Overview

The Accord combines high technology and high quality with everyday economy of operation and keen attention to detail.

The Accord comes either as a two-door coupe or four-door sedan with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or 3.5-liter V6 engine. The four-cylinder engines are available in five-speed manual or automatic transmission for both styles of the Accord, while the V6 sedan is only available in five-speed automatic. The V6 coupe is available with a six-speed manual. Cloth upholstery is standard, however EX-L models feature leather seats and a leather-covered steering wheel. Safety is enhanced on all Accords with six standard airbags, including side-impact air bags for front seats and side curtain air bags. Four-wheel disc, antilock brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, Brake Assist and active front head restraints also come standard.

For 2008, the Honda Accord has been completely redesigned, boasting more safety features, more spacious rear seating for the sedan, and a more powerful engine.

I purchased the 2008 Honda Accord 4cylinder and if you really want to now the truth about this vehicle. Go to Yahoo and type in 2008 Honda Accord consumer complaints and hold on to your seat. Every comment is true becuase it's happening to me. I just changed my brakes at 17k and after I left the dealer the brakes started to squeak again. I told the car back to the dealer and they told me that there was nothing wrong with the rear brakes (previously replaced) and that the front brakes were fine. They said they could grease the brakes but the noise would return. After about 2 days after, the brakes started back squeaking and all Honda could tell me was to keep taking it back to the dealer so they can do nothing. I have a job and can't keep taking off to take this piece of junk back and fourth to the shop. I am done with HONDA. DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE, unless you like JUNK!

2008 ex 4 door sedan,drives ,handles ,stops fine.the 190 hp.works fine for every day driving,it,s not a powerhouse like my 99 lx v/6 accord,but it,s much smoother over all.get 27 to 30 mpg.,car has 1500 miles 0n it.I would have pereferred michelin h rated exaltos , rather than the v rated tires,I think the h rated ride better.Had a rattle in the gear shift area,I put a rubber o ring around the shifter ,this worked, car now quiet.

This is my first Honda and I am so impressed. The redesign is so well done. This car feels big inside, accommodates four large adults with ease. The trim package with the chrome looks so classy, I have received many compliments already. Door closure is solid, leather seats are very comfortable.

Now the bad, the seats are stiff on the back, Lots of road noise in the cabin, if you dont have the radio on, the nosie will hurt your ears, as the tire sound, like window in down. I traded my new on in for a camry , as the interior noise is the worst accord has every been.

This is my first Accord....... second Honda... and I loved it so far. The V-6 delivers plenty of power and is very smooth. Great leg room in the back and the seats a very supportive. No doubt that it is one of best- selling car in US.

What a great car! I look forward to it every time I get to drive it. Its a smooth ride. Not a single complaint. The 190 HP 4cylinder is plenty for everyday driving and passing. The car handles very well and doesn't show a difference on wet roads. I would highly recommend this car to anyone!
