  Excellent Vehicle - 2008 Honda Accord
  By GF - December 11 - 1:12 pm

  I purchased my Accord new, it now has 102,000 miles and is eight years old. I replaced the rear brakes twice during the first 30,000 miles of ownership. The front brakes are the original brakes (hard to believe). The rear brakes have not been replaced since the redesign (70,000 miles on the rear pads). The only other problems Ive had are the sway bar bushings and the SRS module. The SRS module was replaced by the dealer free of charge even though the car had over 100,000 miles (Thank you Fisher Honda, Harry Snyder is the best service representative I have ever encountered). The car has never burned a drop of oil and handles all elements well here in Colorado with Nokian WRG3 tires. Its been a very comfortable car overall, however the road noise is high compared to other vehicles in its class. In fact, my only significant complaint is the road noise. Ive considered replacing it, but it just drives too well to replace. It drives almost the same as when I drove it off the lot, Ill probably keep it 2-3 more years as long as it remains trouble free. Just a great car.

  My 08 Coupe best car ever bought8/ - 2008 Honda Accord
  By jezebellejizz - January 11 - 3:13 pm

  Fonda (as in Fonda the Honda) is one of the bet cars Ive ever purchased. I was a little surpsied that the road noise was a bit more predominant than it should have been considering this was a gosh darn $29,000 purchase brand new, loaded up to the teets and all. My only complaint is the junky paint quality. I swear even looking at the car makes scratches appear. That is ridiculous and Ive spent almost $2,000 in 5 years fixing Fondas scratches, dings, blemishes and it really sucks.....but on other hand, she is black and I knew what I was in for....p.s. I keep saying no more black cars but this is the 3rd in a row....still, the paint should be better [non-permissible content removed]!

  08 accord coupe V6 AT - 2008 Honda Accord
  By butler1985 - July 24 - 7:27 pm

  Bought the car used with two other owners before me. Had 68k miles. Test drove it twice, and did not notice a weird shuttle in 2nd and 3rd gear. After using the car to drive to work which is 38 miles away I noticed a transmission problem. Took it to dealer and they said they could not find a problem but offered a software update for the transmission. The update was $110 and DID fix the problem. I didnt think it would but its been 4 days of driving and have not done it one time. I do love the car, its fun for someone how does not consider the accord coupe to be a performance car, it is not but gives a good feel for one.

  Its great! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By carfreak17 - March 31 - 11:12 am

  I think its a great overall car, it looks great, hauls ass! Gets good mileage, and me and my wife find it very comfortable. Doesnt matter what vehicle you buy, your bound to have something fail or break. People need to remember that people build vehicles in plants where there mass assembled, so theres going to be some lazy people or accidents made when they built them. Sometimes you get a lemon, but with a Honda your pretty much getting a very well built car! Myself and all people I know that own a Honda have way less problems than people that own other vehicle brands. My only complaint is the heated seat option doesnt get very warm.

  Still a great car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By azsoonerfan - May 2 - 12:20 pm

  Bought my accord new back in July 2008. Currently have about 75,000 miles. This has a been a great car so far. The engine is smooth and has plenty of pull. It is a comfortable car for road trips, we frequenlty make a 5-6 hour drive to California with two small childern in the back, plenty of room for everyone. Still love the design of the car, has the look of a 5 series BMW. We average about 23mpg, mostly city driving. On the hwy, I have gotten up to 29mpg (setting the cruise to about 80mph). Here are the issues with this car. First, the door trim pops loose all the time, a quick push and it is back on, but a little annoying. Second, the rear brakes wear out too quickly.

  Awesome alternative to BMW/Audi - 2008 Honda Accord
  By cvdood - March 9 - 10:12 pm

  Having been a Honda owner for 10yrs I wanted a change but didnt want to put up with the excessive cost of ownership of the Euro entry-luxe cars. I was going to replace my 4door Accord with the gorgeous Lexus IS350 but found this beauty on the lot and on the very first drive was sold. So much different than the 4door, super sporty, great looks and that engine, revs upto 8000rpm and begs to be driven hard. IMHO this is the only real life alternative to the mustang if youre looking for a sporty coupe with an eye towards your wallet and the resale value when youre ready for something new.

  Honda Padding the dealers pocket - 2008 Honda Accord
  By ramjet1 - November 22 - 12:29 pm

  Great car with two noted exceptions. Road noise. As the top model for the Honda line I expected it to be quieter. My Nissan Frontier pick-up has a quiter cockpit. Exception #2 putting a rubber timing belt on an the V6 engine is planned obsolesence, and requiring it to be replaced at 60,000 miles. All this does is pad the Honda dealers pockets. Why is it necessary for Honda to give back money to the dealer? They build a great car but engineeer in a requirement that forces you back to the delaer every 60K to change the belt. That change is $700 + in 2011.

  08 V6 Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By carlos_zuniga1 - November 1 - 2:04 am

  I bought this car used with 20,000 miles this car now has 62,500 miles. Its been a pleasure to drive. Reliability is incredible I have spent $0 dollars on repairs besides regular maintains (oil changes). I love the sound system. The power is decent but a bit under power for its size in my opinion a 300HP engine would be ideal. The ride is smooth but not as a Toyota. The car handles awesome for being a sedan. The navigation gets the job done. Center counsel is good but has too many buttons. The car sits 5 bodies (including driver) comfortably the leg room is huge. Tech package comes handy. I average 22mpg mixed driving 18 city and 28 highway. Over all i am satisfied with the car.
