  • My favorite Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car lightly used (19K miles) a few months ago. The EX is THE model to get. I have been very happy with this car so far. It replaced a 97 Camry 4cyl and since it is a much larger/safer/heavier/more powerful car, it gets a little less MPG. With conservative driving, I get about 24 city/34 hwy (properly manually calculated). The seats are very comfortable & supportive. I test drove an EX-L and felt the seats were too firm (plus, the EX-L seemed too slow..maybe not broken in yet). FWIW, mine is from Japan. I drove/compared to a dozen other cars.

    You guys are too harsh consult Honda owners. I have been driving Honda Accords since 1994. 1) They always had a noise issue (larger tires and a timing chain didnt help since now its more noisy BUT you get better handling and no timing belt replacements at 60K miles). 2) For those who have to change rear pads too early; You have to USE THE PARKING BRAKES to set the rear brake pads properly. The inside and outside pads should ALWAYS wear evenly (IF ONE PAD IS WEARING TOO FAST SOMETHING IS WRONG) 3) Always had stiff ride and seats.

    This is my first Honda. I had an old Camry and i love this new car. It is fun to drive, I love the color, it has great features, the sound system is nice, the power is perfect and the gas mileage is great!

    Larger car than the old Accord which is nice, however the build quality is lacking from the older models

  • Nice ride for the $$$ - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Overall experience has been very good. The cars ride and styling are very nice. I do have to agree with other reviews in several areas, excessive road noise and the VCM is very noticeable. If I could turn off the VCM I would and sacrifice the 1 mpg. Come on Honda...would installing a little insulation for the road noise hurt your bottom line that much.

    With a baby on the way, this car offers everything I need; safety, space, reliability and just enough styling to make it a head turner.

  • Great Car - Horrible Gas mileage - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    The car is great. It looks and drives very well. Comfort inside is better than expected. Worst issue is Gas Consumption, this thing averages 18 MPG for city and hwy combined. This is with normal driving . Honda does not care or want to do anything about it. So beware, if you are trading in your V8 for a mileage vehicle, this is not it in my case.

    I traded my 2006 Honda Accord V6 in on my new 2008 Accord EX-L V6 because I needed more room and better fuel efficiency. I got It!!!!!!!!

  • Brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was just informed that I will need new rear brakes. The car just has 25K; they ought to go over 40K. The dealership I took the car to told me I was told that they are seeing cars needing brakes in 15K miles. My driving is mostly highway which probably accounts for the fact that I got more. I cannot imagine that Honda was unaware of this problem. Unfortunately I bought a 2009 EX-L Honda Accord before I became aware of the problem. Honda needs to correct it immediately and reimburse customers for any repairs. If they do not correct the problem, I plan on telling everyone I know about it and recommending that they not buy the car.

  • WOW! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have owned very high end cars and I am amazed at the expectations of some of these reviewers. This Honda is so fun to drive and very reasonably priced. A 20k car is not going to drive like a 50k car. My husband and I compare it to our old BMW. Of course, it has more road noise but so did the 5 series when we tested it. We are both tall, 511 and 62" and have no problems with the seats. This is a great car for the money.
