  • Quality lacking - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    too complicated to figure out all features; a/c fan control inconvenient for driver; road noise; paint on bumpers dont match color of paint on body--evidence of poor quality control!

  • Love my Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I went from a Mercedes C280 to a Honda Accord, V6 w/navigation. This car is much bigger and has all the bells and whistles. The navigation is worth the money and I love the blue tooth technology being used with my cell phone. Also, love the xm radio. I dont feel like I downgraded at all. Absolutely got a great car, roomy, comfortable, great ride for a nice price. Also, the 2.9% financing was a great deal.

  • Excellent Fuel Mileage - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have just purchased this vehicle, and am impressed with the power of the 4-cylinder engine with the automatic transmission. The ride is excellent, and the fuel mileage is impressive so far. My first tank of fuel I experienced an average of 29.2. I do mostly highway driving, but was very happy with the early numbers

  • First Honda, 3rd Japanese car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I work for ASIANA AIRLINES as a shuttle driver, and bought this as a second car because my shuttle (we use our own cars) is a 2008 GMC YUKON XL, which uses a lot of fuel, and i usually need to drive 1 or 2 people. i drive an average of 3600 miles a week (CT to NY to MA to PA) and this car gets an average of 36 to the gallon! I like the maintenance minder( even though im getting oil changes every week) because i sometimes lose track. The Accord has served me well, and now im waiting for it to be traded in because i have 240k miles on it (no lease for me).

  • Pleased - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased this car in December of 2008 after looking at several other makes of car. After driving it for six months in the city and on the highway I have no regrets.

  • Brakes and VCM - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I am very disappointed in this car. I am disappointed in the ride. The VCM is very rough. It lunges when shifting. The brakes have squeaked since purchase and the dealer cant hear the noise so say they cant fix it. I was told that the reason they squeak is because Honda uses hard disc pads so they will last longer and problem with brake pads is a reasonable swap for longevity. Not to me.There are more rattles than I would like but this isnt too bad. I had SAABs for 16 years, one a 4 cylinder and the other a V6 Turbo and wish that I had bought another one even though they cost more to fix and maintain. The SAAB dealership has treated me far better than the Honda dealer.

  • First time Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have been a Toyota lover for more than 10 years but did not like the new design. I was ready to purchase the BMW 328 but opted for the Honda Accord. The 2008 Honda is awesome. Luxury design with economy pricing. Handling is great and fun to drive.

  • My Honda Accord LX-P - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    All I can say is stay away from this vehicle. 1) Road noise= Loud 2) Vehicle Ride= Very bumpy. 3) Headlights= DIM. For your safety, do not drive this car at night on back roads. 4) Gas Mileage= Poor. 20 - 21 mpg no matter what the driving conditions, even with cruise control on the highway. 5) Seats= Like sitting on a church pew. 6) Rattles,Rattles and Rattles again 7) Horrible wind noise OK, now some positive things: Will be happy when I get rid of it!!!

  • Great Car! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned my car for 2 weeks now, and I absolutely love it! Everyone asks what kind of car it is and tells us how nice it is. It is comfortable, easy to drive, and fast! We bought the EX-L V6 model w/o nav. Great car!

  • Rear Brake pad nightmare! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned 4 hondas and have come to rely on the fantastic quality of performance and lack of maintenance issues. I can literally change the oil religiously with a Honda and it will go forever. Not with this latest purchase. I have owned the vehicle for 1 year and 7 months with 21,000 miles and just paid for new rear brake pads! Unbelievable that after only 3...three oil changes, I am replacing brake pads. WOW Honda! I am extremely disappointed that the reliability and quality that I have come to expect from your cars has come to this.
