I purchased this car based on past experiences with Honda. After almost 5,000 miles, I have no complaints. Gas mileage is around 22-23 in town and 29-30 on the highway. The longest trip was 500 miles and the car was a pleasure to drive the entire time. I'm 6'2" and have plenty of room.

This is my first Honda, and I love it. The 190 hp 4cyl is much more responsive than the 177 hp. The tranny is also geared differently, as well as improved exhaust flow, and suspension over the LX(P). Torque and HP builds from Mid RPMs & up. I am averaging 28 MPG 50% highway, not broken in yet. It does have more road noise than I would expect, but other than that the car handles very well, and is fun to drive. At first the seats seemed stiffer than I'd like, but after making a 2 1/2 hour trip, It felt very comfortable once I got the seat and lumbar adjusted to my liking. I really like the overall appearance silver/gray, especially with the wing spoiler and tinted windows.

Bought the 2008 Accord in July. Good running car. Good style and quality. Just did a round trip to Fla from MA. Comfortable ride no thanks to the comfort of the drivers seat!! Had to purchase an orthopedic back support for the driver side. It was worth the $100 bucks. Without it I was in pain! I suggest others complaining of same to purchase an orthopedic car back support to correct the problem.

Different Honda

Well, after having the car for a month I have to say the experience so far is very disappointing. The VCM is so annoying - hunting between modes at highway speeds. The surging/lurching is noticeable and not seamless and makes my wife ill - she thinks I am doing something - I have it on cruise!! Fuel "economy" is not as good as on 2004 coupe we had - only 27-28 on the road.

Happy Honda Ride

I wanted to get a nice sedan with a standard shift. The Accord EX-L 5- speed fit the bill. I enjoy driving the car each and every day (even to work). The 4 cylinder engine is just right for quick acceleration and highway cruising. I get 25 MPG in mixed driving and 31 MPG on the highway. The ownership experience has been excellent. Dealer service is done with a smile.
