From Edmunds:

Vehicle 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review I traded in a 1999 Volvo S80 for the new 2008 Accord EX-L V6 w/Nav. The new Accord is impressive in quite a few areas: cabin size, powerful V6, fantastic (truly fun and easy) technology package, handles great despite the fact that it leans a bit too much on aggressive curve handling. My Volvo had a turbo V6, I don't miss it one bit. The Accord engine delivers ample power. It's hard to imagine but the new Accord is actually the same size & weight of my S80 but handles like a smaller sports car. Bottom line, If you can't afford a 40K+ unreliable luxury car then this is a fantastic choice.

Favorite Features V6 engine. Fit and finish, styling. Easy controls. I didn't read the manual and figured out most of it including the navigation system. Great audio system. Voice controls for most things that normally have buttons. Lots of fun. Fuel economy with BMW looks and handling!

Suggested Improvements Excessive leaning on curves. Lumbar is fixed. Doesn't go up and down iPod control via steering not yet an option.
