#1
Best Car Ever
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Everything! One of the best cars I have ever owned.
Just wish mine had come with a CD player. Cons: Would not choose a black on black vehicle again.
Very hot in the summer here in GA. Overall: Honda goofed when they went to the new models. They are much smaller and just not as good looking. I will drive this car as long as it will go...

#2
MUST READ!
Source: MSN Autos

...Honda just cant admit that the rear brake pads use too soft a material. Many owners complain that pads wear extremely fast. Mine worn completely at 25,000 miles. See (Carcomplaints website) Minor issues: Not as stylish as competitors, road noise, ran into typical 1st model year quips. Leather seat wear and tear, no external truck release, single fold down rear seat, front suspension creaks when over bumps, no rear seat A/C vents (addressed with 2010 EX models) Getting a bit too big and pricey. Overall: If you want a fun-to-drive, but slightly generic looking sedan the Accord is great. But...

#3
Best Acura

...Pros: styling way ahead of other models that year. front wheel drive v6 with more than average hp.
Cons: sits lower than most cars. Overall: This is my favorite car and it has made me a life long customer...

#4
One of the Most Stylish & Reliable Small Cars
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Practical vehicle; excellent quality; great gas mileage; and a design that will never go out of style.
Cons: Small car with cramped rear seats; lacks power of 'sportier' Integra models; and has high insurance cost.
Overall: Acura (Honda) makes very reliable and dependable vehicles and the Integra is just that.
It is a very practical car that gets great gas mileage. Even the sedan version of the Integra is very stylish, but it's no sports car. The Integra is great for teens and commuters, alike...

#5
Hot-wheeled SUV

...system, laser cruise control, back-up camera is very helpful & the smart-key system is conveniant. 300 watt Bose sound system is the best factory system I've ever heard. Great curb appeal! Cons: Passenger seat not adjustable for smaller passengers (height) although this has been addressed on the '04 models. Suspension a little stiff-- but I guess that's the trade-off for the great handling. Low beam headlights are wierd--the left one is a few inches lower than the right one, but not a major problem. Overall: A perfect vehicle for someone like me who needs all wheel drive for the winter but...

#6
New 21st century Olds
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Roomy car. Love the radio controls on the steering wheel.
Leather seats are nice touch. Gas mileage is okay.
Huge trunk. Plenty of space for your stuff. Cons: Lot of wind noise on the highway.
AUX jack in a very awkward place. Feel every bump in the road.
Very limited choices if you want to change out the radio. Routine maintance cost are more expensive than earlier Accord models. Overall: The new Olds for the 21st century family...

#7
Do not purchase 2008 Honda Accord
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: This is definitely the best looking Honda Accord of all time.
Cons: I had the following issues with this vehicle:
1) Rotors replaced twice 2) Leather seats replaced 3) Issue with Power Seats Overall: I have previously owned 6 Honda Accords beginning with the 1987 model.
I have had trouble free experiences with each of these models, except for the 2008 model.
I had the following issues with this vehicle: 1) Rotors replaced twice 2) Leather seats replaced 3) Issue with Power Seats...

Rear brakes .

...Pros: Styling Cons: Bad rear brakes on Ex models. They only last betwen 12000- 22000k.
Google search will explain other complants on brake issues. Overall: Do not buy untill Honda does a recall. Also, affects 2009 Honda Accord EX models...

#9
Fuel efficient Car of the Future!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: SRS airbag's all the way around is standard in all models at no extra cost.
Easy to read Buck Rogers style duel deck instrumet pannel and soft blue lighting makes it easy on the eye's while driving at night.
Cons: Slight blindspot in the rear due to the rear sidecurtain airbag housing...
but can be overlooked with blind spot mirrors from the auto parts store. Overall: Due to today's rising fuel cost's I strongly suggest one in every driveway...

#10
A great deal and lots of fun!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The handling and features are superb for the price.
Gas mileage isn't bad compared to comparable models.
Just a fun car to drive! Cons: The interior features don't seem as well refined as my old QX4 in terms of quality and finish. Overall: Highly recommended for the price...
