Overview & Reviews

Few vehicles from overseas manufacturers have garnered as much respect in North America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this status by being glamorous, sexy or thrilling. Instead, Honda just seems to have its finger on the pulse of what Americans value most. Take an Accord for a spin and you'll find it to be comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. It's also backed by strong resale value and a solid reputation for reliability.

You'll find that certain competing sedans and coupes are quicker, more prestigious or simply less expensive than the Accord. What's special about the Honda Accord, though, is its completeness. It scores well across a broader range of categories than practically any family-friendly sedan or coupe on the market. When examined from this holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why the Accord has become an automotive icon and remains one of our editors' top recommendations.

  I love driving this car. It is stylish, quick and a great ride. I do not understand why there is not more positive noise about this car.

  Great Car!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Joe - May 28 - 7:26 pm

  This is a smooth car. I previously owned a 98 Avalon, and found the seats more comfortable than the Honda. The seats in the Honda are more firm. I found the Accord to handle better than the Camry. I test drove them back to back. I commute 25 miles to work, 90% highway, and average 24 to 27mpg depending how I drive. I recently drove 300 miles one way with my wife and 2 kids. The trunk was packed full of luggage. The cruise was set at 70 mph and got 31.3 mpg. I did not do as well on the way back because of Wisconsin cold weather and wind, but averaged 28 mpg over 600 miles including 50 miles driving around Milwaukee. The VCM works best with no hills, and I find it to be nearly seamless.

  Excellent Buy - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Tom M - May 28 - 11:33 am

  Does everything well. Sharp looking car at a reasonable price. Getting over 27 mpg in mostly highway use. Steering nice and tight, seats a little stiff but comfortable. Interior is very roomy, and I can sit comfortably in the rear seat at 62". Good trunk space, nice finish and materials in both the interior and exterior. Smooth ride, Have not noticed any excessive road noise on the highway as described by other buyers. Plenty of acceleration in the 190 hp version. Typical Honda, does many things well.

  2008 Honda Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Mark S. - May 26 - 9:40 pm

  I have had my 2008 Accord EX-V6 for about 1 month. I have put about 1400 miles on it so far and I absolutely love it. It is my first Honda automobile and I dont think it will be my last unless this one lasts forever. It is getting better than 25 mpg combined highway/city driving. The styling inside and out is beautiful. The power of this V6 is incredible. I am 6-2" and I have plenty of leg & head room in the front & rear. To have this kind of power/fuel mileage/styling & comfort is unbelievable. I know the reliability will good because that is the reputation that Honda has always had. As far as I am concerned, Honda has hit a homerun with the new 2008 Accord.

  No Regrets For Me!! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Totoyotanomore - May 26 - 10:00 am

  As a long time Toyota Camry owner, it was difficult to switch brands. Im not disappointed! I purchased a 2004 EX-V6 with a rear wing spoiler for $700 under invoice. The engine is quiet, powerful, and easy on gas. 25 mpg in mixed driving. Very impressive! I got the same gas mileage on my 96 Camry, 4 cylinder, and only half the horsepower (120 hp vs. 240hp). Smooth shifting transmission, intelligent control layout, precise handling, and quiet cabin. Standard safety features: ABS brakes, dual front air bags, side curtain air bags, and security system. A comparably equipped Camry would have cost me thousands more.

  A Welcome Change - 2005 Honda Accord

  After many years in a SUV, this was a welcome change!! Nice road handling. Nice acceleration for highway on- ramps! Surprisingly quiet inside. Well see how it does in the snow...
