Probably the best sedan in 2008

I owned this car for only a week, but I am pleasantly surprised by its performance and build quality. The 190 HP engine is more than enough power that I needed. I have compared all sedans in this category feature to feature and believe me: none of the others can match Honda Accord's price point for the same features. It gives a sporty driving feel and offers a very comfortable Highway ride. Some people complained about noise. But the fact is typical Honda has more overall noise than say a Toyota. But it is quite tolerable. In fact if you turn on your radio, you don't even feel it. I have done comparisons with similarly equipped hybrids, but I still can't justify the cost at even $5 a gallon

No Longer Accord Fan

2008 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I have owned three Accords and by far this is the worst vehicle. The VCM system is horrible. I now have 5,000 miles and the situation is getting worse. You don't notice it until you reach cruising speed between 65-70 MPH. The ECO light is on but the car continues to fight between cylinder selection. This surge feeling actually makes you feel sick at times. I looked at the Chevy Malibu and decided to stick with Honda due to previous experience. I made a big mistake..!

Very Dissatisfied

This is my first Honda. Purchased it 4 months ago and am already looking to trade. The seats are extremely uncomfortable. There is an excessive amount of road noise and it's a very bumpy ride for a brand new car! Also, control panel is awkward. Loud rattling in the back when going over bumps and constantly squeaking brakes: the Honda mechanic told me both were normal and couldn't fix. The whole car just feels cheap.

Spoiled by Hondas

I had an '98 Acura 3.0CL on which I put 175,000 miles. Since Acura no longer makes coupes, I went with the Honda because I've been spoiled. The 3.5 in the Honda is very similar to the 3.0 I had. I loved that engine and it was easy to work on so my choice was easy. So far, I love this engine too although it's different with VCM. Honda says the VCM works seamlessly but my experience is a little different. When it goes to 4 cylinders, you can't feel it. When it goes to 3, you can. When it goes back to 6, you can't feel it unless you're pulling a grade. It's not objectionable and the increase in mpg is worth it (22-23 city, 28-30 hwy). Watch out for a blind spot on the passenger side.
