  • Long in the Tooth - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    When I first purchased the Accord in the fall of 2007, I gave it a glowing review, noting that Accord had a perfect balance of quality, value and sportiness. After nearly a year of ownership, the car seems to be getting long in the tooth. Yes, it is roomy, has a nice interior, silky smooth engine, good transmission and direct steering. Yet, the Accord seems to lack that spark posessed by its predecessor. From the hard and uncomfortable driver seat, excessive body roll, several rattles in the interior and intrusive road noise, the vehicle just does not strike a chord (n.p.i) with me. In fact, I find my 2006 Civic Ex w/Nav to be a better built, more comfortable and more engaging car.

    I recently traded my 2002 ford focus in for a Honda Accord Coupe. This car is GREAT! Everything is perfect. I just put it on the highway this weekend and its performance was amazing! Im loving it :)

    Very happy with our decision. Bought a 4 cyl LX-P and its beautiful. Looks like a 35 K dollar car and not a 21 K car. Solid and fun to drive and I love the room... If I was single my first choice would have been the 09 TSX from Acura. That car is amazing, but being married with a kid on the way made me make the sensible decision.

  • NEVER AGAIN!!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought the loaded EX-V6 with leather for my wife after much research to replace a 2006 plain-Jane Avalon XL. My wife has been mad at me ever since. The EPA mileage ratings and what the dealer bragged about mileage wise are a joke. Supposed to be 19/29 for the V6 but its been more like 17/23. We now have 15,000 miles and the best that we ever got on a road trip was 24. The brakes have squeaked from early on and after twice having the dealer tell us they couldnt recreate the sound we gave up. Ive owned 5 Toyotas, 3 Infinitis, and 2 Nissans and I would gladly take any of them back over this car. There is a great deal of road noise in the cabin and the seats are very low quality.

    Overall, I am pleased with this automobile. It would be nice if the passenger front seat were available with the electric controls. Front passenger seat is quite low. I have also noticed a whine in the transmission. This noise is not really loud but it is noticeable through each gear. I did take it to a Honda dealer and they said this was normal. I have owned other Hondas and Toyotas and neither of them had this noise during shifting. Thank You

  • Do yourself a BIG favor---get an Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The best dealership on the planet, and a car that is as close to perfect as you can get. I am negotiating a trade for another presently and the depreciation is minimal. I seriously doubt that I could lease for the price that I am about to trade. The car is superb, performance, styling, quality, engineering, fit and finish -the whole banana ! The only hiccup I can report is that I think that the seats in our 2008 Odyssey are a bit more comfortable. Dont get me wrong, the Accord is a comfortable car, I am just a big guy and the seats just feel like they could use a little more of something. Do yourself a favor and get one of these for yourself.

  • I Love It - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    First, let me say that I have been driving Toyota cars for the past 10+ years. I was on my way to replace my Camry with yet another Camry and decided to give the Accord a try. 4 hours later, I think I will be driving Honda cars from now on. First, the new Accord compared to the new Camry is no longer a matter of taste: the Accord is not only better, it is in a separate class altogether. Workmanship is better, materials are better, the EX-L has more options than the Camry XLE and is cheaper! Go figure. More fun to drive, no under steer and mushy brakes like the Camry... I simply love it.

    I cant believe the room. At 65 it is very comfortable. Ride is smooth though road noise is a little excessive. Truly enjoy and appreciate all of the features that came standard. Very satisfied after 5 months. We love to drive it and we are averaging about 28 mpg (combined city/highway).

  • First Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Son just graduated from college and chose this car for his first car purchase. Its a black beauty with comfy leather seats. Interior very high end, exterior very upscale look. I like the coupe style better than sedan. Having previously owned two Lexus vehicles, I think this is a comparable car at a much better price. Also, Im impressed with all the safety features. Sound system is great too. Now Im jealous of my sons car, maybe Ill part with my 2001 Subaru Forester and get myself a Honda!!

  • My First Honda Too!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Drives and Handles great! Dont think you need the V-6 Model for power. The Vtech I-4 190 hp is more that enough to get the car moving!! Steering is very tight which is great on a small car. The looks of the car itself turns heads, every time we go somewhere, someone is always looking....Overall i think you will not regret buying this Honda
