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.
