - November 30 - 9:03 pm

  I have had this car for 2 months and is every thing that i need. Very peppy engine great fuel mileage 28-30 combined. I looked at the Malibu before purchase and the difference was huge. There is a great difference in the engines, gee i wonder why Honda runs 4 cyl in the INDY CARS! I am still trying to figure out the complaints on the road noise, very little that I here. Keep up the great work HONDA This is a great car!

  Probably the best sedan in 2008 - 2008 Honda Accord
  By wizbee - November 30 - 12:13 am

  I owned this car for only a week, but I am pleasantly surprised by its performance and build quality. The 190 HP engine is more than enough power that I needed. I have compared all sedans in this category feature to feature and believe me: none of the others can match Honda Accords price point for the same features. It gives a sporty driving feel and offers a very comfortable Highway ride. Some people complained about noise. But the fact is typical Honda has more overall noise than say a Toyota. But it is quite tolerable. In fact if you turn on your radio, you dont even feel it. I have done comparisons with similarly equipped hybrids, but I still cant justify the cost at even $5 a gallon

  Love my new Accord! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By New Honda Owner! - November 24 - 4:33 am

  I am a long time GM car buyer and last night I purchased my first new Honda (Accord EX-L 4 cyl) and I am just blown away with the quality. So far the car has over exceeded my expectations in every way. I was afraid I would miss my Grand Prix but that is not the case. The 190 HP 4 Cyl is plenty powerful. Very pleased with the new Accord! Way to go Honda!

  Honda Accord EX-L - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Steve - November 22 - 12:16 pm

  Excellent car for this class vehicle. I considered Altima and Camry and have no regrets. Roomy, handles very well, good acceleration for a 4 cylinder automatic. Not a single problem with it yet, and dont expect to have many either. While the mileage is not bad it good be better, but as the acceleration is good for a 4 cylinder its a trade-off. I am sure as gas prices go up cars will be built to get better mileage at the expense of acceleration. This wont be so bad once people trade in their SUVs and start driving less aggressively. Would recommend this car.

  Fourth Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Bluesky - November 17 - 2:46 am

  See my previous review 3-17-08. Only update is after about 5k miles the fuel mileage is less than I had anticipated. It is about 5 mpg less than the 2003 Honda V6 (previously owned)and about 8 mpg less than the 2006 Honda V6 (still own). Had I known what gas prices were going to do I might have opted for a more fuel efficient car.
