Honda Accord has been fully redesigned for 2008. It's bigger and roomier. New four- and six-cylinder engines are not only more powerful, they either match or surpass their predecessors in terms of fuel economy.
- Powerful and fuel-efficient engines, ample passenger space, balanced approach to handling and ride comfort, striking coupe styling.

Lots of Good Stuff - 2008 Honda Accord
By Rajkumar - March 14 - 4:00 amDriving the 8th Generation Driving Machine is not too smooth (like Altima or Camry) but feels the same good old Accord (the manly drive feel). Lots of power in the new machine at 2600 RPM I made 80 MPH (of course more power) than the previous Accords. Wonderful to drive.

EX I4 Nice package but its not right - 2008 Honda Accord
By D. Turner - March 9 - 4:50 pmI am really trying to like this car and got into a 4cyl for the value. I am now regretting my decision since this car is getting difficult to live with on a daily basis. I drive a lot. I now have 14K miles on the car which was purchased in January. I spend a lot of time with it. So here it is: The 2.4L in the EX is the nosiest engine I have ever had. Although it has good power the refinement sucks. I originally thought it was the PS pump but 2 of those later the thing is still whirring and whining. My neighbor has a Ford Fusion 4 and its significantly quieter than this engine. Its almost embarrassing driving such a nice car around a parking lot and have it sound like a high mileage beater.

Great Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By Kim - March 5 - 7:46 pmLove this car! I was slightly concerned about all the reviews with the seats being uncomfortable. I love the seats-they are supportive. The car drives really well. I have not noted the headlights flashing like other reviews. More power than the Camry, more trunk space than the Camry. Very comfortable, sporty. Love it!

Honda has done it again - 2008 Honda Accord
By Rubired - March 2 - 7:06 pmWe have owned this car for almost a year now and I will not say that there isnt room for improvements (very minor room), but if you are looking for a family car that is very high quality, solid, roomy, very fun to drive, great handling and problem free there is no reason to look any further. I have owned them all Dodge, Chevy, Toyota, Ford and Hyundai and I can tell you that when new little difference exist between the brands that make a buyer go in a certain direction, but after 3 and 4 years after purchase is where the Honda shines above the rest. Ive owned a 2000 civic before this and also a 2009 civic now and I can say with confidence that time make Hondas the cars other try and live up to.

Diamond White Accord 4 door ex-v6 - 2008 Honda Accord
By dan smith - February 21 - 2:03 pmCar is a rocket with the 268 HP 3.5 liter V6, though not great on fuel, 21 mpg. Fit and finish is near perfect. If I could I would have the cylinder management system disconnected. I can feel the engine kicking off cylinders which is my only annoyance with the car. The dash controls are a little fussy and is taking some time to get use to, but nothing like a friends very very fussy Audi.

My First New Car - 2008 Honda Accord
By The Lords Accord - February 16 - 1:03 pmThe new 08 Honda Accord is beautifully designed. The impressive thing is that the LX base model comes with many necessities like full side airbags, power up/down driver windows, 16" wheels and Dunlop tires, drive-by-wire throttle, double-wishbone and ind. multi-link suspension, and vehicle stability control. The passenger space is very roomy. However, the trunk is not as big as you would like in a large- size car. Additionally, the standard seats are not my favorite. I did try the CR-V and it felt better to drive, but my wife demanded elegance and luxury so we went with the Accord. It is such a beautiful car that Ive only put 400 miles in three weeks. It is better admired than driven!

Happy at 5000 Miles - 2008 Honda Accord
By Captnemo - February 10 - 8:43 pmJust passed the 5000 mile mark with about half city and half highway driving. Gas mileage has been improving and is now consistently 29 hwy/22 city. Transmission shifting and VCM woes cited by some other buyers have smoothed out. So far, a noticeable improvement over my 98 Accord, which was a gem. Drives and handles well for a mainstream sedan, and it should be evaluated on this basis. If you want sports sedan handling and performance, then pay much more and buy a true sports sedan! Exterior with white diamond pearl resembles a BMW 525 series for thousands less.

Excellent vehicle - 2008 Honda Accord
By LM - February 2 - 10:40 pmPurchased to replace 2007 Nissan Maxima, also test drove 2007 Camry V6SLE which was very comparable. Honda feels more solid & I prefer styling (although that is very subjective). Now have 3,200 miles with no problems of any kind. Mileage on 1800 mile trip 28.2 driving 65 to 75 mph in fairly heavy interstate traffic. High of 31 on one slower segment. Like the XM radio and related controls as well as the dual mode automatic air conditioning. Very comfortable and roomy front seats for long trip. Very satisfied with this car.

Love my Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
By Love my Accord - January 29 - 12:33 pmI have leased a BMW 5 series, an Audi A6, an Audi allroad and an Infiniti M35X since 1998 and my new Accord beats them all. Its roomy, my 4 cyl has enough power, my MPG is best ever, and its got looks. its the real package folks!

A slightly different perspective - 2008 Honda Accord
By Matt - January 27 - 1:23 pmI decided to purchase a new car, because I was putting over 20,000 miles a year on a Dodge Ram 1500. I decided on the Accord after looking carefully at the Passat and Legacy. While I would have prefered to get a Passat, I could not find a 2007 Package 2 with a Manual, and the 2008s were not available with the manual and a sunroof. Compared to my moms 2000 Camry V6, the I4 manual Accord has more than adequate power, though its not a barn burner. The clutch is easy to modulate, the trans shifts well, but my 2-3 synchronizer is out of adjustment. The interior quality is good, though the gaps between the doors and dash are a little wider than the Camry. Great exterior styling, huge interior.
