2008 Honda Accord Reviews - Page 2 of 9

Rear brakes needed replacing, but there was a factory recall due to the calipers being not right coming from the assembly line.

This was by far the most reliable car I have ever owned. This thing was driven like it was stolen by both me and my ex-wife, and it never missed a beat.

Comfortable to drive for long distances. Fun to throw around corners as well.

And the fuel economy was amazing; I could drive from West Monroe, LA to Atlanta, GA on one tank, and still have a little gas left over for a quick run to a local pizza joint.

I hated having to give this car up. But it became impractical the moment I started a family.

So far, dealer fixed rattles in the dash and center console, but there's a persistent rattle from the back shelf or trunk area.

Replaced rear pads at 19,000 miles and 43,000. Crazy part is that I commute 80 miles/day on back roads, so most of the time I'm cruising. No stop and go driving. Front brakes are almost untouched. Figured the rear brakes should have lasted almost forever. Honda parts guys says the rear brakes on the 2008 were engineered by a junkie.

The moulding around the windshield was mottled on delivery. Dealer said they'd need to pull the windshield to replace it, and that was not what I wanted for a new car because of risking leaks.

Engine vibrates with the A/C on when the car is idling in gear. Idles smooth when the A/C is off.

23 mpg in rural driving. Best is 26 mpg on long trips. This is about the same as our CRV. I expected better.

The car always starts, drives smoothly and handles well, pickup is good for a 4 cylinder, and I like the styling except for the back end. Anyone who says the Coupe is ugly, better show me something better in the low $20Ks. A/C cools fine on hot days, and ergonomics are OK for me.

However, next car is definitely not a Honda.
