  • Great but disappointing - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Honda Accord EX-L 4cyl Auto is my first Honda purchase. Enjoyable to drive, fuel economic, and handles well. I have been driving it for 2 weeks now. 1 week within ownership my driver side mirror started with a quarter inch crack that grew to 3 inches. I showed it to the dealer, they are quick to believe that an object hit it or somebody bumped it and is not covered by any warranty, however no scratch, starring, or chipping indicating foreign object hit or bump. The explanation is hard to believe leading me to believe that Honda uses substandard parts, I wonder what part will break next. I chose Honda over Volvo S60 because of reviews and over all cheaper. Now, I got substandard cheap.

  • Buy this car! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    You are hearing from a previous 2005 Acura TL owner, so this Accord had a lot of living up to do. I sold my TL to try something new, a 2007 Volvo S80. Total piece of junk. It was in the shop so much that Volvo ended up making one of my monthly payments from me. So I unloaded the Volvo and was out car hunting when I came across the new Accord coupe. It was love at first site. I first purchased an 08" coupe 4 cylinder with cloth. But after a few weeks, it wasnt powerful enough, so I took it back and the dealer gave me a good deal and I got the V-6 EX-L. What an awesome car. Totally worth the extra $3k. You get a V-6, heated leather seats, XM, 18" rims. Buy this car, in the V- 6. Youll love it

    Former Toyota owner, the Hondas fit & finish and overall quality seems to be on a higher scale. I have been very pleased by Hondas treatment after the sale by the dealer and also the factory.

  • Building Fuel Efficient Cars? - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The Accord is indeed a nice car. Very disappointed in mileage. Nowhere near the mileage the sticker shows. Only getting 21 MPG on highway while driving speed limit. I also have a Honda Odyssey that "implied" I could get 29 MPG. I can only get 22 MP. Both vehicles are the 6cyl with the VCM. I think Honda needs to correct this. One of the driving factors for the purchase was the fuel economy. Outside of that, the car is excellent.

  • Simply Unbelievable! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Bought nighthawk black metallic, what a head turner. Most lookers cannot believe its a Honda. Faster than my previous 324i and takes off like a rocket and handles like a dream. Traded 2004 EX-L V6 4 dr also a great car but cannot compete with this beauty. High Honda quality interior materials, great stereo, and loaded with every option you could think of.

  • The finest Accord Ever ! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    After tracking almost 2 months of research on American and Japanese mid-size car models, only two stands out for their performance, reliability and safety - Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. But 2008 is a year of Honda Accord. My my, I have never experienced such smooth performance, stability, pick-up, mileage and comfort that I am enjoying with my new 2008 Honda Accord. People do compare sedans outer body trim with BMW 5-series, but I feel its really unique and give elegant looks as compared to older Honda models. Moreover, range of trime lines gives tough competition to Camry. I admire engine performance and comfort while driving atleast 30 mile a day to job.

  • Most Annoying Honda to Drive - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Weve had our 2008 Honda Accord V-6NAVL for over a year now. The dealership has been unable to correct the vibration and noise that occurs at certain speeds (e.g., 25 mpg, 35 mph, 45 mph). It seems to be a combination of the transmission upshifting too soon and the engine. The sound and vibration is very similar to what happens when a manual transmission is shifted into a higher gear at a too low rpm. The result is that the noise and vibration make the car annoying to drive at certain speeds. Love the car design inside and out. Hate the engine and transmission. Just waiting to dump the car after 2 years.

  • Nice car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Traded a 2007 Azera Limited in on 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L with nav. Black exterior and black interior are gorgeous. Get tons of compliments on the car. So far quite pleased. I am sure the V6 would have been a lot faster but with the price of gas I am happy with the 190HP 4cyl. Not a rocket but still fairly quick. The stereo is excellent. Nav works well. Comfy seats. Very good ride and handling - much better than the 2007 models. The only complaint I have is the intrusive headrest which Honda needs to improve. Hyundai has a front-to-back adjustable headrest that ratchets to the position most comfortable for each rider and it is the only item superior to that in the Honda.

  • Another Winner From Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Much bigger and better than our Accord 00 EX-L trade-in, which we loved. The xtra room is a bit wasted on us, empty nesters, but the Civic is too small. "Gliding" can best define the comfort and quietness of the ride inside. Driving is nimble with quick steering and smooth road feedback. Ample power is confidence inspiring; the heavier new car has better weigh/HP ratio than the old one. This trim is about right for us: we dont need moonroof, heated seats/side mirrors (we live in S.FL) of the EX-L. But all the safety eqpt. is the same. Some other STD features add true value. With the leather seats, comfort is close to EX-Ls at a "best buy" price.
