It's perfect for a second car. It has served me well. I'm buying one of the new cars with the safety features. Car has spent the last 8 winters in Florida.

So my 2008 Honda Accord I bought back in 2014 on my birthday with 76000 miles I paid close to $15,000 total after everything which I think was a fair price here we are 5 years later 2019 the car now has today 242,000 the car has been a very well taken care of and well-maintained by me and it has been a great car although I had to put some work into it but that is no surprise all cars need maintenance first major repair was a recall by Honda for oil consumption at 125000 miles to engine was reconstructed with new piston rings in new timing chain I changed the starter and a 175000 miles 200,000 miles I change to front ball joints into front axles around 230000 miles I change the alternator. Of course regular brakes rotors and tires I have done a lot in the city of Boston where I'm from but I also do a lot of Highway as well I have taken the car as far as the Florida Keys there and back drove perfect no problem so to sum it all up I am pleased with my vehicle it's the third car I've owned and I'm a Honda driver for life

I purchased my Honda as a more affordable alternative to an Audi A5 and BMW 3 (now 4)Series coupe. The exterior of this car is sharp (especially in the Belize Blue Pearl). The exterior design has aged very well. The interior design has aged very well and I find the button layout to be very logical. I was surprised to see so much hard plastic on the dash at this price range ($30k +), but visually it looks good. The car has way too much road noise however. The car has a taunt but comfortable ride, which gives it a sporty premium feel I like. The engine has tons of power once your hit 3000 rpm, but below that its pretty gutless. Fuel economy is right in line with EPA estimates.
Great vehicle, "BUT?"

You can't miss with a Honda Accord. Only issue is that Honda is side stepping a issue that is prevalent in the Honda's. The VTC actuator is a fault that Honda is pushing off to the consumer. This problem requires taking your Honda to the dealer to be replaced, someone is getting rich, when all Honda has to do is issue a recall instead of a TSB, which means you the consumer repair it at your expense.

Bought the 2008 Honda Accord V6 late in 08 & really thought this was a car that would be built good & solid. In November 2013 it was missing when I would stop so I took it to be looked at the local garage. They mentioned that Honda has had a lot of trouble with these V6's & that they don't even suggest buying a Honda anymore when someone asks for a reliable car. They had checked it out & replaced the #3 plug which from the posts on line, this is a common problem. So after getting home I looked online as to the problem with these & find that they start burning oil. This seemed total crazy, a car burning oil before, say 100K? In the old days yes but newer cars? Some had said they were putting
