Used 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
2008 Accord Still a Great Car
We leased two 2006 Accords, and we kept one and traded one for a 2008 Accord. all three of these cars were 4 cylinder models. The 2008 model acceleration from standing start is about the same as the 2006. However, the '08 has better high speed acceleration. The gas mileage on the highway is about the same for both models. We average between 31 and 34 on highway trips with both cars. Local mileage with the '08 has been about 24 mpg, and about 25 mpg with the '06's that we've leased. The '08 is more comfortable and handles quite a bit better than the very good experience we had with the '06's. All three of these recent Accords have been totally satisfactory cars.
Love the car but...
I love almost everything about this car. The look. The way it drives. Fuel economy is good (I see complaints but I get very close to EPA estimates). Very quiet (again, I've seen complaints, but for me it is quieter than any car I've ever owned). Very good power for 4 cyl. My only complaint is comfort. The front seats are extremely uncomfortable after anything more than 15 minutes of driving due to what I see as a design flaw, the seat curvature is too great, and even with the lumbar support all the way retracted, it still feels like there is some type of bar sticking out in the wrong part of my back (I am 6'3" and my wife 5'1" and we both have issues with it).

Interior Noise
All I can say is that I purchased this car thinking I was getting a quality car as I have done in the past. Forget it! The days of the Honda are over for me...Take it on the highway, the engine noise is so loud that its hard to hear people on the other end of your cell phone. And at the end of a long trip your ears are still buzzing with the sounds of road noise.... Honda designed a beautiful car, too bad the mechanics aren't on par with the design. I have had others before with no such problem. This one is a joke. I am getting rid of this car as soon as I can. Stay away from this one. Another friend of mine bought his at the same time and is selling his too.... Sorry, Honda you lost your edge
Great Buy
Driver seat could be more comfortable however, but I love everything about it. Gas mileage is above average. Mine is black, and just looks awesome.
Accord is nice
After driving my old accord to almost 250,000 I bought this beautiful 2008 EX-L accord. What a car, design, ride, comfort, 270 watt audio system, I love this car.
