Used 2008 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
Impressed
Picked up my silver EX-L with black leather and a spoiler last weekend. I love it! I'm a fan of the exterior styling, but what most impresses me is the interior and the way the car drives. The interior's design, looks and quality have grown on me since I first drove the car. The automatic transmission is smooth and very predictable. I hate auto trannys, but think I'm going to be able to live with this one. I love the responsiveness of the throttle. The car's handling is very competent and even a little sporty when you push it. After looking at almost every car on the market under $35k, I think this is the best bang for the buck - certainly not perfect-but a very nice car for the money!
Honda Accord Brake Problems
For those of you that have had rear brakes replaced at under 20K while the fronts have 11/32 or more what are you doing? A car is designed to use most of the front brakes to stop, almost 70% vs 30% rear. So whats the real problem. Honda's excuse is BULL, (NORMAL) My guess is that the rear emergency brake was never adjusted right from the factory thus inside pad wearing faster than the outside. Either way this is not normal and should be a defect and replaced by the factory. I drive 50K a year and had to replace the rears at 30K while the front had 11/32 left. For those that don't know 11/32 is new 2/32 in the min you should drive with. 11/32nd's show very little brake use at 50K.

First time Honda
I have been a Toyota lover for more than 10 years but did not like the new design. I was ready to purchase the BMW 328 but opted for the Honda Accord. The 2008 Honda is awesome. Luxury design with economy pricing. Handling is great and fun to drive.
Best Honda Yet
This new Accord is absolutely amazing! The ride is great, the noise level is low, the features are ergonomic, everything is perfect. This is without a doubt the number one car in the segment!
First Honda, Last Honda
After 16 years in a Camry I somehow purchased this Accord?? I've had it for a year and a half - feels like a hundred. Gas mileage is not as advertised - 25 mpg at most. A lot of road and tire noise on expressway. Sound system is poor - especially on expressway. Front end scrapes on inclines. Rattles in dash. The stiff ride accentuates every bump in the road. I feel jostled around and worn out after a short 200 mile trip. The driver-side seat is not comfortable.
