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.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid [w/video]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Delivering On Promises
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid should surprise no one. Its look is something we've seen since the non-hybrid versions went on sale last year. Its powertrain, mostly, we are familiar with from the already-on-sale Accord Plug-In model. And the overall vibe of the car? Well, it's an Accord, which has been a strong seller in the US for three decades, so much so that there's a very good chance you've been in one at some point, whether you noticed or not.
Honda's first attempt at an Accord Hybrid, released in 2005, put dynamic performance first, but it didn't match the public's maturing perception of what a hybrid is all about: fuel economy. The 2005 version was capable of a measly 28 miles per gallon combined, 25 in the city and 33 on the highway. Remember those numbers, and that the first-generation Accord Hybrid lasted all of three model years before being axed.
Honda reveals new Civic hatch for WTCC
Tue, 03 Dec 2013If you thought the Honda Civic Type R prototype we drove in Japan looked cool, and that the Civic Tourer that Honda will race in the British Touring Car Championship next year looks even cooler, just take a look at this.
Possibly the ultimate race-spec Civic, this is the car Honda will field next year in the World Touring Car Championship. Like the Type R prototype (but unlike the BTCC-spec wagon) the WTCC challenger takes the form of Honda's latest Euro-spec Civic five-door hatchback.
It's the car with which Honda intends to defend its title and capture the driver's title in next year's championship. It'll face a tough challenge from the new Citroën team headlined by Sebastien Loeb in the new C-Elysee, not to mention the rest of the grid. Fortunately, Honda is entering a whole mess of these Civics in the series, with former champion Gabriele Tarquini and former F1 driver Tiago Monteiro driving the works entries (hence the mixed "Gabriago" tag on the window) and another pair to be entered by privateer teams.
2015 Fit Kit is the perfect DIY car from Honda
Mon, 31 Mar 2014Ah... let the April Fools' Day automotive jokes begin. Honda is kicking things off, following up on last year's Honda Hair joke with a prank video featuring the 2015 Honda Fit.
It's called the Fit Kit, and as you might guess, it's a way to build your own version of the redesigned hatchback. There are 180,000 mechanical parts in the kit - some delivered by drone - but that doesn't seem at all daunting to the pair of obnoxious, self-described tinkerers that star in the Fit Kit ad.
Honestly, the video is pretty entertaining, with some biting satire of the DIY movement and its attendant cadre of mustachioed hipsters. Scroll down and have a look at both the video and the Fit Kit press release from Honda.
