These are some comments from Accord owners on why they
I love my new 2008 Accord EX-L!
I went to yahoo auto and was reading some posts about people intersted in
the accord and was surprised to find so many with negative things to say
about the new 2008 accord. I saw some saying that the styling was old and
not attractive (even though it looks like a new BMW 535i, Cadillac CTS and
Acura RL combined), then I saw a woman who said that she heard accord had
been known for transmission problems...news to me. This is my 3rd accord and
havent had any transmission problems yet. She said in the post that she went
and bought a 2008 Malibu instead...well actually that car has more
transmission problems than accord among other things. Then I saw someone who
said they were unhappy about the way the car drives...mine drives great. And
all for a reasonable price.
Well guess what, they're all wrong.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that in case anyone is interested in a 2008
Accord EX-L, to go for it. Its an excellent car, comfort, driving and
styling. I have the leather seats and they are very comfortable and
supportive.
I love my Accord !
I Love my Accords !
I bought this car (1992 Honda 2 door coupe)from my sister in 1998 who was buying a brand NEW Honda Accord. She sold it to me for a little under blue book value at the time, $7000. Although that is not a steal of a deal, I was thrilled to pay that, because I knew she had taken wonderful care of the car. It was in pristine condition, inside and out. At the time of my acquisiton, it had only 70K miles on it.
What's not to love about the Honda accord? It's sharp looking, handles beautifully and the only repairs I've needed in the last two years were new tires and air conditioning recharge. My sister, who bought it brand new, reported buying a new battery once, and buying new tires once also. (Maybe OUR new tires were due to my husband's bad habits?)
Aside from little or no repair, our Accord has very nice ammenities: power locks, power steering, power windows, and cruise control. The air conditioning is VERY cold and the heater works very well in the winter months.
Driving the car is fun too. The Honda Accord has excellent pick up and manuvers in the city quite well. Highway driving is a breeze too...the inside of the car is quiet and the ride is smooth.
As far as efficiency goes, we average 25 mpg in the city and about 32 mpg on the highway, and we are very happy with that.
I would highly recommend a Honda to anyone who is looking for one. If you're extraordinarily tall, you may have some trouble fitting into a two door coupe, so you may want to think about that. Also, if you have children in car seats, a four door Honda is obviously a better choice..but we have two kids (not in car seats though) and have managed quite well.
Accords are excellent quality cars, and they hold their value well. You can be sure my next purchase will be another Honda.
Love my Honda Accord Hybrid after two days
I've had my new Honda Accord Hybrid (HAH) for all of two days and am loving it! I opted for the version without the navigation system, and after some wrangling with my Boston area dealer, got a good deal (w/trade-in). I've already learned tons about my car, and look forward to continuing to learn as much as I can about my new toy. Love it!! I love my Accord. This is my second Honda,my first was a civic I wrecked beyond repair at about 300,000 miles,major body damage. My new car has great gas mileage,great stereo and is very compfortable with no leather. If anyone is not 100% happy with a Honda they have unrealistic expectations for a car that is not made to be high end. Think BMW,Lexus,Acura or Mercedes.If you think you are paying to much for a Honda think Kia,Hyundai or ford.I love it. I Love my LX-5-Speed Love my Accord LX 5-Speed Get around 38 mpg going back and forth to work, now have 126,000 miles it. Only down fall is had to replace the catalytic converter at 115,000 so started running it on mid-grade gas.
