I have been driving my 2008 Accord V6 for a year now. I previously had an 05 Accord Coupe V6. Suspension is improved significantly almost matching German cars as well as the overall drive quality in the new Accord. Much better handling and solid feel on the road. However I have few complaints about the interior. Although the dash looks really high tech, quality of the material used is not even matching my 05 Accord coupe. Some of the buttons make a cracky noise when pushed. It is the same for aluminum looking trim on door handles. These make the same kind of noise when door is pulled also look cheap. Manuel mode is a must on transmission. Still at this pricepoint, Accord is a great deal.

The only cars I've ever owned have been Mustangs (last 2 were GT's). After having yet another problem with the 'stang, I decided to trade it in and drove past Honda. The minute I saw the Accord, I liked it. I doubted that the 4 cylinder would be enough power, but I test drove it and it's quick. It's no 8 cylinder GT, but it also gets double the gas mileage and so far, no problems. The major factor in my decision was that it's also recommended in Consumer Reports. I didn't want another pile of car crap that was going to give me issues, and Honda has an excellent reputation. The rear is not the most attractive, but I plan on getting a body kit installed, so it wasn't a factor.

Not all 10s

I have had the car for 13 months. I am a bit disappointed with the interior planning. The heated seat button on the driver side is obstructed by the hand brake and the mode button to change the heating and cooling is at the farthest reach of the control panel. Additionally, it is puzzling that despite the purchase of an EX-L you need to get a v6 just to get something as simple as a universal garage door opener. I have had Hondas and Acuras in the past and there used to be a distinct difference from domestics, that isn't so for this model.

I bought it on May 2008. This is my 2nd car after my '97 2D Toyota Tercel which was I bought from my friend was getting old and worn out. I was really impressed when I test drove it for the first time. It is really smooth drive. The interior and exterior are nice. I will keep this car. The gas mileage is awesome. Some reviewers were complaining about gas mileage. I don't see anything wrong it if you obey the speed limit and use cruise control on the highway. I can play my iPod because it came out with the aux jack. What I don't like from this car was the engine's emission system is very sensitive.

Not as quiet as a Lexus, but quiet enough. Not as cushy as a Lexus, but cushy enough. Not as fast as a 6cyl Lexus, but fast enough. Not as many bells and whistles as a Lexus, but plenty enough. But, almost $20,000 less, and that is very good enough. For the money, there is no better family sedan on the market. Most features are standard, and close enough to a luxury car, but for a lot less money. 15,000 miles in 6 months, and no problems to report.
