Second Accord

Honda Family, 06/05/2008
2008 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

This is the second Accord I've owned and it won't be the last. This one replaced a 2002 Accord EX 4cyl 4A with over 140,000 miles on it that I gave to my daughter. I really liked the '02 and I really love the '08. The bigger size has taken some getting used to, but the additional horsepower compared to the '02 and the performance are like night and day. This car seems to have much more "giddy up" than the '02. I was tempted to go for the V6, but I drive 42 miles one way to work and we have an '07 Odyssey with the variable cylinder management system and unless you're on long highway runs it doesn't get the gas mileage Honda claims. I'm getting 26.5 MPG with the factory oil still in it.

Our Latest Accord - Replaced Acura TL

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

We have been Accord owners since 1982 and ventured outside only once for a 2004 Acura TL. After 4 years of harsh ride in the TL, we traded for an 08 Accord EXL V6 and are happy. The nice ride and handling are back, but miss the compact car the Accord once was. However, the 08 Accord is well designed, handles well for its size and the comfort level is so much better than the TL. Strangely, the gas mileage is not as good as the Acura but is acceptable. We are getting 23 in town and 27 on the road. Honda missed the boat in not installing Bluetooth unless you spend $2000+ for NAV. Also, the headlights of the TL, which were HID, were far superior to the halogen's on the Accord.

Excellent Family Sedan

Purchased this vehicle 3 days after it was introduced. Was able to purchase appox $1000 below sticker, even though other dealers in Houston quoted $2K to $3K over sticker. The exterior of the car is a real head turner. The interior is a step up from the previous Accord. It is not lacking in anything, but it is also not extraordinary. It is what it is, a family sedan. I choose this car over a Camry, Aura, and Civic because it has the best combination of reputation, performance, price, and initial quality

Had been curious about the '08 since it came out; have been driving my wife's old 4Runner and wanted something with better fuel economy & smoother ride. My other option was a Jetta but after test drive this won hands down with the bang for the buck. I previously had a '01 Acura CL Type- S and the ride is similar; interior design not all that much different than the TL and on the EX-L you get most of the same options; plus the added roominess in the '08 helps w/ a family. Was able to get a Polished Metal w/ Gray interior right off the truck.

Nice, quiet ride with lots of zip. Love the dark red color. No problems yet after 700 miles. This is my 4th Honda Accord and it is the best of the bunch. Styling is great, love the extra room.
