2008 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
Picked up my silver EX-L with black leather and a spoiler last weekend. I love it! I'm a fan of the exterior styling, but what most impresses me is the interior and the way the car drives. The interior's design, looks and quality have grown on me since I first drove the car. The automatic transmission is smooth and very predictable. I hate auto trannys, but think I'm going to be able to live with this one. I love the responsiveness of the throttle. The car's handling is very competent and even a little sporty when you push it. After looking at almost every car on the market under $35k, I think this is the best bang for the buck - certainly not perfect-but a very nice car for the money!
Favorite Features
Standard features, automatic transmission performance, ride/handling, wheel design on the EX models, interior design, and getting that much zip out of a 4cyl. engine. I also happen to like the exterior design.
Suggested Improvements
No pleaded leather (it creases and doesn't look as good as stretched leather in the long-run); better upgraded stereo (where's the mid- range?); painted front grill (or chromed); very hard to get 5speed manual in EX-L; get 190ft/lbs of torque out of the upgraded 4cyl-then you'd have a real performer!
