Great Car, Good Purchase - 2008 Honda Accord
By Brian - November 11 - 6:50 pmIve had two Accords prior to this one and I like this the best. Its the roomiest of all, has good power and MPG are good, has a smooth engine and transmission. I almost bought a Fit but was too small for a family of five. I like the fit and finish, ergonomics, driving position and handling.

Bad... Bad... Bad... - 2008 Honda Accord
By Bad.. Bad.. Bad.. - November 4 - 3:53 amWeve owned several Accords through out the years and the 2008 model, is by far, the worst of the bunch. First and foremost, its literally the cheapest Accord that weve seen material wise. Gone are the LED-illuminated tachometer, LED brake lights, and illumination lights on all 4-doors. Gone are the individualized engine component protectors that were so touted in the previous generation Accord. The elegant and simple-to-use interior of the previous model has been replaced with cluttered and confusing array of buttons. The quality of the interior material is vastly inferior to the previous models - it looks and feels CHEAP.

Best car - 2008 Honda Accord
By John - October 29 - 7:56 pmBought LX-P for 22000. I usually only bought buicks since 1995, but they didnt last. I drive about 36k miles a year. The Accord is a great car, quiet, and i wouldnt trade it for anything. Camry vs. Accord, hands down Accord, test drove both. The Accord is so large, comforting, and easy to understand radio system. I currently have 45k on the car, and no problems. I also own a 08 Sentra w. 31k on it, and the Accord would beat it in every way possible, any day. I got into an accident w. the Accord, a Jettas brakes failed and crashed into me at 35 MPH. The Accords bumper had some scratches while the Jetta had to be towed! Great safety. it is so good, i would recommend to my enemies!

My 2008 Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
By barney - October 21 - 6:36 amAfter few years of driving a Chrysler 300 I found the car of my dreams. Having dealt with Honda for years on a supplier basis, I have found that quality does mean a lot to Honda. This is a sweet car with all the comforts of home expect a refrig with a cold beer!

Poison Ivy - 2008 Honda Accord
By Last Accord - October 20 - 2:23 amFirst Honda, probably my last. Replaced 2005 Camry that was totaled in a rear-end collision. Have owned the Accord LX since November 07. 1400 miles. Over 60. Three months and I still cant get comfortable in the LX. In my opinion: hard seats, hard ride, more road noise than expected, disappointing gas mileage. For test drive(s), I wish I had removed the hard plastic from the drivers seat; tried harder to get comfortable in the non-electric seat; spent more time on rough roads. I did several back to back test drives with Accord/Camry. I admit I was caught up (a bit) in the new styling of the Accord... but I do miss the more comfortable ride of my 05 & 96 Camrys.

Do not buy this junk - 2008 Honda Accord
By Looking for quality - September 18 - 12:13 amBought it 4 months ago and quickly discovered that I bought a piece of JUNK. Leather seats are the only thing of good quality. Any other thing is just JUNK. I think Honda is using recycled plastics for the dash. I completely disagree with experts saying that the new Honda Accords interior is of good quality. What good quality they are talking about. Everything inside the car rattles on very fine bumps and normal roughness on the roads. This gets me mad. What a poor quality. The car has wheel imbalance, which the dealer has never been able to fix! Can you believe it? Honda cannot get a balanced car out of their factory? The suspension is very poor. The body is very loose.

Gas Hog! - 2008 Honda Accord
By Chris - September 16 - 3:06 pmThis is our 2nd Honda Accord. We traded in a BMW 325i as it was rear wheel drive and not a good car to drive in the snow. Previously we owned a 98 V6 Accord, it was a great car and so we figured that we couldnt go wrong with the new accord, we loved the body style. The car is fabulous, except for one thing, it is a GAS HOG! For a 4 cylinder honda engine we expected to get better than 23 mpg, especially since my wife drives about 90% freeway miles at 65. The sticker said to expect up to 31, boy was that a lie! Our 6 cylinder BMW averaged 26 mpg on the same drive!

2008 EX 4 Cyl - 2008 Honda Accord
By staple15 - September 6 - 12:13 pmThis is the first Accord Ive owned since 1993, and we just sold it. We kept it for slightly under 2 years. The motor was strong for a 4 and with such a large car we averaged over 25 MPG combined driving. Our best tank was 31. The road noise was greater than expected. We had the drivers seat in for repair twice, one for a frame replacement to fix the "power ratchet" issue. Our last item was the brakes. We only got 28,000 miles from our pads and with the replacement they still were not "great". Not a bad car, but not in league with my 1993 or my Toyota.

Unreliable & Poor Gas Mileage - 2008 Honda Accord
By Matt M - August 30 - 6:16 amUpdate at 11k miles: Bought the car in October - In December had the overhead cams, rocker arm, fuel injectors and battery all replaced - dealership claiming bad gas (no reports to prove it). In February took the car in for an oil leak. In March had the right front rim/tire replaced because of pothole - had car realigned and balanced - still vibrates between 60-70 mph till date. Currently the rubber door seal if falling off. The best gas mileage I can get is 22 mpg which is mostly highway and the car sometimes hesitates during acceleration
