  • Fantastic Value! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The value of this vehicle is great. To pay under $30,000 and get a vehicle that looks and feels like a $50,000 is right up my alley. The redesign pushed this car up a level as far as Im concerned. I had a 2005 Accord EX and loved it but my new 2008 Accord EXL blows that car our of the water. It feels safe, performs well, looks fantastic and gets decent gas mileage for its size. I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone looking for an upscale sedan but cant afford to spend $40,000 - $50,000.

  • Made a believer out of me - 2008 Honda Accord

    I was not intially interested in looking at the 08 Honda Accord. The previous models were boring both aestically and performance wise. This model has totally changed my view of the Accord. People come up to me and ask what kind of car it is and if its a European car.

  • Overall a nice car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Leased in Feb 2008 as a replacement to a Pilot, which had poor gas mileage. I do miss the carry and load capacity of the Pilot, but the Accord gets decent gas mileage by comparison (about 24 MPG combined, around 28 MPG hwy). The 4 cylinder is plenty powerful for me. Cant beat the price I got ($3300 down, $159/mo) for a 3 year/12,000 mile per year lease. Being on the West Coast I was able to pick between Accords made in the U.S. and one made in Japan, and chose the JHM VIN number. So far no problems, ride is smooth, a bit loud on rough roads. This is my 10th Honda, and I continue to be a Honda fan.

  • Awesome ride - 2008 Honda Accord

    Awesome car, couldnt be happier with my purchase. Gets great gas mileage, I mostly drive city and I am currently receiving 25.5 mpg. Have the car a short time and have received many complements. Would buy this car over and over again!

    follow up to earlier posting. Have the car 20 days now. About 350 miles mainly stop and go driving to and from work Put gas in the other day for the first time and averaged about 21.7 MPG not bad for breaking the car in and for the first 318 miles on the car. I expect it will go up. Otherwise love the car.

  • Honda Again - 2008 Honda Accord

    Handling is excellent. Fuel economy is about what I had with my previous V-6. I hoped for a little better. The performance of the engine is very smooth.

  • Gas Complaints? - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Lots of the reviews are complaining about the MPG - it states clearly at Honda that the 4 cyl only gets 2 MPG better than the 6cyl, which is why I went with the 6cyl. If I need some power, I want it available. If you want 40 MPG, buy a little tin-can eco compact car (which = death in an accident). Its not a Chevy Tahoe, its an accord! The MPG for this type of vehicle is great, so lets just get real people. I just bought this car, only 200 miles on it, so i havent settled in enough to have a great review on it as far as ride quality. Ive been a BMW driver for the past 10 yrs, and I like feeling stuck to the ground, this car feels very sturdy and weighted, which I like. Good handling.

  • Alrighty - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my first Honda and Im loving it so far! The pick up is good but that 18.5 gallon tank lets you know when you accelerate. Getting about 20 mph and hopes that gets better. Wish the colors were better with matched with the interior and exterior colors offered. Where is the Navy or dark not Royal Blue and that is not Red that is Wine.

  • As good as it gets. - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    What a nice car. Fun to drive, lots of power, smooth and a great interior. Havent noticed any problem with the vcm as reported by some. Initial gas mileage looks good too. I do find the lumbar on the drivers seat a bit uncomfortable though. Not sure if I will get used to it in time, hope so. So far a great car, looking forward to many years of Honda reliability.

  • As good as it gets for amt paid - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have a 2008 EX-L V6. Took delivery on 21 Dec 07 and have since put just under 15,000 miles on it. Considering the price it is probably the best car on the road today. It has room, performance, good MPG for its size and excellent reliability. The v6 is smooth and unlike some articles I have seen about the V6 with variable displacement technology I have not experienced any surging. Engine is most smooth. In this weak economy you should be able to buy an Accord for no more than dealer invoice. That is exactly what I paid for my 2008 in Dec 2007. In fact I am thinking you should be able to get it for $500 below dealer invoice and without dealer add-ons.
