Vehicle
2008 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review
The styling is not perfect, but this car has style (even if you hate it). The interior finish is acceptable for the price range and durable. I dislike the number of buttons on the center console, but find them well-placed and logical. I'm 6' and find the front seats to be very comfortable. I dislike pleaded leather; it looks great, but tends to crease. The wire throttle is incredibly responsive, the brakes predictable and the auto transmission is flawless. The 4cyl. engine feels much more powerful than in the 08 Camry and I find the shift points to be more appropriate. Handling is sporty, not racy, but much more responsive than the Camry. I bought mine below MSRP
Favorite Features
190hp I4 engine; throttle response; handling (given its intended purpose); driver seating position; standard features; steering wheel design; price; exterior styling
Suggested Improvements
Stretched leather seats; better base- level stereo (the stereo in my 98LX Accord is nicer than in the 08 LX); fewer dashboard buttons; better quality interior "accents" in the black and grey interiors; needs sport mode and gear selection mode on auto trannys; less plastic looking front grille fins.
