  1st Honda, But Not the Last - 2008 Honda Accord
  By sternie - September 11 - 11:16 am

  Let me start off by saying I love this car. I totaled my Mazda Protege 5 and spent the next 4 weeks comparing vehicles. With about 60% of my commute being freeway I am averaging about 27 mpg. This is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have owned.

  Will probably be my last Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By John - September 11 - 10:06 am

  This is my 3rd accord that Ive owned in the past 5 model years. I had a 2003, a 2006, and now this 2008. The 2003 was a GREAT car. Little 4cyl 5 spd LX and it got awesome gas mileage. I then bought the wife a Honda Minivan, and traded the LX in on that. After about 6 mos I missed having an Accord, so I bought one for myself for my work commute. The 2006 was the 4dr EX V6 Manual 6spd edition. Got ok mpg averaging about 26.5-27.5mpg on my work commute which is about 85% highway. Bought this car and even on a 100% highway trip I couldnt get >26mpg. My work commute I get 22.5mpg. My 96 buick regal got 26-27mpg. Nice car but horrible MPG compared to ratings. Car maintained properly.

  Very Disappointed with Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By john - August 18 - 4:30 pm

  My Accord has more road noise than I expected. The engine is an oil hog. Uses 1 QT every 1800 miles and has since the very beginning. Honda will do nothing about it as they claim 1QT every 1000 miles is ok. Ive never had any other car do this. As far as Im concerned, I would not buy a Honda again nor would I recommend to anyone else!

  Beware -rear brake problem - 2008 Honda Accord
  By concerned coonsumer - June 21 - 3:20 pm

  I have happily bought and driven Hondas for over 30 years--until now. My 2008 EX-L V6, with mostly highway miles totaling 28,500 recently needed new rear brakes at a cost of nearly $360. The front brakes are fine. They tell me that this is normal wear...yet asked if I may have driven with the parking brake on or "ridden"the brakes....I dont believe it! I called Honda to articulate my concerns, and I have seen many other similar complaints on the web! This needs to be investigated....Since the car was the new model, I suspect that as time goes on, this flaw will become more apparent...

  Mixed bag - 2008 Honda Accord
  By dkwells1029 - May 31 - 2:06 am

  Traded in my 2006 Accord SE. Loved it. The driver seat in the 2008 is much more comfy. Pick-up is much worse. Stereo sound quality is worse. There is much more room in the 08. Ride noise is similar. Tires on the 06 were of better quality - I got over 80,000 on my 06 Michelins. So its a mixed bag. Overall, Im satisfied. The 08 is a nice car and still offers the best combination of size and fuel efficiency.

  Nice car, but check the driver seat - 2008 Honda Accord
  By SedanDriver - April 19 - 6:26 pm

  Purchased the Accord EX-L V6 new versus a used Infinity M35 or Acura. The EX-L compares very favorably versus any other sedan in its class and has many of the basic features found in "near- luxury" cars at a reasonable price. Park it next to a BMW 5 series and you see the exterior design similarities. This car would be perfect except for one major complaint, the design of the drivers seat. There is a bulge about halfway up the seatback that is immovable and eliminates any support for your shoulders. This is independent from the lower lumbar support. It may not be noticable to you on a brief test drive so check this out before buying, as there is no solution available from the dealer.

  I like it! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Dasilva3615 - April 19 - 10:40 am

  I like it. I really like it! I have to say that this is my 5th Accord and I am hooked on them. My 98 got totaled so I went for this. The Avalons design is prettier inside out but the engine is same size so I said y not? The ride is good, the sound system is more than adequate and it handles excellently. Once again, I like it. Theres nothing else to say.

  Problems with navigation system - 2008 Honda Accord
  By megan4 - March 26 - 1:53 am

  I bought this car because of the reviews. I had a problem with the navigation from the first week. It freezes and will will back out "dial- in" options, not very handy when you are lost. I need to shut off the car to get it to correct itself.

  From a 3 series to a rich burner... - 2008 Honda Accord
  By ken90004 - February 16 - 6:20 am

  An Accord isn’t anywhere close to 3 series on many facets, namely performance, but sadly to say, in others, it surpasses. The 4 cylinder lacks performance and handling and the gas saving is only minimal. Option for the V6 if it is an option for you. I drive 140 miles daily, and found the comfort the best feature. The controls are logic and easy to use. I did notice the traction control is something lacking at times. What you are getting, most of all, is Honda’s reliable. Something BMW still struggles with.

  Brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
  By ThomasK - February 9 - 11:03 am

  Rear Brakes at 21K. Thats ridiculous. Replaced them in my daughters Acura also. Honda can do better. I have had hondas since 1988, never had a brake problem like this. Sums up as poor manufacturing and a disappointment in their design and QC. Buyers beware of the problem and Hondas lack of interest to rectify the issue. Pads cost $50 at the local parts store. In summary.. COME ON HONDA, WE EXPECT MORE!!!
