Used 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
Very impressive car
I came from a loaded Chevy Tahoe to the Accord. This is my second Honda and I am impressed by it. I bought it with splash guards and rear wing spoiler installed. The first 1/2 tank of gas yielded 25 mpg (city & hwy). Gas mileage is still getting better though. Hopefully I'll be able to consistently stay in the high 20's. It sure beats the 15.5mpg I was getting with my Tahoe. Build quality is excellent and everything is intuitive. Sure there are a lot of buttons at first but you learn to focus on what you want to change and it becomes easier with time. I don't even have to look at them much anymore, I just know which area to go to in order to change functions. Very happy with it!
am I missing something?
As a previous 05 v6 EXL owner I was excited when I first saw the new 08 Accords. We purchased a V6 EX-L after a 3 minute test drive as our replacement "beater/mileage drive to the city car" (My signifacant other and I also drive an 08 BMW535xi and an 07 E350) For slightly under $28K this new Accord sucks! Road noise on even the slightest bumps, uncomfortable ride, hollow tin-ny sounding and poor material quality on the interior. We have been huge fans of the Accords since the 86-89 series and feel this is by far the worst example and no doubt our last. I know we can't compare to our other cars but this car has really gotten "cheap" feeling. This car is not a keeper for us.

Best Everyday Sedan Overall
The 190 hp 4 cylinder is plenty strong enough for most driving conditions. In typical Honda fashion, it likes to rev and gets downright entertaining at 4000- 7100 redline. My last two cars were "fast" (WRX, TL) and I got this because my family got larger. On occasion, I do miss the power of the aforementioned vehicles, but the transmission is up to the task. I like the grade logic control and it seems like a very intuitive transmission (knows what I want to do). Overall, I am very satisfied on all fronts. I prefer the nav joystick over a touchscreen for cleanliness. Additionally, the set back nav screen is nice, and within a quick glance of my sightline.
new accord
Picked up an EX-L with nav. Much improved interior over older models. People complain about the center console but it becomes simpler each day. Very smooth drive with more power than the new altima 2.5s which i tested out
I may buy two!
My 2008 Honda Accord continues to impress me every time I start the engine. There is an amazing comfort level with this car. Comfort based on the quality and attention to detail Honda efficiently packs into this newly reclassified full size car. Talk about your bang for a buck, you get it with the Accord. From the overall exterior styling, the leather interior, dashboard, moon roof, engine, wheels, tires, and even the trunk you get nothing less than quality. I am extremely happy with my purchase and because I hate to share this car with the wife I am now scrambling to realign my budget to make a move on the coupe or maybe just another sedan.
