Re: review
- the controls on the center console - stuff like radio tuning and cabin fan controls are things that are rarely ever used (and therefore not put in as easy reach) because radio presets becomes a priority and so does automatic climate control. I haven't used the up/down switch for temperature so i can't say if it's good or not.
- There always is that 'roar' in Hondas because they skimp on the minor details like extra sound dampening material and thicker glass.
- I would be surprised if the leather was that much nicer because Honda hasn't been too good in putting high quality leather in their cars.
- I am disappointed with the new navi knob though, but having a touch screen means a not so good location for a quick glance.]]>Mar 31st 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 9:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 12:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Apr 4th 2008 4:29AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/
The Accord is just a better drive than Nissan's attempt with the Altima. Drive them both and you'll know what I am talking about. ]]>Mar 31st 2008 12:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/
an accord heavier than a mustang? wow times have changed!

it seems that every new model (exept for the fit) coming out of honda is crap. they are just becoming like toyota producing cars that are bland and boring. if the accord keeps growing like these it could as well become the new crown victoria! haha

In what way is it bland and boring? It's received a lot of praise for its handling and dynamics. It's not a Ferrari F40, but for its class (or the class above it) it's pretty good.

What, in that class, isn't dull, the Versa? The Yaris? The Accent? Heck, it's easily a more entertaining drive than anything short of the pre-2008 Focus or Mazda3, and it's competitive with them.]]>Mar 31st 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/
What's unfortunate is that the six-speed is only available with the coupe. It's moot for me (I'd prefer a hatch, wagon or small crossover) but it'd be nice to have the more practical bodystyle with the more interesting powertrain. ]]>Mar 31st 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/
Ideally, I'd like my Saab, but with Honda's engineering. I'm rather out of luck, there.]]>Mar 31st 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/Mar 31st 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/31/in-the-autoblog-garage-2008-honda-accord-coupe/
What car doesn't perform like this up to 50k miles?]]>Mar 31st 2008 1:05PM
