2008 Honda Accord

accord2008 · accord2008

I have a 2008 Accord Coupe with the 3.6L V6 engine. Recently the transmission fluid cooler in the radiator leaked, and got coolant mixed with the transmission fluid. The radiator was replaced, new coolant. The transmission was flushed a couple of times to get as much coolant-contaminated liqui...

How can i program a key remote control to my 2008 Honda Accord?

Unlike Honda, Acura is suffering from some brand identity issues where some question whether or not it is in the same league as Lexus and Infiniti (re: no RWD V8 offerings). As far as the TL goes, it has pretty much held record sales for the Acura brand until very recently. Debuts of new and much improved...

All those that predicted the new Accord would be a sales flop may come forward to receive their egg removal face towels. This was accomplished in a month when auto sales were plunging.

I'm going to hijack my thread here Don't get me wrong ... I still think that C and D is the best American car mag... I just don't like the redesign. I like Aaron Robinson ...

Agree completely. I've been a subscriber since the 70's, and the great magazine it once was is just a memory. They had a really fine writer back then name Jean Sheppard. His work was literature, almost poetic. Some of my snobbish friends wondered why I'd read a "gear head" rag, so I'd loan th...

You've got to be kidding. I rented one for a week in Orlando recently. I loved the red paint, but that was about it. The front end was rather dated looking. I could have sworn that the interior was spawned from the same plastic injection mold as the early 1970s Chevy Malibu. Everything from the seats, to t...

Looks like the two new Generals replaced the Chrysler 300 and Infinity G35 from last year's list. The other eight are all hold overs. That noted, I still think this list is about the silliest exercise. It's advertising "bought and paid for" fluff that pretends to be journalism. After all t...

honda doesnt do "orders" in the traditional sense of the word. you cant custom order a white accord LX with navi and black interior, for example. im pretty sure this is how it works.... the factory cranks out whatever they crank out on a preset schedule. dealers can request a change in their...

Sherie · Sherie

Imports like Honda can't be "ordered" from "the factory" old-school American car style. However, since there is a finite set of option/color combos available, "your" car can usually be found at another dealer, and dealers "exchange" cars all the tim...

Hi! Well, to be honest my salesman ordered my '08 Accord Sedan EXL V6 NAVI Polished Metal/Black on September 20th. It should be here in the next three weeks or so-by Christmas anyway. I asked him if I needed to put down a deposit and he told me no, maybe because I have known him for a while. I typed up my reque...

Went to dealer looking for a 2008 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 6 Speed with nav, wanted Polished Metal with Ivory. They could not find one so I ask them if I gave them a $1000 deposit could they order it from the factory. Salesman said no you can't order a car from Honda. I've never heard of this. Anyone had any exper...

There are no charges incurred to the consumer for emissions dvevices mandated by local state laws. Mostly the differences nowadays are a slightly different engine computer program with different calibrations for richness/shiftpoints/tuning. There may be a few minor "hung on" or pl...

I have no idea on price as there will be on 1 price in one area/location per vehicle model.On whats different, on the L4 the PZEV engine version has VTEC on the exhaust side too, where it will pause 1 exhaust values at low speed for better low end performance/emissions (basically this disables 1 exhaust...

Interesting question. I know last gen, there were LEV's - Low Emissions Vehicle's ULEV's - Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle's, and PZEV's - Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle's.

I guess I don't make much sense when I'm frusterated But I was always very unfond of the way Honda designed my trunk. Preferably, I want those hydraulic lifters that take up no space.

I agree and how could Honda go from the Wonderful LED lights on my 07 accord back to Old school. Even more confusing, why would they put projectors on the 08 coupe and not sedan. Am I missing something here?

I have a very specific way of holding the steering wheel when driving one-handed on the 7th gen (think of gripping lower spoke between thumb and index finger, stuffing as many of the remaining fingers as will fit between the opening of the 2 spokes), and this new design kills it. I've been able to do this...

I agree that some of it is (mis)perception, but I've also found I can more easily park my wife's 2006 Odyssey than my '06 EX-L V6, and that is no doubt due to the significantly smaller turning radius of the Ody (36') as compared to my AV6 (39.5' or so, according to the dealer brochure). Note that the 8th gen...

Yeah, I missed that a lot when I would drive my dad's old 7th gen. Although the D to D3 shift isn't that big a deal. The transmission would always drop fro 5th to 3rd on me when I wanted passing power anyways. The only difference is the inability to do 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I wish Honda would've given the TSX's Shifttr...
