"I just got my Accord LX. It is wonderful it even has a stability feature the passed models didnt have. I love and I am very impressed with the comfort and Luxurious look it has. It is also more spacious than past models.
Wouldn't change it!"

" The 2008 EX V6-L with NAV replaced my 1998 EX V6-L. I was initially over-whelmed with this 'High Tech' version. It is much larger than my 98 Accord and takes more garage. I also have the back-up camera which is somewhat useful. Initially I experienced a learning curve not only the navigation system, but also the handling the larger 08. I have noticed more road noise and some of the smoother ride has been lost due to the higher performance tires. I am adapting to the difference.
The pick-up is more than enough when you want it. I am thankful for the economy so far. I don't do much waiting in traffic so I have managed to get 20-21 mpg according to the trip computer which I verified by calculation. I am getting closer to 21.5 on my third tankful around town. Not bad for a car with this power and size. This is better than I got with my 98 200hp Accord.
The interior room is spacious and a very classy interior in leather & wood trim. The optional side trim and wing spoiler has given my car a much improved sportier look that, in my opinion, brings it a little closer to the look of the coupe while maintaining a refined look a expensive luxury sedan.
Yes, buy this car. I highly recommend it. Either versions has a high value for the money. The 4cyl versions are very affordable and a great family cars. Although the 6 cyl version is expensive it has leather and is more powerful. I am expecting I will reap much of the 4 cyl economy as the V-6 is programmed to run on 3 or 4 cylinders when on flat ground or tooling around town. You don't know when it is in this economy mode unless you see the econ light come on. They have done this very well!
My mileage is proof.

"This is the best Accord to date. I have owned every body style since 1995 (95,98,03,06 Civic and now the proud owner of the first 2008 Honda Accord EX-L sold at the dealership. I also own a 1992 and a 1997 Accord which both of my daughters drive. The wheelbase increased 2 inches giving it a better ride."

"I test drove the 2008 Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry prior to the Accord, and the Accord beat them both hands down. The appearance, comfort, and ergonomics remind me of a BMW 3 series, though the performance is comparable to other vehicles in the class. I like the 190 hp 4-cyl option which takes quite a bit off the price, gets decent gas mileage, but is better than the 170 in the Altima or 158 in the Camry. I will buy once the prices come down a bit."

"Took delivery about a week ago. I reseached and test drove everthing from Camrys to Infinitis - without question the Honda EX-L Auto with Nav is an excellent automobile and I'm looking forward to the next few years behind the wheel. I did purchase the extended warranty as I drive around 20,000 miles per year which would negate my 36,000 mile warranty in less than 2 years.
The Nav system is very accurate as compared to others I've owned. Moving down from a large SUV was a difficult choice but the reward comes from added comfort and great gas mileage. Resembles the Acura RL and BMW 5 series although it's bigger, offers more back seat space, is $15,000 less and doesn't require premium fuel. Sound system, XM radio and Blue Tooth are great. Voice command features are a blast!
Dealer discounted the car $2500 off sticker."
