2008 Accord Review - ConsRpt

Malibu might rank better than Accord right now, but how will they compare
when both models are 4-5 years old? My money is on the Honda - lost too
much already on 3- to 4-year-old GMs.

 

Hi,
Also Ford Fusion. Honda does not depreciate like domestic cars.

 

Believe it or not some places do have them. I rented a 06 Accord from
one. I've seen RLs and TSXs at Enterprise too.

 

Wow, I have never seen an Enterprise with a Honda or Acura of any kind, not
that I keep track of them. Normally American cars. Maybe it's regional
thing?

 

I was thinking of going with the leather seats for the Accord EX4, and
about a year ago when I was shopping, it turned out the lease price
for the TSX was within $10. But the TSX also drinks premium gas.

Edmunds is obviously smoking some good crack... they say the 2008 civic fuel
tank is only 8 gallons... Its 50L, so it would be 13.22 US Gall and 11 UK
Gall.

 

One consistent complaint with Hondas is a relatively high amount of
tire noise transmitted to the cabin. We notice this on our '03 Accord
and I was hoping it would be improved with the '08 redesign, but CR says
that tire noise is still a low point.

I think Honda missed the boat by going bigger still with the '08 at a
time when fuel economy is so important. Bigger and heavier means a fuel
economy sacrifice. Time to stop super-sizing it!

 

There are lots of good sedans on the market today. Shop them all before
settling for whatever Honda has to offer.

The Super Size Me era should have been over by now!
