Used 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
Seventh Honda Accord
This is my seventh Accord. The new body styling is a big plus and the interior has the look of a more expensive vehicle. All things considered Honda gives you the best value for the price. Many standard features are options on the Altima and Camery. Not sold on the VCM.
Great Car, Good Purchase
I've had two Accords prior to this one and I like this the best. It's the roomiest of all, has good power and MPG are good, has a smooth engine and transmission. I almost bought a Fit but was too small for a family of five. I like the fit and finish, ergonomics, driving position and handling.

Poison Ivy
First Honda, probably my last. Replaced 2005 Camry that was totaled in a rear-end collision. Have owned the Accord LX since November '07. 1400 miles. Over 60. Three months and I still can't get comfortable in the LX. In my opinion: hard seats, hard ride, more road noise than expected, disappointing gas mileage. For test drive(s), I wish I had removed the hard plastic from the driver's seat; tried harder to get comfortable in the non-electric seat; spent more time on rough roads. I did several back to back test drives with Accord/Camry. I admit I was caught up (a bit) in the new styling of the Accord... but I do miss the more comfortable ride of my '05 & '96 Camry's.
Very pleased
I've had my sedan for a month now and am very happy with it. Driving this car is simply effortless - the engine is smooth and responsive, the steering is perfectly tight without feeling heavy, and the suspension handles corners well without feeling harsh over bumps. I've made several 3+ hour trips with it and never felt worn out like I did with my previous car (a Pontiac Grand Prix).
No sport sedan
Just picked up this car yesterday and drove it about 150 miles - highway and city. I have been driving a 1990 Acura Legend Sedan, but also recently owned and driven a 2004 Accord V-6 Coupe and 2004 S2000. Moving to Manhattan, we kept the old car and sold the others. I have to say I am disappointed. The Acura STILL was a far sportier driver than this new car, too "Buick" like. It may have stolen its lines from BMW but it does not drive like one - this is NOT a driver's car. BEWARE former Honda owners, this car is now a Toyota Avalon. And you can DEFINITELY feel the engine switch modes.
