  • Simply 10s across the BOARD! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The Accord is the best car that I have ever had, RELIABLE, POWERFUL, CLASSY all bundled in one package. I will always be a Honda buyer but the way this car is still holding up I wont need a car for years and year to come! I have driven the car 10 months since I purchased BRAND NEW and EVERYTHING still works like the day it did when first purchased NEW, simply flawless. I had to have an EX with the Manual Trans. Fun to drive, very peppy through each gear and the clutch is very sensitive so you can barely touch it and go threw each gear. THANKS HONDA FOR MY ACCORD, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

  • Excellent Vehicle-Reminds me of my Acura - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    We bought this car with the expectations of getting a car that feels good with my bad back, gets good gas mileage, and is reliable. So far, the reliability has been as expected, it is comfortable on my back, and the gas mileage has been pretty good. It feels well-built, and the VCT does work seamlessly as advertised. I appreciate the iPod jack, but it would be nice if it were more conveniently placed, and had more interaction capabilities. I would like to be able to get Bluetooth without buying the nav system. Final issue - the transmission seems to downshift a little rough, especially between 35 - 40 mph. This may get better as the vehicle gets broken in; I only have 1200 miles on it.

  • Overall Very Solid Vehicle - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Purchased Accord Feb 2008 V6 EX Cloth interior. Overall, it has been a very satisfying vehicle. I have 19K miles on it after a year. I really like the power of the V6. Very peppy engine. I have not experienced any mechanical issues thus far. I change the oil and perform the scheduled maintenance. I find the interior comfortable for short and long trips. My wife does say the vehicle is not as comfortable for long trips as other cars weve owned. A couple of downsides. The headlights arent as bright as I would like. This should be fixed. Also, when the passenger windows are down but not the front windows, it creates a very strange frequency that hurts the ears. Overall a very good car.

  • Very Disappointed - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car with such high hopes but so far all I have is buyers regret. The interior has loud vibrating squeaking rattles coming from the glove box. Even while on a perfectly paved road the rattling noise from the glove box is so bad it drowns out the stereo and I have to drive the car with the glove box open to stop the rattle. I returned the car to the dealer and all they did was drive the car around the block and tell me there is no rattle. My guess is they dont have a clue on how to go about fixing it. Also driving over 70 mph produces loud wind noise. Everything else such gas mileage, handling, stereo system is fine but it doesnt make up for the loud rattles and wind noise.

  • Really amazing car - 2008 Honda Accord

    I got this car for my birthday. Wasnt to sure about it because i wanted the altima coupe. So glad I got this car. A lot better than the nissan by far and more for the money. This is my first car and I love it really fun to drive and very responsive.

  • 3 week review!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive had the car for three weeks now and in mixed driving Im averaging 25 mpg. Overall I like the car and dont regret buying it. Its reasonable comfortable and very roomy. The engine is a little harsh sounding. I feel a lot of vibration on the steering wheel when Im on the highway. The stereo is typical Honda which isnt saying much. The dash is nice but the plastics seem on the cheap side. No outside temp gauge, my fathers toyota corolla has that. One thing I really like about this car is the bodystyle. I really think Honda hit a homerun with it, very classy but sporty at the same time.

  • Good purchase - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This was an un-planned purchase. Id looked at the Mazda 3 and the Nissan Altima coupe. When I saw this in the Nighthawk Black Pearl I had to have it. I am coming out of a 2.8 VB Jetta so the 4-cyl is a little slow for me. Otherwise, its a great car. My only complaint is the seat is not comfortable for a long period of driving and if it is raining and you barely roll the window down uou will get soaked. This car is a real head turner. I get tons of compliments on it.

  • Head turner on a budget - 2008 Honda Accord

    Nice exterior design that is a great parallel to the Civic coupe. Cant go anywhere without drawing stares, big smiles, and being constantly asked "wow, what is that"? (must confess I removed all badging, did mild window tint . So only the grill emblem gives it away and most look at the whole picture). After 12,000 miles, 24.6 mpg overall avg. With 30.3 mpg as consistent full tank highway mileage. This has been a terrific driver with no functional or quality issues. Only needs to add drivers seat memory, 2-tone perforated leather, xenons, rear seat interior illumination mounted under front seats, and better tilt. Lose the cheap automatic shifter . This is not 1980! Awesome coupe

  • Perfect balance of fun and function! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After researching and driving many different vehicles, we choose the Honda Accord V-6 4 door sedan. Why? Because is has the perfect balance of the things we were looking for without sacrificing any one feature. The 4- door provides the room we needed, the exterior design keeps the "sedan" from looking boring, the gas mileage is great, the price point was right, and the reliability is terrific. We are thrilled with our new car. Kudos to Honda - they got this one right!

  • Dont Wait - 2008 Honda Accord

    I just traded in a 2008 Honda Accord 4cyl for this 6cyl, let me tell you its night and day. The 4cyl was loud and a litte harsh, the 6cyl is a thing of beauty and the smoothness of it is unbelieveable. If you can afford it, definately get the six cyl. When you test drive these cars do yourself a favor and take both models out and youll see what I mean. I bought the Exl version and its perfect for all the features you get. The car rides beautifully but at the same time you feel the road. Ive bought over 20 cars in my life and I can tell you this car is by far the best of all.
