Almost Perfect

First Honda and it is no disappointment. Rides and handles very well, goes where you aim it with a very, very smooth transmission. Not what I would call exciting to drive, but very nice to drive. Interior and exterior design is attention getting. More than enough power to do what you need and lots of luxury features. Quality seems to be top notch in general. It is not broken in yet (only had it a week) and it is getting over 27 mpg combined. For me it was the best combination of price, fuel economy, power, handling and styling. Other cars in the class are kind of boring.

Love this car! I was slightly concerned about all the reviews with the seats being uncomfortable. I love the seats-they are supportive. The car drives really well. I have not noted the headlights flashing like other reviews. More power than the Camry, more trunk space than the Camry. Very comfortable, sporty. Love it!

Not quite satisfied

2008 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I've owned my car about a year. The ride is good but too much road noise. The engine has given me no problems other than lag time after the pedal is depressed. Gas mileage is at it's highest 24 mpg usually 22 mpg hwy. Interior is good but has quite a few rattles. Suspension is good. Handling predictable. Brakes have had rotors replaced due to vibration. There has been a click when placed in gear in the front CV joints no support from dealership. I bought a Honda because I've owned several that were great cars. This one has great looks but more issues than the previous.

Best car

2008 Honda Accord LX-P 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Bought LX-P for 22000. I usually only bought buicks since 1995, but they didn't last. I drive about 36k miles a year. The Accord is a great car, quiet, and i wouldn't trade it for anything. Camry vs. Accord, hands down Accord, test drove both. The Accord is so large, comforting, and easy to understand radio system. I currently have 45k on the car, and no problems. I also own a '08 Sentra w. 31k on it, and the Accord would beat it in every way possible, any day. I got into an accident w. the Accord, a Jetta's brakes failed and crashed into me at 35 MPH. The Accord's bumper had some scratches while the Jetta had to be towed! Great safety. it is so good, i would recommend to my enemies!

Chose this Accord after viewing several endorsements, mainly from Consumer Reports. Have owned a couple Hondas in the past and I still have an Odyssey 2002 that runs fine. Did not test drive it. The engine is fine, appreciate some of its newly design features. The inside is a total different matter. Rattles and noises showed up after a few days and it has been downhill ever since. I am not talking about expected noise levels, I wish! Sounds like the very structure in the inside has so many imperfections that you get a concert of annoying noises. I am losing money for I will change this car very soon.
