  Love This Car! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By karen - November 14 - 8:33 pm

  I ordered this coupe in October and it arrived 2 weeks ago. From the moment I pulled out of the dealers lot...wow...excellent power and pickup. Even thought the roads had some ice on them I just kept driving. Cornering is excellent, handles better than the BMW 328xi I was considering (too expensive with expensive repairs).Stablity control is apparent, shift is smooth although the gear box is small, as compared to the SUVs I was used to driving. Brakes are sensitive and feel secure, no drift, but occ steering torque is apparent with some up shifting.

  Honda Accord, why drive a Bimmer? - 2008 Honda Accord
  By volvo hater - November 13 - 4:23 am

  I previously owned a Volvo and I was tempted to buy a 5 series BMW, but like my Volvo, I put on the brakes because I am still recovering from poor, costly and unnecessary repairs by three separate Volvo dealer service departments). Then, one day, I saw the new Accord on a parking lot and I said wow. Past Honda Accords have never appealed to me. I went to a dealer, sat in a bold beige leather EXL and bought it. I did not even test drive the car. So, I got a good looking car, Honda reliability at half a BMW price. I know a lot of people that are on second and third Hondas, so I am hoping that my car ownership experience leads me to become a loyal Honda owner too.

  Rattle Box with Poor Mileage - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Glenn - October 22 - 9:33 pm

  I bought this car for two reasons: 1) Ive owned four Hondas previously and all were great. 2) This car looks sharp. This car rattles on the dash, passenger side, and rear deck. I brought this back to the dealer twice, but they couldnt help me. Honda of America is a big letdown on this one. I had to drive around with the glove box open to stop the squeaking since it was sitting in wrong. After the dealer couldnt fix things, I decided to fix it myself by breaking the weld on the latch, moving it then re-welding it myself. Glove box no longer squeaks but it masked about three or four other rattles from various locations. Time for me to call it quits and get a better car.

  My second Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By John Culver - October 15 - 10:20 pm

  The 4 cyl. coupe is fun to drive, steers exactly where you aim it. The engine has very good pick up, especially from a start, and outstanding passing power from 30 mph up, gets 25 mpg. But the suspension is stiff, the car does not sway in tight turns, but you feel every bump. The interior is really noisy unless the road surface is smooth. The drivers seat is nice but restrictive, holds you in one place. The tilt steering lock is stiff and hard to set, sometimes it takes two hands to lock it in place. The radio sounds great, the air conditioning is excellent and the brakes are really positive. Overall a really nice car.

  Pretty decent llittle car. - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Mujhunter - October 10 - 11:43 pm

  I have had the car for nearly six months now and overall I am pretty satisfied with my purchase. The two door coupe is very comfortable and roomy and draws plenty of attention. The seats are decent, the interior design is excellent IMO as well as the exterior design, and thus far it has been extremely reliable. The build quality could be a tad bit better (less wind noise), but its not horrible. I looked at a ton of cars before this purchase many of which were entry level luxury sedans costing 5-10k dollars more and could not justify buying any of them over the accord. You get a lot of car loaded with options for the money. I paid 26k for mine before tt&l.

  Good car so far - 2008 Honda Accord
  By sydney - October 10 - 2:26 pm

  Overall very good car so far. Had it for a few days and no complaints. I had qualms about the exterior but its growing on me. I was thinking about getting the 2009 acura tsx but opted for the 08 accord because it was more roomier, family friendly, used regular fuel, and cost several thousand less. Biggest plus I think is the roominess of the interior and the trunk. Fits a full sized stroller with plenty of room left.

  Honda Accord Scores - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Larry S. - October 10 - 12:13 pm

  The 2008 Accord EX-L V6 is refined styling both inside and out. The first thing I noticed is the firm leather seats and busy dashboard. I managed to program in some XM stations on the ride home from the dealership. Pick up is great from stop or merging on the highway at 60 mph. Navigation is not intuitive but does accept voice prompts. I have had to spend some time reading through the navigation owners manual to help get a handle on it. To my great surprise the automatic mileage calculator has me at 24 mpg in town. The Accord has a very european feel on the inside which reminds me of the BMW 3 series. Extra perks such as tire pressure monitoring and heated seats are great.

  A Dream To Drive except for mileage - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Minnesota Honda - September 30 - 4:26 pm

  This is my sixth Honda and my fifth new EX-L. I had a 2003 EX-L 4 cylinder so that got a consistent 28-30 mpg in town and over 35mpg on the highway. I drove from Minneapolis to Chicago and still had a titch under a quarter tank of gas left. The 2008 is getting anywhere from 18 to 23 mpg in town (a big difference at $3 per gallon) but Im still seeing about 31 mpg on the highway. The reason? Simple physics. The car is heavier and theres 30 more horses to feed. Still, I think Honda should have considered MPG efficiency although I am a bit spoiled by the 2003. The 2008 is a work of art. Driving is magnificent. The trade-off is a bit lower mileage but still better than most out there.

  Be careful - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Thomas - September 30 - 8:20 am

  I only bought this Honda because I heard so many good things about the car. Honestly I did not have any mechanical problems with the vehicle. My opinion about it refers to fun of driving - which does not exist.The car has poor soundproofing, the engine sounds like "a washing machine in the spinning mode". This car does not give me a "sound and a feel" of the car that I am used to. Mileage - also not impressive - all I can get is about 24mpg, far from the 32 mpg you see on the window sticker. I will sell this car very soon.

  Quality with reservations - 2008 Honda Accord
  By WoWo - September 18 - 12:10 am

  My initial drive of this new model surprised me and I purchased it vs the Camry or Altima. I spend 3 hrs a day commuting and the car has been a little disappointing - there is hesitation when I try to accelerate; interior seat bolsters are to high and rub each time we get in and out - will wear out quickly. In cold weather the multiple piece dash layout rattles and creaks for 40 minutes until the interior warms up. Cubic ft of trunk is large but odd interior shape prevents effective use for large luggage pieces. Wipers and window wash are recessed below defroster line and freeze in place with defroster on. This new model is quieter than the old Accord and it does handle well.
