  • Hooked for Life! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my fourth car and first Honda. I have always wanted one and I am definitely not disappointed! The gas mileage is great. I averaged 31.8 MPG after my first fill-up. One can not beat that for this type and size car! I can now see why Honda owners love their vehicles so much. Once you own one you will never want to go back!

  • Honda did it again - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my 4th Honda Accord, its just getting better and better. I have test drove the Toyota Camry and the Nissan Altima. The Accord is smoother and comforter. Lots of legs room and has the most stylish/best looking interior than the other 2.

  • Not completely satisfied - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    -Good: a powerful 4cyl engine makes for a fun drive. Great mileage for such a heavy vehicle. Very spacious trunk and interior seating. Comfortable for a long drive, although lumbar support is a tad too excessive. Aggressive exterior styling (specifically the front). -Bad: rear brakes gave out at 30,000km, and, as I near 60k, another change seems imminent - very disappointing. Sunroof and windows open all on their own when car is PARKED and OFF - Honda couldnt diagnose the problem. Batteries in the remote entry died within the first few months of ownership. Overall a good vehicle, but does not live up to the legendary Honda reputation for quality and reliability.

  • great car - 2008 Honda Accord

    This is the second Honda Accord I have owned and I have had the best all around service from these cars. I will not buy anything else.

  • Rear brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Great car but rear brakes went after one year! I called the dealer and they would not cover it. My mechanic could not believe the brakes had to be replaced. He actually bet me money it was not my brakes, he lost!

  • Got a bad Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is the third Honda I have owned and by far the worst of the three. There has been a problem with fuel injectors going out, I have had the #4 injector replaced twice already. There is a very annoying vibration in the car at highway speeds that the dealer can not correct or identify.

  • What a great car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is the best built car I have ever owned. After having a awful 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx I bought my first non American in 37 years. My last one was a 1971 Dodge Colt. This car has a great ride, great looks, and I got 28 mpg in city driving.

  • 08 EXL Sedan - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Overall a pretty nice car but has some model consistent issues such as: BAD brake design-very premature wear out (just google it) and overkill on driver seat lumbar even at minimum setting. Also on 4 cyl models flickering head and tail lights whenever a/c compressor engaged. At times (often) automatic shifting is pretty jerky. The brakes and flickering lights are safety issues but to date still no recalls?

  • I have returned to Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I drove Honda back in the early nineties and thought I would not return. The design until 2008 I though was just ugly. When I saw this at the auto show, I desided to consider it again. Shopped it heavy, and this is just the best value. I commute alot, so interior is important to me, and its leather is does not seem cheap (like others in this price bracket) and comfort is top notch. I got the EX 4 cyl. for I live in so cal, and the 6 is not necessary sitting in traffic : ). Decent accel, huge back seat for my kids baby seats/ large friends. Read reviews about loud engine sound... mine is quiet. Feels like a luxury car but for about 10 grand less (why buy Acura?), will not go back Toyota

  • Step up to the plate - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I think its time Honda stepped up to the plate like Toyota and admit when there is a problem. Headlights are crazy-keeps dimming when driving, Brakes are shot at 22,000 miles, and drivers window makes horrible noise when closing.
