2008 Honda Accord Luxury review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car that has all the gadgets"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
It's a pleasure to drive. It has plenty of power.
I am 6 3" and find many vehicles don't have enough headroom. The Honda Accord has plenty of head and leg room, even with the sunroof, which normally reduces headroom.
The ride is comfortable, and the handling is good for a car of its size. The fuel economy is great; this is due to the variable cylinder management (VCM), which if wasn't for the Eco light on the dash, I wouldn't even know I was running on less than 6 cylinders.
The styling is much better than the previous Accord. The alloy wheels are the only thing that I may change as they look a bit like old school hubcaps, but they are growing on me and can be easily changed with aftermarket rims.
