As its name implies, you get a lot more power with the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6. A new 3.5-liter DOHC iVTEC V6 engine lies under the hood of this front-wheel-drive sports coupe, coupled with a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed short-throw manual transmission. Only available with the automatic is variable cylinder management, which deactivates cylinders when not needed to increase fuel economy, which dips to 19/29 with the V6. The 2008 Accord Couple EX-L also gets larger 18-inch alloy wheels to improve handling and overall styling. Other exterior sporty touches include a rear spoiler, body-colored moldings, and chrome exhaust. 19-inch wheels can be added.

4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, traction and stability control, dual front-side and side curtain airbags, active head restraints, a tire monitor, foglights, daytime running lights, and halogen headlamps are all standard. In terms of comfort, you'll find heated leather front seats, an 8-way power driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, full power features including remote entry, wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, a 6-CD player and satellite radio, intermittent wipers, and a temperature display and tachometer. Seating four, the rear seats split-fold onto a 12-cubic-foot trunk that can be outfitted with tie-downs and a net. A front center console doubles as an armrest, and the dash gauges feature blue backlighting. Options for the 2008 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 include a voice-activated navigation system with Bluetooth, a remote garage door opener, remote start, parking assist, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
