Mixed bag
Traded in my 2006 Accord SE. Loved it. The driver seat in the 2008 is much more comfy. Pick-up is much worse. Stereo sound quality is worse. There is much more room in the 08. Ride noise is similar. Tires on the 06 were of better quality - I got over 80,000 on my 06 Michelins. So it's a mixed bag. Overall, I'm satisfied. The 08 is a nice car and still offers the best combination of size and fuel efficiency.
First New Car
I just bought this car in July (2008) and overall it is a beautiful car. It has nice styling resembling that of a BMW, with the hofmeister kinked window line, uncurved rear door outline, and bold lines. It's a comfortable ride and is very high quality. However, right after I bought it, my brakes were making a rumbling sound/feel, so I took it to the dealer and they installed new rear rotors under warranty. That just didn't seem right to me for a new car to have such an issue. Overall it's a great buy for a family or individual who needs the space. The car is pretty large and bulky, though That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Awful Seats...buyers beware!!!
Recently i made couple of big trips of 700 miles or so, and after that I had terrible back pain. Even for the 1-2 hours ride I had the back pain, must say that seat design is horrible. Overall performance is good but comfort level is poor.
Disappointed
I bought a Honda because I thought it would be reliable. So far the A/C system broke twice. The second time I was told that it was caused by road debris and the warranty would not cover it. I had to shell out $724 + tax. A call to American Honda was no help. It seems there are lots of Honda owners with this problem. The condenser is vulnerable to damage. I also had problems with the rear brakes. The inner pads wore out at less than 20,000 miles. They claim the caliper slider got corroded. No warranty coverage. Rear trunk lid rattles. Lots of road noise. Yes, the paint chips easily. No mirror defroster on this. The warranty is good for nothing. Anything that goes wrong is not covered.
no more honda
Not as good as was the 2000 Accord. After 9,000 miles noise in the engine. Keyless entry not working. Don't like Honda no more no more no more
