  The Honeymoon is Over - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Disappointed - March 8 - 7:23 pm

  My first new car in years, I had researched this car online for months! The test drive was great and I loved the car until I drove it out of town (trip lasted 2 hours) and developed back pain. Thought I was just getting old but it never improved and I was amazed to see all the other drivers who had the same problem. Ive already been through 2 set of wiper blades after 6 months and had the weatherstripping around the back doors replaced once. And my headlights blink too! Im very sad - I loved my daughters Civic and the dealer service is fantastic, but even good service cant help the uncomfortable seats.

  BRAKES!!!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By MJ - March 7 - 7:13 pm

  I really loved this car the first few months I got it. Until I had to replace the rear brakes at 13,000 miles!! Absolutely ridiculous! I am now at 31,000 and just replaced them for the 3rd time. This was the only problem I had with the car. But hopefully some good new awaits as I read from another reviewer that a brake update/recall is coming from Honda in December 2009. Lets hope that happens. There is also a lot of road noise, I cant hear my bluetooth coming out of my speaker. I paid $500 for it too! Just use headphones or ear piece. I have yet to get 30 mpg on the long trips I take. Im going to look at a Prius now if they dont fix the brake problem. Waste of money!

  My 3rd Honda - Love it! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Scott n Buffalo - February 21 - 12:06 pm

  After a brief break driving a PT Cruiser for 36 painful months I returned happily to Honda. It took one test drive and I forgot all about the Passat and Legacy I was comparing it to. The car is equipped just how I wanted (5-speed w/leather) and is less appliance like then my 02 Accord SE.

  Rattles - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Josh - February 20 - 12:13 am

  I love the car except for the rattles from the passenger side. I noticed the compartment under the glove box was not snapped shut properly so fixed that but it still rattles worse than my 2001 Nissan Sentra on certain road surfaces. Great handling and acceleration though.

  Best Honda I have ever owned. - 2008 Honda Accord
  By John of Columbus, NC - February 17 - 5:30 pm

  Have owned several Honda Accords before and the new design was really interesting. One test drive convinced us it was a superb car for us, I am 61" and it has lots of leg room. Traded in a 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited that depreciated too fast for my comfort zone. The 2008 Accord EX-L with 190 hp 4 cyl is a powerful driving experience. It gave me 25.3 mpg on the 3rd tank of fuel over both city and highway driving. Leather seats are very comfortable. My car is silver with black leather. Exterior design is handsome and a decided change from previous years. Added color matching body side molding for extra protection from careless door openers. A really super vehicle.

  Love It - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Julie - February 13 - 7:40 am

  This is the third Honda in a row for me, and it looks like I will be buying a fourth. The new Accord has a lot more power, style, and room than my 2001. The look is that of a BMW or Acura TL, but for way less money. My daughter has been telling everyone that it is her car, but that we can drive it until she turns 16 in 5 years.

  Should have bought one sooner - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Kent - January 9 - 1:33 pm

  I recently bought a 1.5 year old EXL w/Navi. I traded a 2005 Infiniti GSX, and should have done it sooner. I owned an Acura for 8 flawless years and am a Honda fan, but a friend whos a sales manager at a dealership called to say he had a clean 08 accord, and I jumped at it. Bang for the buck its hard to imagine a better vehicle. Its very comfortable, remarkably large inside and just an overall great vehicle. It is far more refined than the G (granted, the G is an aggressive car) but the fit and finish are much better. The mileage is great, and Ive had to get used to stopping less for gas. For you non-Honda people, try one, and try the Accord. It deserves the raves it gets.

  Good reliable choice - 2008 Honda Accord
  By monica - January 3 - 1:30 pm

  I bought this car after much consideration of many models. I chose it for the low emissions, value for the money, reliability and gas mileage. Its a great car, I just miss my BMW which was way more fun to drive. Im 6 tall, and find the driving position pretty comfortable. I get 27+ MPG in mixed driving, which is pretty good although its annoying that I have to calculate it manually. (ok Im either spoiled or lazy)

  If I could do it again I would! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Sabrina - December 28 - 6:06 pm

  The only cars Ive ever owned have been Mustangs (last 2 were GTs). After having yet another problem with the stang, I decided to trade it in and drove past Honda. The minute I saw the Accord, I liked it. I doubted that the 4 cylinder would be enough power, but I test drove it and its quick. Its no 8 cylinder GT, but it also gets double the gas mileage and so far, no problems. The major factor in my decision was that its also recommended in Consumer Reports. I didnt want another pile of car crap that was going to give me issues, and Honda has an excellent reputation. The rear is not the most attractive, but I plan on getting a body kit installed, so it wasnt a factor.

  Fun and Looks Nice - 2008 Honda Accord
  By jcross - December 23 - 3:40 pm

  This is my fourth Accord and Honda got most of it right. My 2008 190 HP EX-L Coupe is perfect for around town and short trips. The high end sound system is very good. Fit and finish and ergonomics are as you would expect from a Honda, very good. This Accord has more road noise than I like and the seats tend to be hard, unlike my other Accords. The V6 would be a better choice for folks that go on long road trips, have longer commutes or do allot of freeway driving. The rear brakes had to be serviced at 20k miles. Honda acknowledged that this was an issue and pro rated the fix. The Clear Coat may be an issue as it was on earlier Accords. Fuel mileage has been less than expected.
