  • Better Then a Bimmer - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    My wife and I are blown away. Honda went for the jugular with this design. Black with tan interior is very classy. This car is quick, luxurious, feature rich, and handles like a dream. All with the comfort and price of Honda reliability. The Camry is boring compared to this car. The Lexus ES350 is 10K+ more for less car. Parked next to a 328i, not even close, the Accord just looks better. I cant believe, but its true. Havent been this excited over a car in such a long time. Its a little painful paying a few thousand more for a loaded 6 cly, but once you do, your will not regret it. The car will holds its value, and youll have lots of fun. Amazing. Fast. Luxurious.

  • First New Car - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I just bought this car in July (2008) and overall it is a beautiful car. It has nice styling resembling that of a BMW, with the hofmeister kinked window line, uncurved rear door outline, and bold lines. Its a comfortable ride and is very high quality. However, right after I bought it, my brakes were making a rumbling sound/feel, so I took it to the dealer and they installed new rear rotors under warranty. That just didnt seem right to me for a new car to have such an issue. Overall its a great buy for a family or individual who needs the space. The car is pretty large and bulky, though Thats not necessarily a bad thing.

  • Awesome - but the tranny sucks - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I really think this car would be one of the most perfect ones out there, BUT... the auto transmission in the 6cy lacks the spunk and the fun. Bad hesitation from 2-3 or what I call a lazy shift. Also a hesitation if you need to pass on the freeway too. Honda, Get this resolved and you will be on top with this car. One the good, not, the inside in the EX-L is awesome, I feels like a jet airplane cockpit. Fit and Finish is excellent as well.

  • new accord - 2008 Honda Accord

    Picked up an EX-L with nav. Much improved interior over older models. People complain about the center console but it becomes simpler each day. Very smooth drive with more power than the new altima 2.5s which i tested out

  • Get one now! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    Hondas got it right! Didnt care much for my 2002 Honda, was going for a Camry till I read reviews by unsatisfied owners on this Edmunds site. Got the Honda and love it. Great looks, great pickup. Bye Bye Camry (I had a good one before my 2002 Honda). Ill stay with Honda as long as they make cars as good as this 2008. Get one...youll like it. Gosh, Honda ought to pay me for this!

    This car has brake problems and transmission problems. Does not shift correctly; it gets stuck on 3rd gear.

  • Lovin it!! - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I just purchased my Polished Metal EX- L yesterday. Honda did a really nice job with this Accord. Acceleration is very quick for a 4 cylinder. The steering feel and handling of the car is athletic. The interior is great. The seats are supportive and the materials are great. Exterior styling, in my opinion is very attractive. Reminds me of a cross between an Acura RL and a BMW 5 series. I showed the car to a friend of mine and he commented that it was almost like a luxury car inside. He owns a BMW.

  • Wow - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased an 08 EX coupe a couple of weeks ago. It has been great. The car has great response and power for a 4 I really cant say enough about it. It came down to the Accord vs. Altima for me. The Altima coupe was a lot smaller and with its CVT you couldnt really enjoy driving if you know what I mean. The Accord coupe seems more next gen to me as well. I have been stopped with people telling me it looks like a BMW 6 series from the side. I didnt really like the back but it has grown on me. If I could improve anything it would probably be the audio system, and I even got the upgraded audio. They need to talk to BOSE or Infinity to partner with them for the sound systems.

  • 2nd Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my 2nd accord. I am changing from a 04 Maxima. It has excellent gas mileage drove from PHX to San on a half a gas of tank. Feels very light and responsive love the ability to be more agile. Ive gotten a lot of compliments even for just being a Accord. Have had no problems with blinking headlights.
