Traded in my 2006 Accord SE. Loved it. The driver seat in the 2008 is much more comfy. Pick-up is much worse. Stereo sound quality is worse. There is much more room in the 08. Ride noise is similar. Tires on the 06 were of better quality - I got over 80,000 on my 06 Michelins. So it's a mixed bag. Overall, I'm satisfied. The 08 is a nice car and still offers the best combination of size and fuel efficiency.
2008 Accord Still a Great Car

We leased two 2006 Accords, and we kept one and traded one for a 2008 Accord. all three of these cars were 4 cylinder models. The 2008 model acceleration from standing start is about the same as the 2006. However, the '08 has better high speed acceleration. The gas mileage on the highway is about the same for both models. We average between 31 and 34 on highway trips with both cars. Local mileage with the '08 has been about 24 mpg, and about 25 mpg with the '06's that we've leased. The '08 is more comfortable and handles quite a bit better than the very good experience we had with the '06's. All three of these recent Accords have been totally satisfactory cars.

See my previous review 3-17-08. Only update is after about 5k miles the fuel mileage is less than I had anticipated. It is about 5 mpg less than the 2003 Honda V6 (previously owned)and about 8 mpg less than the 2006 Honda V6 (still own). Had I known what gas prices were going to do I might have opted for a more fuel efficient car.

I test drove a Camry and a Sonata before deciding on the Accord 4cyl LX - P. The Sonata was not very good with the details. The seat cover was coming out in between the seats. The engine was alright. The Camry was quiet, but that was it. The interior was boring and felt like a 5 year old design. The transmission shift point was hesitant as well. The Accord felt lively, sportier and I felt fit and finish was the best. I'm averaging about 28 mpg so far on 7 fill ups. I like its looks and room as well.

I've had 2 Accords before this one, both of them were 2002, and both were leagues better than this one. This car had rattles at 500 miles and has horrible performance even for a four cylinder. The car hesitates when accelerating. When paying 22k for a new car, it should be solid and not have any squeaks or rattles. I am very disappointed with this car. On top of all this, I get horrible gas mileage; in city driving I get 15-16 mpg. Apparently the car isn't broken in yet, but I know someone who has a new 4 cyl Accord which is past the break-in period, and he also gets around 17 mpg. I would NOT recommend this car to anyone. Go for the Camry; I test drove it, and it's much better than this car
