Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Accord?
the engine is very smooth and powerful. Great suspension. Wonderful sound system and well laid out driver controls.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Accord?
In all honesty I can't think of anything I would change.

2008 Honda Accord Review:
It's funny, but when I went car shopping this was not the car I had in mind. In fact if you would have told me at the beginning of the day that I would be driving an Accord by that evening I would have laughed at you. The total package of this car is flawless. It handles wonderful but yet does not sacrafice comfort. The interior is very, very spacious but yet it doesn't drive like a big car. Driver controls are well laid out and easy to reach and manipulate. This car makes a quiet statement of refinement. You have to jump pretty high in terms of dollars spent to find a competitors car that matches this car in fit and finish, power, handling, interior space, comfort and styling.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Accord?
bluetooth is excellent, gps you can surf with the joystick knob, voice command, great leather, bigger wheels, seat heaters roast

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Accord?
trunk too bare, needs hooks and ways to hold stuff down b/c its so huge.

climate controls should not be split around radio controls, hard to reach fan and i still feel goofy controlling fan through voice command (but you can!)

2008 Honda Accord Review:
great car, got the EX 4cyl and it has adequate power going from the 2004exV6, not quite as fast but driving this car relaxes me so i dont care, decent stereo (sub helps), doesnt lean into corners

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Accord?
Finally the old ugly Accord is gone. Enter the new Camry killer. While this car is a little smaller than the Camry, however, it finally is nice to look at.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Accord?
The interior may be a little plastic for some people but the quality of the materials is rather high. It may have also gained points if it was a little larger in dimensions.

2008 Honda Accord Review:
The old accord was a dog in looks even with its high safety and economy figures. Farewell. The new Accord has a much more distinctive look inside and out. I would imagine that people will soon forget the bland styling of the last model. The engine and transmission are first class. This car is much quieter and has much less NVH. It is approaching Acura in fit and finish.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Accord?
EX-L-4 offers all of the key options, offers tight construction, flawless execution of quality and ample power.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Accord?
Could use a bit more sound dampening for highway cruising. Lexus is still the master of this.

2008 Honda Accord Review:
Great overall value. I considered the Lexus ES350, $38K, BMW 3 series, $36K, VW Pasaat $31K. All of these vehicles offered some benefits over the Accord, but not enough to justify the substantial price difference. If you're willing to forego the "status" brands, there's no better value in the marketplace period!

2008 Honda Accord Review:
Traded in an '03 Accord for the '08. The 6-4-3 engine is giving me 3MPG less than my '03 V-6 and often feels like it's 'hunting' at highway speeds. Braking requires lots of effort; brake pedal seems to push back at you. Interior is great. Exterior gets lots of looks and pointing fingers.

2008 Honda Accord Review:
The 08 is nice. I traded in a 98 that I had since new and it was a better build car than the 08. The fit and finish on the 98 was much nicer as well. For instance, you had door lights on the '98 also you had more leather and fabric and less hard cold plastic, most notably where the back speakers are as well as the covering on the speakers. I am dissapointed with this release and will most likely turn this in for a Camry in a couple of years. Have been a life long Honda owner, but they really cheapen the Sedan.

2008 Honda Accord Review:
First Honda I've purchased and I'm loving it. Got the EX-L V6. Everything about it exudes quality and attention to detail. City fuel economy has been around 21 MPG. Pleanty of zip when you need it. Many curious people have commented on it's looks and can't believe it's an Accord.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Accord?
The overall feel of the car is typical Honda which means solid, tight, well made, comfortable. Very roomy. Performance of base 4 cylinder engine is very good.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Accord?
Less lumbar in the drivers seat. Easier to reach and set heating / AC controls.

2008 Honda Accord Review:
I've had the car a few days now, and though I can't say I'm impressed, I'm not disappointed either. Overall the car is not stunning but it is not bad looking and the interior is relatively comfortable but could use a bit of help ergonomically (heater control placement). The car rides well and is very roomy for a family of 4.
