2008 Accord - 2nd owner - 2008 Honda Accord
By Haroon Jamshed - October 25 - 10:02 amI love Accords...wait, I used to love Accords. This is my 5th Accord and never again. Ive tried so hard to love it but I will never buy another. Im the second owner and driven it to 108,000 miles and will drive another 100K. Problems are: oil consumption, power steering pump noise, oil consumption, VTC actuator noise (severe) and did I mentioned oil consumption. Im mad tired of the oil consumption. Have to refill every 500 miles even though I have cleaned throttle body, changed spark plugs, air filter, PCV valve...Ive tried Lucas, STP, full synthetic, semi synthetic, nothing works (except Lucas helped but that thing is not oil, its freaking grease and dont use it)! Tired of oil consumption! Call Honda headquarters, called local Honda...nothing will work.

2008 honda flickering lights - 2008 Honda Accord
By Rocky - October 23 - 12:00 amMy 2008 honda accord ex headlights flicker approximately every 30 seconds when the A/C is on. They flicker at idle and while driving. This is a major safety issue and its against the law to have flickering lights on a four wheel vehicle. Honda says this is normal for the vehicle. This is unacceptable and should be recalled.

Dangerous Brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
By Phill - October 20 - 12:00 amOur brakes have had issues and at 24K miles the pads and rotors need to be replaced. This is a known issue that Honda has not addressed. This is my second Honda accord and it will be the last HONDA purchase.

Healed itself - 2008 Honda Accord
By Larry - October 17 - 10:46 pmHad many issues with VCM - irritating nauseating in and out of 6-4-3 modes so noticeable that it made my wife/passenger ill. At about 3000 miles it all went away and the car is now a pleasure. There seem to be so many components that enter into the VCM that performance can vary WIDELY from car to car. I read about the former BMW owner getting 20 MPG 50/50 hwy and city. Well, I dont know how they drive but I am pretty aggressive and the worst I have gotten is 24 combined and I regularly get 30 in the highway at 75 with A/C on!

OK Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By Jake - October 17 - 4:26 pmThis car could use more room in the back seat. Th front seats have a ton of room. The furl economy could be better. The acceleration is extremely slow. The driver side window is out of line after only 2 years. That is our first repair. This car has a narrow trunk space.

Our Latest Accord - Replaced Acura TL - 2008 Honda Accord
By Sundance - October 17 - 12:43 amWe have been Accord owners since 1982 and ventured outside only once for a 2004 Acura TL. After 4 years of harsh ride in the TL, we traded for an 08 Accord EXL V6 and are happy. The nice ride and handling are back, but miss the compact car the Accord once was. However, the 08 Accord is well designed, handles well for its size and the comfort level is so much better than the TL. Strangely, the gas mileage is not as good as the Acura but is acceptable. We are getting 23 in town and 27 on the road. Honda missed the boat in not installing Bluetooth unless you spend $2000+ for NAV. Also, the headlights of the TL, which were HID, were far superior to the halogens on the Accord.

Best in Class - 2008 Honda Accord
By hard to beat - October 14 - 10:50 pmBought a new LXP 2 weeks ago. Paid $20.5k with destination and no extras. No complaints. wanted a low maintenance vehicle (no headaches). hard to beat the Honda track record in the price range. Cruises nicely on highway at 70/75. highway mileage slightly over 30 as advertised. mixed driving around 27 mpg. Decent acceleration on the highway for a 4cy. with gas prices, wanted better mileage. stereo much better than my 2004 odyssey. in price range, hard to beat the 08 accord.

Very pleased! - 2008 Honda Accord
By New Honda Owner - October 1 - 2:46 amI bought my 2008 Accord EX-L (4 Cyl) about a week ago and I absolutely love it. I am typically a GM guy and chose the Accord over the Malibu and I am sure glad I did. I am averaging about 28 MPG (City/Highway) on the first 2 tanks of gas. the ride is AWESOME and the 190 HP 4 Cyl engine is more powerful than I expected. Very pleased with my purchase!

Bit Disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
By LH - September 13 - 11:53 amI bought the Accord as I felt it represented the best value in its category. Unfortunately, I have gotten off to a rough start. On the first morning it would not start in my garage and had to be towed back to the dealer. Turned out the battery had a bad core. While it handles the road very nicely, I am very upset with the hesitation I have experienced. When I accelerate from a stop or very slow speed, there is a hesitation about 40%- 50% of the time. The service manager took a ride with me and said that type of effect was normal for this transmission. In 35 years of driving, I have never experienced this with a new car and have not experienced it with my wifes CRV.

Disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
By Blueeyez77 - September 12 - 7:43 pmThis is my first Honda purchase. And I am very disappointed in the car I bought. For this kind of money, you can get a luxury vehicle with way fewer problems. First servicing took a whole day (so many problems) and still had to take it back. Problems with steering wheel, windows & seals, seats (electric and heater). It is a loud car.
