2008 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
After researching several sedans in this category, I zeroed in on Accord. overall I am a happy camper. In the first two weeks of my driving, I averaged around 29MPG in mixed driving conditions. not bad for a big car. I would guess around 33 in pure highway driving. The interior room is enormous. All the safety features are standard in all Accords unlike Toyota where you have to pay for some. I selected EX-L, since I wanted leather, premium audio, dual climatic control and heated mirrors. these features were once the holy grail of luxury cars. 190 HP engine is a good compromise for performance and fuel economy. My biggest gripe on this car is the road noise. Honda can do much better with this

Right from the start, I began having problems. The driver's seat does not adjust properly and the factory and dealership would not change it which gave me lots of back aches. Gas mileage is horrible on highway at 21 mpg. Driver's seat does not go back far enough. Engine performance is very lacking. This car has the 6-4-3 eco system. Do not buy it. When gas pedal is floored abruptly, the engine pauses for several seconds then slowly gains speed. The transmission does not downshift properly... If you're in drive and you decide to floor the gas pedal at 10 mph, the transmission stays in 3rd gear and does not shift lower unless you do it manually. Will not buy another Honda unless changes.

I just purchased my EX 4 days ago and all I can say is it is a gorgeous car. I did my homework and test drove many cars including the Nissan Altima 2.5S and Toyota Camry SE and LE. First off the paint finish on the silver Accord was by far the best. The interior design was much nicer. The Altima had the best transmission and extras like intelligent key but the dashboard was ugly and the paint seemed thin and had bigger blind spots. The Camry was a close second but I really liked the Accord's look better I got the Accord for $600 under invoice with the help of edmunds.com. The Accord has a distinct tightness when driving and a solid resale value. A+++++

Had the car a year. Great gas mileage for a v-6. Terrible rattle in a/c- heater area, sounds like a Ping-Pong ball bouncing around inside when a/c is on. Noticed it a couple months after buying & after several trips to dealer, they duplicated noise and replaced heater sub-assembly. Noise went away, until couple weeks ago and it's back. Very annoying. Hoping to hear from someone experiencing same problem - looking for help.

2nd set of brakes at 50,000 miles. NEVER ever had this problem with any car I owned, let alone Accords. No change in driving habits. At $700+ a brake job, it adds up. Miss my 2004 Accord. Sold with 200,000 miles 1.5 years ago and I still see it around town. At year end, I'll look at the Lexus.

Excellent car! Have put on 6000 miles, so far, very good. Smooth, not as loud as some indicated. 4 cyl 190 HP engine, best in class. Very good mileage, getting about 28 mpg combined highway, and I have a heavy foot. Drives more like a BMW, but a fraction of the cost. Loaded with just about everything you think of. Past Honda Accord driver, no doubt, this is the best they produced. Very tight, runs great, very comfortable to drive. Compared to many sedans in this market, and all are very good cars. The accord comes out on top.

I was so happy when I first got my new accord. Soon after I bought it, I started experiencing some issues. First my remote didn't want to work most of the time. Then even when I didn't press on the gas it would start gassing while I was in park. Then I had to replace my rear brake pads. I have kept up with my service but when I start the car it makes a rattling noise. I owned a 94 Honda accord before this and I was never disappointed. Wondering if I should just trade the car in to protect my family.
Best Honda I have ever owned.

Have owned several Honda Accords before and the new design was really interesting. One test drive convinced us it was a superb car for us, I am 6'1" and it has lots of leg room. Traded in a 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited that depreciated too fast for my comfort zone. The 2008 Accord EX-L with 190 hp 4 cyl is a powerful driving experience. It gave me 25.3 mpg on the 3rd tank of fuel over both city and highway driving. Leather seats are very comfortable. My car is silver with black leather. Exterior design is handsome and a decided change from previous years. Added color matching body side molding for extra protection from careless door openers. A really super vehicle.

I love Hondas. The best cars for the money. Only compared to Toyotas, but better Looking. I've owned two prior Hondas, a 04 Acura TSX, and a 06 Civic Si. As much as I love this brand. I hate to admit that they have loud interiors. My TSX and Si were like that but I attributed this to the low profile tires. I had heard this being an issue with all Honda models, and it is an issue with the current Accord.

I have found the Honda Accord to be an awesome car. I have never owned a Honda before, but really have found it to be great. The room inside the car is outstanding. I am 6 ft 7in tall and have plenty of room. My family of 5 can comfortably ride in this car.

This is the third Honda I have owned and by far the worst of the three. There has been a problem with fuel injectors going out, I have had the #4 injector replaced twice already. There is a very annoying vibration in the car at highway speeds that the dealer can not correct or identify.

Seriously, reading some of these petty reviews makes me realize that NO CAR would make these picky people happy. Here's a REAL REVIEW. This car is everything you would want in an everyday, modest car. The car is comfortable and QUIET. Even in Chicago, Pothole-laden roads..bumps are feather light and I could fall asleep driving. The Hands free is great. Had to buy a new phone since my old one wasn't compatible. No big deal The car is huge and very comfortable. My lower back was sore after a 5 hours drive to STL. Body wasn't used to seats like if you bought a new mattress. I get 27 mpg - 31mpg. Take the time to break the car in correctly. be gentle.

Yup! I couldn't resist so we just picked up my, I repeat my, Accord this week. Even with all my previous complaining I added the Navigation option and I have to say it is very nice, but still overpriced. The Accord has a tremendous environment. I purposely take the long way to destinations. I notice that I now drive with a big smile on my face. What a car! I did test drive the coupe and found it too confining due to an almost 2" difference in headroom. I did not like the interior door moldings that covered the door controls. All in all, per Honda's website, the sedan has 19 advantages over the coupe so my decision was a no-brainer and I have never regretted my decision.

This car looks ugly in person. It looks better on magazine. The headlights and trunk is ugly design. Had this car for 2 months and sold it. Took two hours trip to the mountain. This car has two problems. Has horrible road noise coming into the car and headlights is NOT bright enough. I don't recommend this car for the price. Nissan Altima is better car.

I have owned my Accord for about 6 weeks and am fairly satisfied with the car. A big disappointment was that the brake rotors were warped with only 125 miles on it. The dealer turned the rotors and all is OK now, but it makes me wonder if Honda's quality is slipping. These are my thoughts: Pros: Fun to drive, fairly roomy, looks good, gas mileage is OK (28 MPG combined), but not as good as Honda advertises. Cons: Most uncomfortable seats in any vehicle I have ever owned. Even though the seat is powered, it will not adjust low enough in the front to keep pressure off the back of my thighs. The seat is also very hard and becomes unbearable after a couple of hours driving.
Love it -So happy, better than Camry!!!

After driving a 2003 Toyota Camry for 5 years happily, I was sure to I was going to replace it with another Camry. However after checking out the '09 Camry, I was disappointed with the quality of the interior and outdated dash . After seeing the Honda Accord, I was thrilled. I purchased a new 2008 Honda Accord LXP 4 door in Metal Polish Metallic color -at invoice price. LXP version includes alloyed wheels, anti theft device, chrome tail pipe + more. Don't be afraid to ask for invoice price or less- for any auto + ask for "extras". It's a buyer's market!
Rattles and Squeaks

I have had my car in the shop six times in the past two months to have various rattles and squeaks fixed and still haven't been able to clear them up. There are rattles coming from the rear of the car, even when I drive on smooth roads. The center console around the shift knob squeaks as well. The Honda dealer has not been helpful at all, usually ignoring my requests and not able to "find" the noises that I hear every day. Their response is that I have to expect to hear the noises as Honda doesn't use good insulation on their car bodies. I will keep that in mind when I shop for another car after Christmas.

I purchased this car because the amount of time I spend on the road, I need a comfortable car that is reliable. I have in the past had 4 Hondas, all have been excellent cars. My last Honda was an 05 Civic. I changed to a GM and the resale value was HORRIBLE, as well as the build quality was poor. I decided to go back to Honda as even with high mileage they keep their value. This car is comfortable, loaded with options and every one that gets into it loves it. I imagine I will have this car for a full 5 yrs. In the past I had an 89 accord-400,000 miles out of it, a 93 civic 587,000 miles on it and an 05 civic which I sold for 2,000 less than I bought it for with 100,000 on it. LOVE HONDAS!!

The 2008 Honda Accord Sedan EXL Navi is a great daytime driving car. You can relax and drive for hours and still feel refreshed at the end of the trip. Night driving can be dangerous though. The headlights flicker every 16 seconds, making the drive stressful and tiresome. This flickering makes it harder to focus on the obstacle head. It's important to note that this problem is common on all 2008 Honda Accords. The instrumentation is not user friendly at first but once you learn how to use the basic voice commands it becomes acceptable. It's also a good conversation subject. The Accord's interior look and feel great. Lots of room and very comfortable.

I have had my Accord for 7 months, just about 9,400 miles. I love it! I have had NO problems with it. I haven't had any back pain from the seats, maybe these people exceed the seat weight limit? My lights aren't flickering and there is no rattling. I don't think the engine is loud but that can be a matter of opinion. My basis for comparison were Hondas, Nissans and Toyotas all of which I have owned over the years.

I traded in my 2006 Volkswagen 2.0 turbo Passat for my new 2008 Honda Accord. I fell in love with all the goodies. Leather, Satellite radio, sun roof, and the 17 alloy wheels. For the money it was a bargain..I got the car for $24,900. Which is about 5 thousand less for a comparable new Passat. The cabin of the Honda is roomy for two adults and three kids. The seats are comfortable, and there is ample leg room in the front and rear. I also dig the lumbar support on the drivers seat. The ride quality is smooth and quiet. And there are no rattles or noises even on rough roads. The car has a certain European look especially when viewed from the side and rear.It looks like a 5 series.
Love my Accord!

After driving a '99 Olds Alero for 9 years and having something break on a monthly basis, owning this car is a dream! I absolutely love it! I also looked at Camry and the new Acura TSX, but the Accord is a class above Camry in my opinion and why pay $5000 more for the TSX when it is virtually identical to the Accord? The exterior and interior is more reflective of European styling and it looks amazing. I generally keep my vehicles 8-10 years and look forward to owning this one that long.

I just bought this 08 Accord and I love this car. I had an 03 Civic and I am glad that I updated to the Accord. The features on this thing is excellent (nav, XM, mp3, dvd, bluetooth and great sound system) so don't test drive this car unless you want to buy it because you will fall in love.

Bought this car after having 7 Toyotas. Liked the looks and the value. However there are some issues. There is a white substance that comes through the heater/AC vents on the dash. Dealer has no idea what is causing this. States he will get back to me after talking to the factory, but so far nothing. Also the EX-L 4 cyl. needs power seats on the passenger side. Feels like your riding on the floor. Thought gas mileage would be better. Only getting 23 combined highway/city. My wife's Camry 4 cyl. gets 28 mostly city driving.
Fun to drive, but uncomfortable!!!

I like my Accord very much, but had I known the drivers seat was so uncomfortable I would have never bought it. It's really hard to tell when you take a car for a 10 minute test drive, but now that I own it, I can't drive for more than an hour without back pain (I'm only 26!). And forget the so called "lumbar support". You'd be better off putting a brick behind your back (whats in that seat, iron?). Overall, I have no other complaints about the car. I did have one experience during a winter snowstorm when the check engine light came on. Took it to the shop and by that time, it was already off and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Fun to drive, stylish, etc.

Overall experience has been very good. The cars ride and styling are very nice. I do have to agree with other reviews in several areas, excessive road noise and the VCM is very noticeable. If I could turn off the VCM I would and sacrifice the 1 mpg. Come on Honda...would installing a little insulation for the road noise hurt your bottom line that much.

I love my 2008 Honda Accord EX- L with only 1 exception. The rear brakes need to be replaced every year. Honda has a Major problem with their rear brakes. Just do a simple search on the internet and you will found thousands of complaints about the rear brakes going out in their new car any where from 6 -18 months. Honda still will not admit to the problem and I still have to shell out $250 bucks every time to fix the brakes.

Had to replace my rear breaks at 22k miles. According to Honda it is normal. I get about 24 MPG and 7500-9000 miles per oil change. Tires are in great condition after 34k miles on them, should last another 30-35k.

Overall a solid car: big, roomy, handles very well and holds a family of four. I brought my 2008 Honda in April 2008 and have not had any issues with the brakes. I checked my rear brakes three months ago and they look OK. Uneven rear brake wear where the inside pad wears prematurely indicates a problem. Regular use of the parking brake should SET the rear inner brake pads. I believe that is the cause for all the brake problems. I had a 1994 Honda accord and the rear pads wear at about 40000 miles and the front at 60000 miles.

I waited until 1,000 miles to write this, but I still love the car. My experience has been nothing like what some other reviews posted. The car is solid, beautiful, comfortable, fuel efficient and big enough for my family of 5 (7,8 and 3 1/2 year olds in the back). Everyone loves the way it rides and we took it to the lake (3 1/2 hours) without a single complaint of comfort. The trunk is huge. Overall, this is a great value. I thought I would end up the Camry, but I was really disappointed in the "fun to drive" category. Pity.

Purchased my 4dr EXL V6 2 weeks ago. Have put approx 175 highway miles on it. VCM/Tranny on highway are very noticable to the point it is annoying. The VCM/Tranny switching back and forth make you wonder what the car is doing all the time. Seats are stiff but once adjusted seem to become more comfortable. Suspension/driving are better than past Accords and engine has plenty of power. Overall an improvement over older Accords but VCM/Tranny issues have me concerned about the longetivity of this car.

I didn't notice it when I did the test drive but after driving the car I realized I really made a big mistake here. The seat is extremely uncomfortable. My back is in pain each time I get out of the car. I have no complaints about anything else. In fact, I love the car just wish Honda wouldn't have made such horrible seats. Seriously, there is a metal plan that will stick right into your back. I called Honda and they said it was there for safety. I think it is just really bad design. Just make sure to take a really long test drive.

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!

I've owned two Camrys and two Avalons and all were great cars. Never considered an Accord because they were smaller. However, 2008 Accord is bigger so I took a look. After a test drive, I was sold. The car is very comfortable, the steering is tight and precise. Similar to what you'd find in a higher priced sports sedan. The navigation system and bluetooth are great and easy to use. Between the AM-FM and XM radio, the 6 disc changer and MP3 plug- in, I have "entertainment overload". On top of this, I'm averaging 34 mpg highway. The only complaint is that there is a pronounced road noise on rough roads. Overall, best car ever. If you're thinking of buying one, just do it.

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.

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 Purchase

Rear pads replaced at 30,0000 miles and I am easy on brakes. Remote battery dies in one year. Car rattles but Honda dealer can't find it. Very uncomfortable seat; metal bar in seat ripped through padding and fabric. Not up to Honda's reputation.
Brakes at 21K??? C'mon!!

I have had my Accord for almost 18 months. I have had no problems to speak of and the 4 cyl is incredible for a 4 cyl. My only complaint is I had to get brakes at 21,000 miles. Honda service said this was normal and because my town is pretty hilly I believed them. But after reading here, I'm a little ticked off. Honda definitely needs to do something as people who read these reviews might rule these cars out in their purchasing decision.
This is a Honda?

We picked up our new Accord today and all i have to say is WOW. We traded in our '04 Jetta and happy to see it go. The car drives amazing. We have looked at everything and we made the right decision with the Accord. IT could have a little bit more power, but over all its great. The Navigation is amazing. Its better than the one in our Z06, and that car is $60,000 more. It has all the features of a BMW and a lot less. I would recommend this car to anyone. There is some road noise, which many people have complained about, but the car makes up for it in everything else.
Rattles

I love the car except for the rattles from the passenger side. I noticed the compartment under the glove box was not snapped shut properly so fixed that but it still rattles worse than my 2001 Nissan Sentra on certain road surfaces. Great handling and acceleration though.
