Nice, but with problems - 2008 Honda Accord
By reedner - May 4 - 12:36 amHow did Honda build a bigger Accord with more horsepower and keep the same fuel economy? THEY DIDNT!! The advertised 21 city/31 hwy is way off. Ive put 1000 miles on mine and Im averaging about 19 MPG. Living in Los Angeles I do a lot of city driving, but my previous car (03 Toyota Highlander w/ V6) got the same fuel economy. Not good for a 4 cyl sedan. The ride is also hard. Again, my SUV felt softer. Otherwise the car is comfortable, stylish, spacious and it handles well. The navi, Bluetooth, XM radio features are great. Get this car if you want a stylish family sedan with a good track record. Dont get it if you want good fuel economy & luxury ride.

Reliable? - 2008 Honda Accord
By BH - April 23 - 7:30 amI bought this car because of Hondas reputation of building a reliable car. Unfortunately, with less than 30K miles on the car, the engine malfunction light came on. I took it to the dealership to find out that all of the valve seals in both heads needed to be replaced. According to the dealership, this is the second vehicle (within a 2 week time span) that they have seen with this problem. From the sounds of it, these are not isolated incidents either. I would not recommend purchasing this vehicle.

2008 Honda Accord EXL Coupe V6 - 2008 Honda Accord
By Cal - April 12 - 12:00 pmLove this car! Loaded, except the GPS. Great power, great ride, and pretty good fuel mileage (I average 25 between city and freeway, and usually set the cruise on 80). When I go on highway trips I usually get around 28. Great sound system, huge trunk, and plenty of backseat room even for those 6 feet tall! Only complaints I have is the road noise, which is a little louder than I would like, especially in rainy weather (of course my previous car was an Audi A4), and of course it doesnt handle near as well in the snow/ice. Would I buy it again? YES!

Sweet! - 2008 Honda Accord
By thetrev68 - March 30 - 11:40 amThe best way to review this car is to compare it my 06 Altima 3.5SL that I traded in. The Altima was faster, had more options, and a better Bose stereo. I still prefer the Accord. Build quality is fantastic. It feels both luxurious and sporty at the same time. Every texture feels upscale. Every button is full of precision and is satisfying to touch. The car steers and drives effortlessly but retains a degree of connectedness to the driving experience. I couldnt be happier with the car.

By GREATLY SURPRISED - March 17 - 7:00 pmA smooth ride and great handling car. The car has a 268 hp engine which provides plenty of power for passing and yet the car gets 31 to 33 mpg the interior of the car is well laid out and the controls and gauges are easy to read and handle the fit and finish of the car is flawless a well built car the exterior design is smooth and flowing well done without excessive curves and as usual the Honda reliability remains its strong point I love driving this car I hate to get out of it at days end this is the first Honda Ive purchased ill never drive anything other than a Honda again

Good Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By randy - March 10 - 4:16 pmBought this car after having 7 Toyotas. Liked the looks and the value. However there are some issues. There is a white substance that comes through the heater/AC vents on the dash. Dealer has no idea what is causing this. States he will get back to me after talking to the factory, but so far nothing. Also the EX-L 4 cyl. needs power seats on the passenger side. Feels like your riding on the floor. Thought gas mileage would be better. Only getting 23 combined highway/city. My wifes Camry 4 cyl. gets 28 mostly city driving.

Buy it !!!!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
By Vincent Scott - March 4 - 4:26 amAccord sedan Lx-P (cyl.) 5speed auto I went to test drive the 2008 civic EX . They didnt have it in black the salesman suggested the Accord they met my offer. I test the car and was very impressed with the looks and the 4cyl was adequate since gas mileage was very important to me.other car was Accura TL/Lincoln LS V8. I expected a little better gas mileage avg, approx 26 mpg. not bad on 70% highway driving and 30% city.1100 miles now . I would highly recommend to friends

Honda...ONLY THE BEST!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
By Jason - February 28 - 5:59 amBought my 2008 Honda accord 2.5 years ago with 86k miles and she now has 141k miles and has only needed oil changes and a set of brakes and a set of tires, this car has been EXTREMELY RELIABLE and has NEVER once left me stranded. I have anxiety and normally worry if Im not in a safe vehicle but when Im in my Honda Accord I know for a fact Im not gonna get stuck. The speakers are 6.5 inch all the way around I replaced them with pioneer speakers, the 6 disk changer I love, I love the moon roof, the cold air she blows, the purring I-Vtec engine that sips gas especially on the highway. Seats are comfortable and the trunk space is huge, believe me when I tell you Honda is the MOST RELIABLE car that you will EVER find. I feel sorry for the ford, Chevy, and dodge owners breaking down, while the Honda owners are the kings of the road. When you see a fellow Honda owner throw a wave at them and beep your horn and show your proud ownership of your Honda. BUY A HONDA ACCORD TODAY.

Technology Failure - 2008 Honda Accord
By sailor14 - February 20 - 6:06 amI have the new Accord with all the bells and whistles and what a let down! The cellular system can not do what a Ford Focus does these days - automatically synch a phone book on ANY bluetooth phone, voice dial through the car using the phones voice recognition (Ford, BMW, Lexus, all do!) AND who in their right mind created a car that holds data you can not back-up? There is a CR reader, why not CR-RW- or a place for a chip in the dashboard? It has TWO phone books, the nav system and cellular, and they dont even synch! AND to add insult to injury they have a jack for your iPod but again it is a BASIC audio in - no tunes synching (again a Ford basic) and no display on your dashboard.

What a Difference - 2008 Honda Accord
By MAV - February 16 - 8:26 amThis car exceeded our expectations. Who would have thought it could be this sporty? Neighbors envy it, our friends thought it was awesome. Lots of looks and comments from people. Our teen wants one.
