  • Speed bumps - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Got a great deal on the Honda Lease Very dissapointed in the ride. Each bump in the road seems like a speed bump. Front end shocks just not making it.

  • Thrilled after looking at them all - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Well, I own a 2008 Corvette so I really wanted to buy the new Malibu whose dash & controls are similar, but the new Accord is just fantastic. Lets start with a motor that shuts down 3 cylinders when its not working hard. The space inside is larger than an MB E350. Controls are ergonomically pleasing like the temp and fan blower speeds (toggles).

  • The 2008-2009 Honda Accords are too big - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    We have been buying a Honda Accord sedan every five years for the last thirty years, with the last purchase being the 2008 Accord V6 EX-L. Compared to my 2003 V6 EX-L Accord Sedan, the 2008 seems way to big even though the difference in size is only a few inches. My 2003 drives and feels like a (semi) sports car and the 2008 drives and feels like a full size fat nose sedan, which it is. If you need to haul three adults around in the back seat, then get a 2008-2009, but if you like a sporty car that is fun to drive, then I would suggest that you get a different make of car, as Honda has abandoned its basic principles of making sedans that are fun to drive.

  • Greatest Automobile Devised by Man - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is a follow-up to my two previous reviews on my 2008 Honda Accord Base Model. It is the greatest automobile ever devised by man. After seven months of ownership and driving, the engines MPG has actually gone UP from 21.2 to a current whopping 23 city, 25 when doing much highway. This isnt the sticker MPG, its from careful recording and calc. after filling up. Your break-in period for the first 600 miles is crucial - dont gun your engine during that time. Warm up your engine for about a minute after each startup. After this coddling, you can drive like Danica Patrick at the Indy 500 and your Honda Accord will eat up the road. Good luck to all. Thank you.

  • Great Value, Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I traded my 08 Mazda Cx7 which was a Lemon for an 08 Honda Accord Coupe EX 4cyl AT. I had my Accord for 3 weeks now and I super love it. This is my first Honda and Im amazed of the quality and value for my money. My family and friends love the car too. Its a head turner..

  • The Best of Performance, Style & Quality - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I traded my 2004 Chevrolet Corvette for a new 2008 Honda Accord Coupe V6 and I am totally happy. This car has great gas mileage even with the V6. Its much more comfortable than the Vette and I absolutely love driving it. It has great handling and does so with comfort. I researched many other makes and models but for the performance, quality, and style, the accord won hands down for cars under $32,000. HONDA, YOU GET AN A+! Thanks

  • Great Car - Bad Brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This car is great in all aspects except for the brakes. I have replaced the brakes in less than 35K miles.

  • The Rocket - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This car will take off! Fuel economy not as good as my 2000 4cyl Accord. Ive babied it for 19mpg in town and I deliver pizza two nights a week. I havent taken a road trip yet so we shall see. HEATED seats are wonderful. Radio system could use some equalizer presets and usb ports buts sounds ok. A road trip will tell me more about road noise. Very sleek look and fun to drive.

  • Love This Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After much review of 4 door sedans in the $30K price range I went with the Accord. Im only 100 miles into my driving experience, but have to say that I love this car. It has a very upscale exterior design. The build feels and is very solid. The doors close like a Mercedes. The seems are very tight. As far as handling, the best was I can put it is that it is very confident. The braking and acceleration are excellent. The interior design is roomy and very comfortable. The control counsel and sound system do a very solid job. You could pay $20K more for a luxury sedan. But why?

  • Best Accord Ever? - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Been relying on Hondas for 13 years. Was not going to buy another, as I am almost 50 and wanted something that was bigger and would give me a cushier ride. Read about how this one is bigger than ever, had to test ride it. Nice ride, great handling, best brakes I have ever used. Paid a little under 20k. Have 7,500 miles and no complaints. Drive for both jobs, mostly highway, activate cruise control, sit back and enjoy the ride
