Used 2008 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (2.4L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Buyers Remorse?
Traded in my Oddysey for better gas mileage and more comfort. So far not super impressed with gas mileage, and comfort, well lets just say my dealership just ordered a new seat cushion for me today. I feel like somehow a Civic LX seat ended up in my loaded Accord. I drive 50k plus miles a year, and am not sure if I will make it even 6 months if they cannot solve this problem and soon. Comfort is my only real complaint. I am 6'1" tall, 210lbs...not overly large. Seat feels like it cuts into my left leg on long trips. I highly recommend driving this car more than down the street before spending this kind of money! Other features are wonderful. Gas mileage will surely improve, hopefully.
What a VALUE!
Seriously, reading some of these petty reviews makes me realize that NO CAR would make these picky people happy. Here's a REAL REVIEW. This car is everything you would want in an everyday, modest car. The car is comfortable and QUIET. Even in Chicago, Pothole-laden roads..bumps are feather light and I could fall asleep driving. The Hands free is great. Had to buy a new phone since my old one wasn't compatible. No big deal The car is huge and very comfortable. My lower back was sore after a 5 hours drive to STL. Body wasn't used to seats like if you bought a new mattress. I get 27 mpg - 31mpg. Take the time to break the car in correctly. be gentle.

The Perfect Balance
Although not the fastest, most luxurious, or technologically advanced in the very competitive mid-size sedan segment, the Accord strikes the perfect balance of sport, comfort and value, creating a vehicle that feels and acts like a much pricier machine. Indeed, the hi-revving engine, tight suspension and precise steering have almost a Bavarian feel to it.
Buyer's Remorse... Retracted
When I bought this car a year ago, I initially wrote a review stating I may have buyer's remorse due to extremely uncomfortable driver's seat. I have now logged 51,000 miles and can give a very accurate review. Dealership replaced my driver's seat, made all the difference. Car averages 28 mpg overall, mostly highway. I have gotten as high as 31 on long trips, no air, driving 79 mph. Besides oil changes and tires, no unexpected problems. Cracked grille was replaced by dealer at no charge. Factory fog lights cracked, were replaced at cost. This car is very reliable, and driving it in Michigan's "blustery" winters has been nothing but sheer confidence. Overall driving experience A+.
2008 accord Braking Problem
There is a braking problem on my 2008 Honda Accord. Front brakes have a high pitch sound when you apply brakes and I had the front pads looked at and they are fine. The rear brake pads on the other hand where worn all the way down and I only have (16,000) miles on my Honda. Warranty department just turned their heads. We all know there is a problem so if this happen to your Accord (2008-2010) Please report. There has to be a recall to fix problem.
