2008 Honda Accord LX 4-door review from North America

Coolant leaking from head gasket at only 5,000 miles! replaced under warranty.

Brakes shudder now starting at only 8800 miles.

Transmission shifts jerky and can't seem to find or stay in the right gear, dealer acknowledges but can't find cause of problem. They're debating right now whether or not to replace the transmission.

What was Honda thinking with the styling? I thought it would grow on me, but it hasn't. It reminds me more of a cheap Saturn than a honda. Not that my previous minivan was an attention getter, but at least I could depend on it. My husband talked me into buying this car with him, because of high gas prices. Honda needs to realize some cars are just too ugly, no matter how cheap or "green" environmentally friendly they are.

Well I will say it gets good fuel mileage, especially while sitting in the shop for days at a time not running! We needed a larger sedan to replace our "gas-guzzling" Chevy Astro, which by the way had no major problems even at 180,000 miles. Time is money for me too, and I'm not saving either with a car in the shop for days at a time. If these problems don't get resolved, I will file for buyout under lemon law. And if my husband tries to talk me into buying a Prius or Fit, I'm filing for divorce!
