  • Best Accord Ever - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is the BEST! It is real comfortable, holds the road well, and has great pick up. I purchased a Polished Metal Metallic color with gray leather inside. Since Ive gotten it, I have been stopped by many people asking if it was the new Accord. Some say it looks like an Acura RL, others say that it looks like a BMW. Whatever it looks like I am happy that I purchased it. The feel of driving in the car is great. I look forward to driving trips to the grocery store. The car gives the ride of a much more expensive car. The interior is appointed very nicely.

  • What a Difference - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I traded my 01 v-6 sedan in for the 08 v-6 coupe and its a totally different drive. Im impressed with the performance as well as efficiency gains. The ride is a great balance between handling and comfort.

  • BRAKES!!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Front brakes started rattling at 6000 miles and at 10,000 miles the rear brakes are metal to metal. Honda claims this is by design and it is not covered under warranty and it is not a safety issue hence no recall. I dont want to change rear brakes every few 6 months and this is unacceptable. Will not buy another Accord. Remote stopped working after 15 months.

  • Very disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased my car less than a week ago and am very disappointed. It is beautiful and fun to drive, but first morning I got in, tire pressure light was on and all four tires were low on air. Three days later we noticed the rear center brake lights in center of window and spoiler werent working. Tonight I find that my headlights, brake lights, and interior lights all flicker every 20 seconds when the air conditioner is running. This is an almost $30,000 car with less than 500 miles on it and shouldnt have problems. As beautiful as this car is, I wouldnt recommend buying one.

  • fun car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was very apprehensive about changing from a 4Runner to a car. I had tons of room in my 4Runner, but I needed something that would get better gas mileage w/o giving up power. No question the V6 is so much fun to drive. After research between the Altima coupe and the Accord. The Accord outshines the Altima in safety alone. The slalom tests that were between these two cars I would have never believed that the Accord would hug the road as best as it does. However, I am not a speed demon or a risk taker, but the sway bar is incredible. I love this car and am very happy to leave my 4runner behind.

  • Almost Perfect - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    First Honda and it is no disappointment. Rides and handles very well, goes where you aim it with a very, very smooth transmission. Not what I would call exciting to drive, but very nice to drive. Interior and exterior design is attention getting. More than enough power to do what you need and lots of luxury features. Quality seems to be top notch in general. It is not broken in yet (only had it a week) and it is getting over 27 mpg combined. For me it was the best combination of price, fuel economy, power, handling and styling. Other cars in the class are kind of boring.

  • Blue flash - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is the first Honda Ive owned. What a great car! I had to wait month before they could find 6 seed manual in blue. It was worth the wait! The car is a real head turner. Fit and finish are a1. Performance is outstanding, more like a sports car than a coupe. I thought about a mustang gt but went with Honda because of gas prices reputation. Im not disappointed.

  • Disappointed Buyer - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Purchased car with only 31 miles. Two weeks later car was having a new steering column replaced. A week later rear of car was vibrating when I drive speeds that exceeded 40 miles per hour. Took car back to dealer. Something had to be repaired in truck area to stop vibration. Two months after this car went back to the shop and found that the steering column had to be replace again? WOW by now ready to give car back. Very disappointed in Honda customer service. I have owned several Honda products but this is by far the worst model I have ever owned. Drivers seat not comfortable, the car itself compared to other models of similar class. I rate this car a 2 on a scale of 10!!!!
