2008 Honda Accord EX-L review from North America

"Highly overrated car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet.

General comments?

While I can't say anything has gone wrong with the car I can't help but think that it's a highly overrated vehicle.

1. there is a lot of vibration in the steering wheel between 60-70 mph.

2. the car idles roughly with the a/c on.

3. dashboard creaks and rattles.

4. various other rattles that come and go throughout the car.

5. jerky transmission upshifts.

6.flickering headlamps.

7. heated seats very weak (not a big deal but I paid for them)

I don't expect the car to drive like a Lexus but for 26k I was expecting better than this. Amazingly none of these symptoms reared their ugly head during the test drive. Overall not a terrible car but you can do a lot better for your money in my opinion.
