Great Car - Horrible Gas mileage

2008 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

The car is great. It looks and drives very well. Comfort inside is better than expected. Worst issue is Gas Consumption, this thing averages 18 MPG for city and hwy combined. This is with normal driving . Honda does not care or want to do anything about it. So beware, if you are trading in your V8 for a mileage vehicle, this is not it in my case.

Counting down to trade-in

This car is full of annoyances. Front seats are very uncomfortable. V6 VCM is a joke, 270HP feel more like 200, fuel economy is terrible and I can feel the car hesitate every time the VCM turns cylinders on/off. "Premium" stereo sounds mediocre at best, the average rental car has a better sounding system. Squeaks and rattles near the rear deck, sunroof, center console, passenger seat. Driver door exterior handle sticks. Constant road noise. No memory seats, no trip computer, can only display outside temp with trip odometer. Not what I would have expected from the EX-L. This will be my last Honda.

Great Ride but Rear Brakes a Problem

Over the past 15 years our family has owned 7 Honda Accords. They have all held up well with "routine" maintenance being the primary cost of repair. My 2008 Honda Accord EX is a pleasure to drive. Certainly a lot bigger than my 2004 but still a nice & sporty driving experience. The exterior styling was a winner for me. Overall comfort for me is above average (but I think I have the right body type). Only failing so far is the Rear Brake pads prematurely wearing at 22,000. Did not expect it!! So I got them replaced and called Honda to file a compliant. That's why my reliability rating is lower.

My fourth car, and my first Honda

I've owned three vehicles prior to my 08' Accord. My first love was a Malibu, my second was Olds Alero and finally my Isuzu Ascender. I enjoyed every vehicle but, I had problems with all of the in the first year. I have to say that my Honda by far has been the most reliable. It's quiet, get good gas mileage and looks clean inside and out. I love the new body style and the interior is a simple pleasure except for the center dash. Overall I have had minimal issues and the car performs like a champ. I believe it's in the top four cars for the price range. I don't think I could have made a wiser choice in a vehicle for a single guy or family vehicle for that matter. Best vehicle for the price!
