2008 Honda Accord consumer reviews

love this car. It had a 100,000 miles on it bought it from a honda dealer.Love the heated seats. Been a honda person for years thanks to my three sons. You know some people you can never please and that is what I see when someone bad mouths honda. It has tan interior was a oen owner which is a plus, little old lady only drove it on sundays,

I purchased 2008 LX-P as a Certified Pre-owned at 26,000 miles. The main advantage of the CPO is I got extended power-train warranty, 7 years, 100,000 miles. I had to use this extended warranty. This model has oil consumption issue. It consumed so much oil that I got the low-oil warning. I always follow the maintenance minder for this car and typical oil change interval is 6000 miles. After few oil consumption studies by the dealer, the dealer agreed to replace the piston (and the rings) for free. This issue was detected and resolved at 95,000 miles. The warranty was extended to 8 years and 125,000 miles after this work. Other than that, no other issues. I just fill the fuel, air and do the regular maintenance. The brakes and tires lasted for 90,000 miles. Now at 115,000 miles, runs better than before. Very happy with this car. Planning to keep using it till it falls apart.

This is my 5th and last Honda - I will ever purchase. Bought new - started using oil after the first year - Honda said that was the spec for this vehicle, 1 quart every 750-1000 miles. I have never had this with any of my other Honda's. Just broke down and found out the Timing chain went due to the oil consumption issue. Honda issued a recal - but alas, only good up to 125k miles. So now we are out $1400 timing chain, they will fix the oil issue if we split the cost - another $1400. Good by Honda motor company. You have just lost this Honda family. Too bad cause I love this car - comfort - look - style -

I absolutely Love this car!! It is amazing:) It has everything I was looking for in a car. Teresa Ford from Dick's Honda helped me out when purchasing this car and I absolutely love it. Has low miles, leather seats and a sunroof. This is the best dealer I went to while in search for a car. The people here are amazing:)

I purchased this vehicle about a month ago and I am a very pleased patron. I had a wonderful sales associate by the name of Wayne C. He was very helpful in helping me find a reliable car that was in great condition, runs well and has all the features I enjoy which includes a sunroof, wood grain trim, electric seats, radio and cruise controls on the steering wheel. I am really pleased and enjoying my new baby. Now it is time for a road trip! Thanks Wayne for your help and support in my search for a vehicle.

I have had the car for over a year now and it has been okay. I have the 4 cylinder and the performance and handling are good. The leather seats are very uncomfortable and makes by back sore over short periods of time driving. It sounds like a hollow tin can. I have had to put in sound insulation in the front doors and the trunk needs it as well. Lots of rattles as well. It is a good value but you will probably need to put some more money in it to make it quieter.

I had an 2008 Acura TL Type S that I bought brand new that was totaled from someone hitting it while I was parked. I basically traded the TL for the Accord and I couldn't be happier. Obviously the TL Type S was faster and had 2 more options that I miss in the back up camera and the mirrors changing position when I park. Other than that this car is perfect. Much better on gas mileage and it has some kick. I have the V6 with navigation

Only downside is the lack of horsepower from 0-60. Otherwise, it has excellent gas mileage. Very comfortable to ride in. Great leg room.

This Honda Accord is the first change they had in a while (notice that it is pretty much the same since 2008, and the the models before it are different). After many reviews and testing, this is probably the most problematic car. in 2009 and moving forward, the problems are worked out and are much more reliable! We highly recommend that it is worth the little extra spend on getting a 2009 model or higher. Best of luck on the car hunt!

I bought a 2008 Accord Coupe with 33,000 miles on it.4 cyl.l auto EX. The rear brakes had been adjusted per the recall. Have only put about 1000 miles on the car to date but it handles well, is well appointed and reasonably economical . It is after all a Honda (we have owned seven Hondas ) so we expect reliability and long service.
