Test Drive Or Sit In The Front Seat Of The New Accord A Couple Hours Before Signing. — After being okay on the test drive, the 10-way power driver seat is impossibly uncomfortable for drives longer than about 30 minutes. Feels like a bulge pressing into the center of my back, dealer inspected it and said it is normal. Car was garaged with 200 miles, was going to trade in at huge loss or replace seats with aftermarket ones (not a great solution). Lots of complaints online, didn't expect anything like this from Honda. Update: The active head restraint system is what pushes up against the seat occupant's back. Steps to remove the seat back upholstery and a couple methods to remedy the problem can be found here. Caution: some of the remedies disable the active headrest system. http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/forum/diy-answers-28/how-fix-lumbar-lump-2008-accords-hurt-your-back%2A-37122/

Most Reliable Vehicle I Have Ever Owned — This Accord should be compared and is equivalent to the apperance to BMW, Audi, and Lexus. I can't express enough about the ride quality and all the features this car has to offer. Everyone who is looking for a flashy car that holds its value should own one of these. My salesman Chris over at the Honda/Nissan Dealership in Grand Forks ND was very helpful in my purchase decision. Highly recommended young fella.

Very Reliable — Well it's my dads car but i'm the son so therefore it's half mine. It performs very well for a 4 cylinder engine. The payments on this car is $379.00 a month. It also has a usb port for playing mp3 music. Also, it gets great gas mileage. It even has a sweet interior.

Good handling, very roomy in front and back seats, very good fuel economy. Over all very well designed car

Cons

Road noise to loud at highway speed. should upgrade tires. The front seats are very hard. This could be a deal breaker.

Very Well Designed Car — This is an excellent grocery getter and family car. The car has excellent safety features and gets good gas mileage. Suspension and chassis is well thought out. The transmission shift points work very well for performance and economy. Honda accord even though has dated styling the car still performs well. The only issue I have is with the "hill assist" the transmission will downshift going down all hills. This feature is very annoying and I wish I could turn it off.
