The 2008 Honda Accord Sedan is a fantastic sports sedan equipped with Sedan technology to offer commendable levels of performance and fuel efficiency. All new for 2008, the Accord Sedan sedan has the distinction of being the world’s first V6-poweed Sedan vehicle. With the launch of the 2008 Honda Accord Sedan sedan, Honda achieves the distinctness of being the first automobile maker to make three Sedan models for the US market. Unlike most Sedan models, the Honda Accord Sedan sedan focuses on both performance as well as fuel efficiency. Whether you are looking for a sedan that comes with power, performance, comfort, luxury and fuel efficiency, the 2008 Honda Accord Sedan sedan can be a nice choice to go for.
Upon introduction, the LX 5-Spd MT is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 177-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 31-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 268-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 29-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
It’s quiet, and while it will get the job done, it will do so at a leisurely pace. You can push it, but the extra giddyup won’t be worth the effort and revs that come with it except in the most compelling circumstances. This is your sipper, not your slayer, so enjoy it as such. The V6 is a much heartier workhorse. Standing starts, passing maneuvers, climbing, all happen with the competence of a trusted assistant: not quite fast enough to spill anything, but you know the job is getting done right, right now.

The 2008 Accord Sedan is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in 13 trims, ranging from the LX 5-Spd MT to the EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.
Based on the seventh generation Accord sedan, the 2008 Honda Accord Sedan sedan comes equipped with many features and specifications that make it an impressive vehicle in its class. In addition to maintaining its legendary four-wheel double wishbone/multi-link suspension system, modifications and improvements, the 2008 Honda Accord Sedan sedan features improved ride and handling characteristics. Inside, the occupants can enjoy the plenty of room and ensconce themselves in the lap of comfortable seating. The large and easy-to-reach instrument panel reflects Honda’s is large and sharp with Honda’s penchant for easy to reach and operate knobs and controls. The Honda Accord Sedan sedan is available in various trims including the DX, LX, LX V6, EX, EX-L, and EX V6.
The ride is just right for the category. The sedans ride on either 16- or 17-inch wheels, the coupe gets 17- or 18-inch. The front suspension is a modified double wishbone from the previous model, and all but the base LX model get a front suspension tower brace. The rear is a new, compact multi-link with nitrogen-filled coil-over dampers. The result is potholes go barely noticed and poorly-surfaced roads don’t rock the ride. A new engine mounting system reduces NVH and helps the body and engine move in greater unison, and the new variable gear steering translates inputs nicely. There’s even a fair bit of sporty thrown in, with reassuring composure in turns taken at speed.
Standard Engine:
2.4L I4, 16 valve, 177 hp @ 6500 rpm
5 speed manual transmission
22 mpg city / 31 mpg hwy
Standard Features:
Seat Mounted Dual Chamber Front Side Airbags
Electronic Brake Assistance

Accord Coupe Concept revealed at the Detroit Auto Show represents the look and design of the new eight-generation Accord set to hit the streets in the next few months. Since its introduction in 1976, some 9.5 million units of Honda’s flagship have been sold, and it is frequently Honda’s best selling model year after year. With that kind of responsibility, a redesign is a tricky thing. For 2008, Honda appears to be taking a step away from its typically conservative styling with the Accord Coupe Concept. With a lot of eye-catching competition such as the Saturn Aura, it’s an important move for Honda to keep the Accord the most desired car in its class.
As the second-best-selling car in the U.S., Honda’s Accord promises to be one of the most significant introductions of the 2008 model year. In typical Honda style, the automaker is letting the product do the talking, foregoing a formal auto show introduction before the Accord hits dealerships in September. Honda’s best-selling model gets an extensive redesign that includes all-new styling inside and out, a spacious rear seat for the sedan, more standard safety features and more-powerful engines, including an optional V-6 with advanced fuel-saving technology.
The finished product is a sport-oriented car that is better than its predecessor — a model that was already near the top of its segment. It’s not without some weaknesses, to be sure, but overall, the positive attributes far outweigh the negative ones.
Exterior & Styling
Offered in sedan and coupe body styles, the two Accord styles are now more distinct than ever; they share no body panels or glass. The coupe has a chiseled look that’s highlighted in front by a narrow mesh grille and bulging front fenders. Both have a more upright front end than the previous-generation Accord, which featured a pointy nose.
The sedan, meanwhile, is a bit anonymous from certain angles. It’s as assertive as the coupe when viewed head-on, with a bit of previous-generation Nissan Altima in its grille and headlights, but it loses some presence as you move around to the sides and rear. The rear-quarter of the car has a remarkable resemblance to BMW’s 5 Series, what with the kink in the C-pillar and taillights that wrap around the side of the car. The base LX sedan has standard steel wheels with hubcaps, while the LX-P trim comes with 16-inch alloy rims. If you step up to any of the EX sedans, 17-inch alloy wheels are installed. The base LX-S coupe starts off with 17-inch alloy wheels, but choosing a V-6-powered two-door brings 18-inchers.
The 2008 Accord Coupe is a 2-door, 5-passenger family coupe, or sports coupe, available in 12 trims, ranging from the LX-S 5-Spd MT to the EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.
Upon introduction, the LX-S 5-Spd MT is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 190-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 31-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System is equipped with a standard 3.5-liter, V6, 268-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
