Nighthawk Black Beauty - 2008 Honda Accord
By auto guy - December 19 - 11:23 pmWe picked up a new Accord LX the other day and we couldnt be happier with our purchase. Although its a lower trim level, it has high quality interior trim; very comfortable seats; and and very smooth, quiet ride. The interior and exterior look great! Also, its very spacious inside, but it doesnt feel big. My only complaints are the wheel covers on the LX look cheap (in my opinion), the trunk hinges invade some space, and there isnt a trip computer or compass. Other than that, this car is great! I recommend it to everyone!

Alright Car But Not My Preference - 2008 Honda Accord
By Zach - December 19 - 6:46 amThis Accord is ok but I would much rather prefer a different car. The acceleration is somewhat on the exhilarating side but is way too loud at least for my taste.Have ridden in cars with more power and they were not nearly as noisy. The ride is good but could be better. The new body style is somewhat sporty but a downgrade from the 2007. The front seats are hard to the max. I like the options that are standard with the EX but still not a big fan of this car. The stereo is also very nice in this car.

2008 Honda Accord Sedan EX-L V6 - 2008 Honda Accord
By Ryan - December 15 - 7:53 pmOur family was badly in need of a car. Starting price of anything of any type of quality was approx. 25K. Looked at several vehicles. Jetta TDI: great mileage, poor build quality of the car. Passat: nice car, addl $$ for premium gas, not as big of interior as accord, dealer that we would utilize for service not clean. Volvo S40: nice car, small in size, about same as Jetta, very well built. Accord Sedan 4 cyl: great car, great quality. Our winner: Accord Sedan EX-L V6: great car, great quality, excellent fit and finish, lifetime dealer warranty on eng/trans, ULEV/PZEV, power when needed/wanted, best financing avail., nearly identical mpg as 4 cylinder d/t VCM.

2008 Accord, what a car! - 2008 Honda Accord
By mcpdjohn - December 14 - 10:36 pmI spent a long, long time researching and reviewing the cars available to meet my needs of a family sedan. I considered many makes and models, both foreign and domestic. Based on my particular needs and taste, the 08 Accord won hands down. I have had the car for only 3 days and driven it about 200 miles. It is a truly remarkable vehicle. The V6 is so smooth and powerful, with no perceptible change as the motor switches back and forth between running on 6, 4, or 3 cylinders. The ride and handling are outstanding. The ivory leather interior is outstanding. The dash is very impressive with the burl wood trim. The quality is so high, I havent heard one squeak or rattle. I love it!

Great car for the money - 2008 Honda Accord
By PETE - December 13 - 11:30 amI have had this car for about 4 months now and i must say that overall its one of the best cars I have owned. At first the gas mileage was a disappointment, but as the car is now breaking in (3800 miles) its getting better. As of this morning when i filled the tank i got 28.7 MPG and that was a mixture of highway and city driving. As far as style is concerned, its a real attention getter and i get many compliments on it. My only complaint is that it seems a bit sluggish. I figured 190 HP would have had more punch to it, but maybe this will get better as it breaks in more.

Dont buy this first model year car - 2008 Honda Accord
By dwest - December 7 - 9:33 pmThe 2008 Accord was a new model year which also included a redesigned brake system. The new brake system includes a new electronic brake distribution system that is not properly designed and results in premature wear of the rear brakes. My rear brakes only lasted 19K miles. Google this issue to find out more before considering this car.

Plenty of room! - 2008 Honda Accord
By Eicherts4 - December 6 - 1:33 amIm a little over 61" and my Accord has tons of room! Very comfortable drive, holds the road very nicely and a blast to drive. Like every car there are things I would like to see changed but overall you cant beat the quality of a Honda. It has a lot of pep, really moves for a 4cylinder! You wont find a better car for the price.

Not all 10s - 2008 Honda Accord
By Missing My TL - December 2 - 3:53 pmI have had the car for 13 months. I am a bit disappointed with the interior planning. The heated seat button on the driver side is obstructed by the hand brake and the mode button to change the heating and cooling is at the farthest reach of the control panel. Additionally, it is puzzling that despite the purchase of an EX-L you need to get a v6 just to get something as simple as a universal garage door opener. I have had Hondas and Acuras in the past and there used to be a distinct difference from domestics, that isnt so for this model.

Great Except Brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
By Bham Honda - November 25 - 1:10 amWe have owned Accords since 1983, all have been great cars. I have bought 9 Hondas since 2005. But like everyone else, the rear brakes are a real headache. Numerous problems with rotors and pads and dragging the parking brake. 97% of our miles are interstate, so we dont use brakes much, I cant imagine how many problems I would have if we urban commuted. Honda has been stonewalling the brake problem for months, if you are out of warranty, too bad. Even if you have had repairs under warranty that didnt fix the car right. They just dont care.

Wow - 2008 Honda Accord
By rjudge - November 23 - 2:23 amPurchased this vehicle after careful review of the Camry, Altima and Malibu. Uncomfortable in Camry, Had a Nissan before, rough ride. Test drove Honda and enjoyed the firm yet very comfortable ride. Fuel economy is great. Drove from Lafayette, LA to Orlando. Averaged 33.5 mi/gal. Same on trip to Houston. Overall averaging about 25-27 MPG. Handles very well, sure footed. If you like to drive and want great economy pass the other cars mentioned, this is the one youll enjoy.
