I have happily bought and driven Hondas for over 30 years--until now. My 2008 EX-L V6, with mostly highway miles totaling 28,500 recently needed new rear brakes at a cost of nearly $360. The front brakes are fine. They tell me that this is normal wear...yet asked if I may have driven with the parking brake on or "ridden"the brakes....I don't believe it! I called Honda to articulate my concerns, and I have seen many other similar complaints on the web! This needs to be investigated....Since the car was the new model, I suspect that as time goes on, this flaw will become more apparent...
Gas Hog!

This is our 2nd Honda Accord. We traded in a BMW 325i as it was rear wheel drive and not a good car to drive in the snow. Previously we owned a 98 V6 Accord, it was a great car and so we figured that we couldn't go wrong with the new accord, we loved the body style. The car is fabulous, except for one thing, it is a GAS HOG! For a 4 cylinder honda engine we expected to get better than 23 mpg, especially since my wife drives about 90% freeway miles at 65. The sticker said to expect up to 31, boy was that a lie! Our 6 cylinder BMW averaged 26 mpg on the same drive!

Honda Accord EX-L 4cyl Auto is my first Honda purchase. Enjoyable to drive, fuel economic, and handles well. I have been driving it for 2 weeks now. 1 week within ownership my driver side mirror started with a quarter inch crack that grew to 3 inches. I showed it to the dealer, they are quick to believe that an object hit it or somebody bumped it and is not covered by any warranty, however no scratch, starring, or chipping indicating foreign object hit or bump. The explanation is hard to believe leading me to believe that Honda uses substandard parts, I wonder what part will break next. I chose Honda over Volvo S60 because of reviews and over all cheaper. Now, I got substandard cheap.
A Class Above

2008 Honda Accord LX-P 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Very happy with our decision. Bought a 4 cyl LX-P and its beautiful. Looks like a 35 K dollar car and not a 21 K car. Solid and fun to drive and I love the room... If I was single my first choice would have been the 09 TSX from Acura. That car is amazing, but being married with a kid on the way made me make the sensible decision.
Probably the best sedan in 2008

I owned this car for only a week, but I am pleasantly surprised by its performance and build quality. The 190 HP engine is more than enough power that I needed. I have compared all sedans in this category feature to feature and believe me: none of the others can match Honda Accord's price point for the same features. It gives a sporty driving feel and offers a very comfortable Highway ride. Some people complained about noise. But the fact is typical Honda has more overall noise than say a Toyota. But it is quite tolerable. In fact if you turn on your radio, you don't even feel it. I have done comparisons with similarly equipped hybrids, but I still can't justify the cost at even $5 a gallon
