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.

Honda's Acura NSX masterstroke: building the factory in Ohio
Tue, Apr 12 2016When Honda announced it was going to build its NSX supercar in Ohio instead of Japan, it caught everybody in the industry by surprise. No one expected this proud Japanese company to build its most technologically advanced sports car anywhere but in its home country. Now Honda has a supercar production facility in rural Ohio that would be the envy of any Formula One team. The people at Honda call it the PMC, but its official name is the Performance Manufacturing Center. It's a building that started out as a shipping facility for suppliers, but Honda invested $70 million to transform it into a showcase facility that will build the NSX. Honda benchmarked the assembly operations at Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Bentley before work began on its facility. The 200,000 square-foot building will also double as a customer reception center – Honda will open the doors for customers to come see their car being built. It's also going to offer them high-speed test drives at the gigantic Transportation Research Center just down the road. No one expected this proud Japanese company to build its most technologically advanced sports car anywhere but in its home country. Inside, the layout is wide open and well lit. There are no stripes or lines on the floor and none of the different departments are walled off. This creates a more welcoming appearance and lets you get a comprehensive view of the entire process at a glance. And with an eye towards future lessons learned, most of the equipment is of a modular design that can be easily reconfigured or moved. The body shop and paint shop are enclosed by glass walls so that anyone can see what's going on inside. And while you'll see some automation here and there, the idea was to achieve a blend between man and machine, not to try and automate everything. This is a low-volume facility with production targeted at only eight to ten cars a day. The plant runs four days a week with one ten-hour shift. Don't expect to see rows of new NSXs parked on any dealer's lot. The car will only be built to order. Honda is obsessed with ensuring the NSX is built to the most exacting quality standards. The plant people pored over the JD Power Appeal study to determine what supercar customers care about the most, then looked at which aspects of that directly tie into manufacturing. They developed their quality control strategy with three goals in mind. First, they wanted to build everything right the first time with no adjustments.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Honda recalling 100k more vehicles to replace airbag inflators
Thu, Mar 19 2015Additional recalls surrounding Takata's faulty airbag inflators seemed to be at an end, and the major issue was getting all of the affected models promptly repaired. However, Honda is voluntarily expanding its safety recall to include another 100,000-plus vehicles. The automaker is adding 88,549 examples of the 2008 Pilot, 10,868 units of the 2004 Civic and 5,454 vehicles of the 2001 Accord to replace the driver's side front inflator. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Honda found these vehicles through its process of matching Takata part numbers to individual VINs to make sure every potentially affected vehicle was found. Both model years of the Accord and Civic are already included in the campaign, but the 2008 Pilot is new to the list. The company is clear in its announcement that there are no reports of inflator ruptures in the crossover, though. This expansion takes Honda's airbag-related recall total to roughly 5.5 million vehicles in the US. When these airbags rupture, they can spray metal fragments with enough force to injure or even kill people. The automaker also has an advertising campaign to get the word out to owners that having this problem repaired is vital to their safety. Statement by American Honda Regarding Expansion of National Safety Improvement Campaign: Driver's Front Airbag Inflator Supplied by Takata Mar 19, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. 2008 Pilot and certain 2001 Accord and 2004 Civic vehicles added under new NHTSA campaign number 15V-153 Honda will voluntarily expand its December 2014 national Safety Improvement Campaign (NHTSA No. 14V-351) affecting certain 2001 through 2011 Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to include 88,549 Pilot vehicles from the 2008 model year, 10,868 specific 2004 Civic vehicles and 5,454 specific 2001 Accord vehicles. While certain 2001 Accord and 2004 Civic vehicles were previously included in 14V-351, no 2008 Pilot models were included before this addition. Honda has not received any claims of airbag inflator rupture in 2008 Pilot models. Since this expansion of the national Safety Improvement Campaign is taking place in a new year, it will be identified separately by the NHTSA as No. 15V-153, but the same repair, replacement of the driver front airbag inflator, free of charge, will apply to these additional vehicles nationwide. With this expansion, a total of approximately 5.5 million vehicles will be covered by 14V-351 and 15V-153 combined.
