2008 Honda Accord consumer reviews

Shawn, the salesman, picked this car out for us. How did he know what we exactly needed? We took it on a trip to the east coast and it had more options than we ever had in our life. The trip was a dream. Wonderful options like Sirius (great on a trip!), sky roof, six disc changer, dual heat adjustments, leather seats, etc. Plus we love the color and the ride. It is ten years old but we'd never known it. It was comfortable for the whole family. Great power like we'd never had in a car.

I?ve owned this car for a little over a year now. I? deliver pizza in it every day i? drive 30 miles to work and back and then drive all night long. Never left me stranded. I?ve had to replace struts which wasn?t a big deal. The only problem i? have with the car is on cold days it makes a loud grinding noise for about a second right when i? start it. I? guess it?s a VTC valve or something that is a very common problem with these cars. I? bought it a year ago with 120k miles and i?m currently at 155k miles and it?s been a good car overall. Seats could definitely be more comfortable they?re very hard. The leather on center console and side arm rests are coming apart also a common issue. Road noise isn?t awful but definitely noticeable. The paint scratches ridiculously easily also. I?ve heard horror stories about oil consumption with these honda motors and yes mine burns oil but not to the point where it?s a real problem. I? haven?t had to top it up between oil changes. I? put full synthetic oil in every 5k miles and it?s still running like new. I? don?t see why i? couldn?t get 200k pretty easily out of this car. So overall some cosmetic quality issues and minor mechanical issues but it?s been very reliable and a good commuter/everyday car. Drives really nicely comfortable but also handles corners well and the 2.4 motor has just enough pep for the size of the car. Never feels slow but it?s no sports car. (if you like listening to music you have to upgrade your speakers and amps because the stock speakers are garbage i? replaced them within the first week of having the car)

Plenty of room for me and my family. Great pep to accelerate and merge safely onto freeways and for road trips with elevation changes. Very reliable.

I bought it from used dealer,and I love it. It's got speed, comfort, and great on gas. No major repairs so far and I plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off.

Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a newer car, but it gets the job done. Roomy, comfortable, reliable, just put in gas and change the oil as scheduled and these cars will go 200,000+ miles without issue.

this car is ok just drive all of the time everywere justeasy on gas for everyday cant go to work wiht out gas

The 2008 Accord we owned for 4 years-bought new- was overall a good car, but I wouldn't have another one. If we went on a road with pavement that had a lot of rocks in it, we had to yell to each other to be heard. It was AWFUL! We even bought a set of expensive tires which were said to quieten the ride, which helped a little. The ride was okay, and it was dependable. I couldn't believe the 2.4 L 4 cylinder engine couldn't get more than 24 mpg. We had the same brake pad problem most other 2008 Accords had. Not recommended.

Outstanding performance vehicle. This car has power simple but the power goes beyond the looks of the vehicle.

Originally bought this car for wife but ended up keeping it when she wanted a mini-van. Car has been very dependable and comfortable. Never had any real issues other than burning a little extra oil after I hit 120K.

This car has never left me anywhere, and at over 200k miles I think that is no mere feat. Secretly powerful V6 engine that is still fuel efficient. Handles great. Huge trunk and large backseat for 3 adults. Only wish the seatback was split to fold. Has all the features one could need in an attractive package. Although there are lots of buttons on the dash, half of which I never use. Leather needed to be replaced on drivers seat bottom and center armrest. My next car will definitely be an Accord.
