  • Great Coupe - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Traded my 2006 Lexus IS250 for a 2008 Acoord coupe I4. Boy no regrets at all. I see some frustradted people here who are not that happy with the new Accord. It is all in your head if you belive that your car is fun, you will feel that. I love my coupe inside and out, great looks and very responsive engine for a four cylinder. And great gas mileage averaging 28.5 on regular gas. Easy to get in and out on the back seat. Very comfortable ride compared to my Lexus. I would recommend anybody shopping for a new car. Great car, looks and plan to keep it for a long time( I have cahnged 6 cars in 5 years)

  • Totally Disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive had my Honda for 2 weeks. About a week ago I noticed that my car had a 1 second delay when shifting into drive. When stepping on the accelerator, it would take a moment to actually shift into gear. I also dislike the way the car down shifts when you take your foot off the pedal. Its very noticable...moves you forward in your seat. And when shifting from one gear to the next...well its rough. I took my car into the dealer and they said it was normal for the Accord. We even test drove another car just like mine and it did the same thing. Im in the process of trying to give it back and filing a complaint. Who makes a car that has a delay when shifting into drive? Normal?..whatever!

  • Fantastic Car! - 2008 Honda Accord

    I was looking for a luxury-feel car with great performance at a good price. My two choices were the Honda Accord & the Acura TL. The Honda Accord EX-L V6 with sat nav won because it was just as luxurious as the TL for a lot less money.

  • Very Nice Car from Honda - 2008 Honda Accord

    My first Honda Accord and I like the car very much. The car feels solid and is comfortable, especially on the highway. I especially like the room in the car, the headroom and legroom is incredible.

  • Beware of Brake Problems!!! - 2008 Honda Accord

    Purchased the vehicle new and within 2 months I had to replace the front & back rotors and pads. Since then I have had to replace the rear pads every 25K miles.

  • Gaining Attention - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After the timing belt went on my 99 dodge stratus. I decided that it was a good time to purchase a new vehicle. With only 450 miles on my belt, the new 08 Honda Accord is making me one happy person. The gas mileage not up to were I like it to be, but I hear that over time it will improve. The car a bit on the pricey side, but for all the features, great ride, and enough room for a 6 to 61" guy; its will worth the money.

  • My first Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The 2008 Accord is the first Honda Ive ever owned. This is one great automobile. the fit and finish is unmatched. not a single item needed post purchase service or attention. The engine and transmission is the smoothest unless compared with a vehicle costing $20k more. the variable cylinder management changes to 4 cyl when not under load, this helps with fuel mileage. I highly recommend the Honda Accord.

  • So So - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I did a lot of research before the purchase of my 2008 Accord EX-L. I looked at other cars like the infiniti G35 and 3-series. The Accord has some strengths 1) fuel economy 2) pickup 3) space 4) reliability. However, there are a couple of things that kill it for me 1) terrible driver seat comfort, kills my back 2) lack luster interior design, my Acadia has much better comfort 3) the VCM drives me crazy because the constant change in cylinder use is perceptible enough to be an annoyance. I will be trading this car in for a BMW 3-series in the spring.

  • 2008 Accord EXP - 2008 Honda Accord

    I just turned in my 05 Malibu for the Accord and what a major difference, should of gotten the 05 Accord when I had the chance. Ride is excellent and secure, power is good. One thing I will say to everyone who gets a car: do your home work. If you had read some of the car or consumer report write ups about the car a lot of your concerns I was reading about would have been answered, i.e. poor gas mileage look close at your window sticker not the big mpg numbers but the ratings below, it tells you that you could get 17 mpg based on your driving habits. Next time you take a new car for a ride tell the sales man not to say a word and keep the radio off and find a road that needs work to drive on.

  • Not good for me! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Purchased a Honda Accord V6 due to the reviews. This car has been the worst new car I have ever bought. Been to the shop 3 times for the coil replacement, 1 time for a new injector pump, 5 times for door and dash rattles and brakes at 26000 miles. No more Hondas for me. The dealer has been great to me but the car has been a poor choice!
