    Beautiful car, got one of the first cars at the dealer when they came out. Very happy with the car enjoy the ride and performance. I am having early wear on the brake, shimmy at 60 mph with 20K miles on the car. Possible design issue, dealer reviewing. Mileage is disappointing.

    Dealer was ok. I bought the 2008 Accord 4 DR EXL-V6. Wind noise on the road. Gas mileage is the pits. I do not do jack rabbit starts and I use the cruise on the highway. The interior and exterior are nice. I miss my keyless numbers to open the door when locked. It has everything but good gas mileage. It has some blind spots and the front sets so low you have to be care when you park in the parking lot it will drag on the curb.

  • Keeps getting better - 2008 Honda Accord

    I have had my Accord for about a month now and I keep falling in love with it more and more. It has been a great car, and you cant beat it for the price. The nav system is amazing, bluetooth is very handy, and the styling is just perfect. However, the road noise is apparent, which i didnt really notice when we first got the car, but everything else makes up for it. This car is Front wheel drive, but you would never be able to tell by the steering. It is very smooth. If you are considering BMW and Mercedes, check this one out.

    Bought the 2008 Accord in July. Good running car. Good style and quality. Just did a round trip to Fla from MA. Comfortable ride no thanks to the comfort of the drivers seat!! Had to purchase an orthopedic back support for the driver side. It was worth the $100 bucks. Without it I was in pain! I suggest others complaining of same to purchase an orthopedic car back support to correct the problem.

  • Honda - where are you going with this - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The car which does every thing right is getting wrong, build quality is down from last few generations. Lost the battery charging in just 3 hours of leaving the door open and radio on! The engine starts as if there is lot of load on it (4cl) - not a very peppy engine - I may be wrong here because all the time I have used Pontiac GTO, CTS, Impala 3.8, Maxima and Hondas V6. I wouldnt recommend this car due to the fact that the quality of build is not up to Hondas standards.

  • Quality and practical choice! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After six months of research and test driving (CRV/Civic, Corolla/Camry, Acura TL),ands down, the Honda Accord is the best in the market. My work requires daily travel of 150miles/day. With 268 hp and great mileage with VCM feature, theres nothing more I can ask for a car! The center console is awesome!! Youve got everything you need in front of you. If you are not a tech savvy person, you may not like it. The exterior is great! Everywhere I go, everybody looks at my car! The interior has lots of room.The ride is so smooth.

  • From Hyundai to Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my first Honda, and WOW! Traded in my elantra at 33 MPG but with the VCM in my new Coupe, I am getting 28.4 MPG on last fill up. Love the interior and the power and speed, but not hard to beat after what I had. Drove an Altima (3.5 V-6 coupe) and the accord was a major step up and less a price.

    Ive had 2 Accords before this one, both of them were 2002, and both were leagues better than this one. This car had rattles at 500 miles and has horrible performance even for a four cylinder. The car hesitates when accelerating. When paying 22k for a new car, it should be solid and not have any squeaks or rattles. I am very disappointed with this car. On top of all this, I get horrible gas mileage; in city driving I get 15-16 mpg. Apparently the car isnt broken in yet, but I know someone who has a new 4 cyl Accord which is past the break-in period, and he also gets around 17 mpg. I would NOT recommend this car to anyone. Go for the Camry; I test drove it, and its much better than this car

  • Rattles and Squeaks - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have had my car in the shop six times in the past two months to have various rattles and squeaks fixed and still havent been able to clear them up. There are rattles coming from the rear of the car, even when I drive on smooth roads. The center console around the shift knob squeaks as well. The Honda dealer has not been helpful at all, usually ignoring my requests and not able to "find" the noises that I hear every day. Their response is that I have to expect to hear the noises as Honda doesnt use good insulation on their car bodies. I will keep that in mind when I shop for another car after Christmas.
