2008 Honda Accord Ex-l V6 4-door / One Owner / 23k Miles On Complete New Engine on 2040-cars
Frisco, Texas, United States
|
Honda's Accord gets a
completely new, more sophisticated and detail-oriented look for 2008, along
with a complete mechanical redesign. It's slightly larger overall, including
almost three inches more length than the 2007 model, but more notably it's slightly
wider, making the interior 1.5 inches wider as well. This wider stance allows
the front seats to be set farther apart with a more expansive center console. Seats
and seating are a particular area of change for the new Accord. In front, they
are more generously apportioned, and Honda boasts that the front and rear seats
now bring equal comfort to front and rear passengers. Overall, interior volume
is up to 120 cubic feet, which officially classifies the Accord as a large
sedan rather than a midsize one. Despite being larger, the Accord has improved
torsional rigidity, which allowed Honda engineers to tune the suspension for
optimal ride and handling--there are double wishbones in front and a multi-link
setup in back, along with wide tires across the model line. Wheels range from
16-inch steel wheels on base models up to 17-inch alloys on up-level coupes and
sedans; and on the coupe, 18-inch alloys are now available. The new Accord is
offered with either a 2.4L four-cylinder engine, making either 177 horsepower
or 190 horsepower, depending on the model, or a 3.5L V6 making 268 horsepower.
The V6 comes with the newest version of Honda's variable cylinder management
(VCM) system, which can shut down two or three cylinders when possible to
increase fuel efficiency. This helps the V6 achieve 19-mpg city and 29-mpg
highway. The four-cylinder Accords are rated at 22-mpg city and 31-mpg highway
when equipped with a manual transmission. *The more powerful, 190-horsepower
version of the four-cylinder engine uses a variable-valve silencer and
high-flow exhaust system to bring improved performance with no penalty in fuel
efficiency. This version is standard on base LX and upscale EX coupes, and also
on mid-level EX sedans. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all
four-cylinder engines, while a five-speed automatic is optional with the four
and standard with the V6. A six-speed manual transmission is exclusively
offered on the EX-L coupe. The list of standard safety equipment now includes
vehicle stability assist and active front head restraints, along with front
side air bags, full-length side curtain air bags, and four-wheel anti-lock disc
brakes with brake assist. Sound systems have been revamped. All of them now
have MP3 and WMA compatibility and an auxiliary input jack. The base system has
160 watts, a CD player, and six speakers; all now have RDS program information.
Middle-trim models add a six-disc CD changer, while top models bring the
premium audio system, with 270 watts, seven speakers, an eight-inch subwoofer,
and available XM satellite radio. There's also a navigation system that
includes a Bluetooth hands-free phone link, voice activation, and an integrated
Zagat guide. The Accord is now offered in two primary trims, the economical LX
or more luxurious EX. EX models are dressed up with alloy wheels, a chrome
exhaust tip, and blue ambient interior lighting, and include more luxury items
such as heated mirrors, a moon roof, and a security system. At the top of the
range is the EX-L, which adds leather seating and trim, upgraded
instrumentation, dual-zone climate control, and the premium audio system with
active noise cancellation. * Based on 2008/2009 EPA mileage estimates,
reflecting new EPA fuel economy methods beginning with 2008/2009 models. Use
for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008/2009. Your
actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle. Want a car to make heads turn and take notice, as you drive by in the lap of luxury? Well, look no further than this outstanding 2008 Honda Accord. J.D. Power and Associates gave the 2008 Accord 4 out of 5 Power Circles for Overall Initial Quality Design. Edmunds.com said, "...The Honda Accord offers an appealing combination of spaciousness, a relatively upscale feel and a reputation for reliability..." This Accord will allow you to dominate the road with style, and get wonderful gas mileage while you're at it. It is nicely equipped with features such as 3.5L V6 SOHC i-VTEC 24V.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
Honda ditching Takata for next Accord's airbags
Sat, Jan 24 2015Today brings unsurprising news that Honda will move away from Takata and source airbags for the next-generation Accord, among other models, from one of the embattled company's competitors. Both companies have been in headlines of late after the former recalled millions of vehicles that were fitted with the latter's airbag inflators, which had the unpleasant tendency to spew shrapnel at consumers. The move, as Reuters explains it, is particularly devastating for Takata. Honda is the company's largest customer, and the Accord represents its biggest product, accounting for over a quarter of the company's sales last year. It gets worse, though, as a confidential source with knowledge of the situation is reporting to Reuters that both the 2016 CR-V and Odyssey will source their airbags from Toyoda Gosei. If true, that'd mean that Takata will be losing out on more than half the cars Honda sells in the US market. At this point, Takata, Honda and Toyoda Gosei have all passed on opportunities to comment to Reuters.
