Bad Brakes
I love my 2008 Honda Accord EX- L with only 1 exception. The rear brakes need to be replaced every year. Honda has a Major problem with their rear brakes. Just do a simple search on the internet and you will found thousands of complaints about the rear brakes going out in their new car any where from 6 -18 months. Honda still will not admit to the problem and I still have to shell out $250 bucks every time to fix the brakes.
Alright Car But Not My Preference
This Accord is ok but I would much rather prefer a different car. The acceleration is somewhat on the exhilarating side but is way too loud at least for my taste.Have ridden in cars with more power and they were not nearly as noisy. The ride is good but could be better. The new body style is somewhat sporty but a downgrade from the 2007. The front seats are hard to the max. I like the options that are standard with the EX but still not a big fan of this car. The stereo is also very nice in this car.

Brakes--be careful
Great car except the rear brakes.The front brakes last 3 to 4 times longer than the rear. That never happens, the front disc always wear out first. Honda design flaw and the won't admit they have a problem.
Reasonably good car with some issues
Pluses: Great visibility, good braking. Very good handling Negatives: Poor wipers, high level of road noise, dashboard controls are not intuitive, heating is inconsistent, windshield almost always fogs which makes it necessary to leave defroster on. Acceleration with the four cylinder is not good. Sound is only mediocre. Gas mileage is only 20 around town and 26 to 27 on the highway with a four!
Great Car - Horrible Gas mileage
The car is great. It looks and drives very well. Comfort inside is better than expected. Worst issue is Gas Consumption, this thing averages 18 MPG for city and hwy combined. This is with normal driving . Honda does not care or want to do anything about it. So beware, if you are trading in your V8 for a mileage vehicle, this is not it in my case.
