Used 2008 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Great Car
Have approximately 500 miles so far. No problems. Handles great, good mileage, and wonderful ride. Stereo sounds is excellent. XM is a real plus. Don't particularly like the daytime running lights. Would like to turn them off. However understand they are a safety item. Center instrument panel hard to read in bright daylight Was looking at new Nissan Coupe also, but purchased Honda because of larger interior.
My second Accord
The 4 cyl. coupe is fun to drive, steers exactly where you aim it. The engine has very good pick up, especially from a start, and outstanding passing power from 30 mph up, gets 25 mpg. But the suspension is stiff, the car does not sway in tight turns, but you feel every bump. The interior is really noisy unless the road surface is smooth. The driver's seat is nice but restrictive, holds you in one place. The tilt steering lock is stiff and hard to set, sometimes it takes two hands to lock it in place. The radio sounds great, the air conditioning is excellent and the brakes are really positive. Overall a really nice car.

Fantastic Value!
The value of this vehicle is great. To pay under $30,000 and get a vehicle that looks and feels like a $50,000 is right up my alley. The redesign pushed this car up a level as far as I'm concerned. I had a 2005 Accord EX and loved it but my new 2008 Accord EXL blows that car our of the water. It feels safe, performs well, looks fantastic and gets decent gas mileage for its size. I would absolutely recommend this car to anyone looking for an upscale sedan but cant afford to spend $40,000 - $50,000.
You Can't Go Wrong
Have had my Accord for 3 months. Was going to buy new Explorer but gas prices changed my mind. Once I test drove this car I was hooked. For a 4 cylinder car I am surprised at the comfortable and peppy drive. Recently went to Cape Cod and averaged 34mpg. Overall, I've been averaging about 25 mpg. For the money, I do not think you can find a better value. The nav system is great. Also test drove the Altima. It was a tough decision, but the Accord is a better looking car and slightly bigger.
First Car
Son just graduated from college and chose this car for his first car purchase. It's a black beauty with comfy leather seats. Interior very high end, exterior very upscale look. I like the coupe style better than sedan. Having previously owned two Lexus vehicles, I think this is a comparable car at a much better price. Also, I'm impressed with all the safety features. Sound system is great too. Now I'm jealous of my son's car, maybe I'll part with my 2001 Subaru Forester and get myself a Honda!!
