  After 11 Hondas Im very disssapointed - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Gary"US - April 23 - 3:23 am

  This is my 6th Accord and the very first that I have ever had a problem with. DONT rely on your test drive, the seats are Very uncomfortable and when the engine goes into the "econo" mode the vehicle "shifts/rocks violently" forward and when leaving the "econo" mode it shifts/rocks forward once again which means that the vehicle is "CONTINUOUSLY" SHAKING AND ROCKING. 5 trips to the dealer resulted in 1 new wheel, 3 new tires and rotors turned down, (3000 miles)? have produced nothing! My best MPG at 60 on cruise is 22. I have a 2006 Accord V6 and routinely get 28/29MPG and the ride is Beautiful!!! Seats are very comfortable and ride is very smooth! Save your money, buy a used 06

  Awesome Ride! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Rod - April 14 - 2:06 pm

  The first 1,500 miles have been a lot of fun. I am very pleased with the cornering and superb handling of this car. Initially the dashboard controls were a little intimidating, but it doesnt take long to get comfortable with them. Everything is placed perfectly. Voice commands are logical and easy to remember. Ive been averaging 28 mpg per tank since about 1,000 miles. No problems. Glad I made the right choice.

  EX-L 6000 miles update (4cyl/5MT) - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Hannibal Mike - April 13 - 3:46 pm

  I traded my 1997 Eclipse Spyder GST convertible (turbo 4 cyl/5MT) for an Accord EX-L sedan (4 cyl/5MT) when I turned 60. Aside from missing the turbos acceleration, Ive preferred the Accords better mileage, handling and comfort. I averaged 34-35 mpg after 6000 miles (~90% highway driving). Lowest mpg was 29 mpg (~50% local driving with A/C); highest mpg was 40 mpg (driving 60 mph w/o A/C on Midwest highways). This Accord is the only large car I found with upscale comfort/amenities and a good manual transmission. The manual transmission lets me control the car better and achieve higher mileage.

  2008 Accord Still a Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By p0213 - April 2 - 10:23 pm

  We leased two 2006 Accords, and we kept one and traded one for a 2008 Accord. all three of these cars were 4 cylinder models. The 2008 model acceleration from standing start is about the same as the 2006. However, the 08 has better high speed acceleration. The gas mileage on the highway is about the same for both models. We average between 31 and 34 on highway trips with both cars. Local mileage with the 08 has been about 24 mpg, and about 25 mpg with the 06s that weve leased. The 08 is more comfortable and handles quite a bit better than the very good experience we had with the 06s. All three of these recent Accords have been totally satisfactory cars.

  Went from S2000 to Accord Cpe V6 w Nav - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Joseph - March 24 - 9:20 pm

  I turned in my S2000 for the Accord Coupe V6 w/ Nav and auto trans. I must say the nav is fun to play with, still getting to know all the functions and voice command. The stereo and XM radio is great. The speedo/tach is a little boring compared with the new Civics and S2000, but its bright and legible at night. There is a faint pull when the cylinders switch from 6 down to "eco" mode, but its very faint. Ride and handling are great as is the power, though pretty unimpressed with overall fuel economy but at least it doesnt take premium (averaging 23 mpg). But it looks hot, so for me, switching from an S2000 to this was important. People will gawk.

  Radiator, Rock, Blown Head Gasket - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Patricia Rinnert - March 19 - 6:13 am

  I leased a 2008 Accord in April 2008 - at 7,000 miles I noticed that the heater was not working - took it to the dealership - they determined that a rock had hit & put a hole in the radiator - not covered by warranty - $900 out of my pocket. 4,000 miles later the temp gauge went sky high - immediately took to dealership (less than 10 miles) and was informed that I now have a blown head gasket due to the radiator issue -$1600 out of my pocket - still discussing the issue but not happy with the radiator design or the run around - no car for 5 days now. No free rental as it is not a warranty item. Check engine light also comes on and goes off intermittently - Do I have a Lemon???

  My First Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By alex - March 18 - 11:53 am

  I have owned this coupe for 2 months now, and overall I am happy with the purchase. Definitely different than driving an Expedition. Gas mileage at first wasnt great but having reached 2500 miles, it seemed to go up dramatically in city driving. 17 mpg average to 20.7 mpg average. Hwy avg. mpg is 26, but havent gone out of town lately, it may be more. VCM/ECO did surge a lot when I first bought it, now just does it ever so often, usually only when accelerating from a low speed. Ride is great, power is awesome.

  Reasonably good car with some issues - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Steve - March 14 - 9:43 pm

  Pluses: Great visibility, good braking. Very good handling Negatives: Poor wipers, high level of road noise, dashboard controls are not intuitive, heating is inconsistent, windshield almost always fogs which makes it necessary to leave defroster on. Acceleration with the four cylinder is not good. Sound is only mediocre. Gas mileage is only 20 around town and 26 to 27 on the highway with a four!

  Havent had a Honda in Years - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Car Nut - February 26 - 9:06 am

  I am a self confessed car junkie. Have wasted many thousands trading cars too often. Have had new Acura RL, Acura TL, MBZ E55, BMW M3, Chrysler 300 SRT8, Infiniti M45 and most recently a BMW 550 w/sport pkg. I just got my Accord a few days ago and I honestly have to say it is an excellent car. Great fit and finish, tons of bells and whistles and its a great value for the money.
