I just noticed last night (after 1300 miles) that right next to the gas gauge there is an arrow pointing to the left indicating which side the filler cap is on. Ive never seen that on another car... a little thing but very cool. I just saw one of those Hyundai commercials where they forget which side it is on and thought "hmph... ill never have that problem"

"just can't seem to get it right today....just can't seem to get right today..." haha saw that commercial the other day and thought it was kinda humerous.

personal fave is the mean and nasty look of the car when looking at it dead on...it looks really pissed and scary!! :thumbsup:

Drives like a german car. Very tight and handles well. '08 Accord is one of the best values out there.

I am completely sold on the interior, however, I kinda wished the speedometer and the tachometer traded places -- I drive with my left hand above the steering wheel and makes it easier for me to see my speed without having to move my arm.

Not a big deal. It's a great car. Honda really kicked the competition in interior styling!

Front end is like a mitsubishi lancer, rear end is like a g6, inside is kinda like a bmw/lexus and side looks like a lexus, nuff said but still... its a sick looking car (Sedan rear end is like a bmw [but the indicator lights are flipped])

My favorite is the auto up/down windows and moonroof .. I know it's been around for ages, but coming from a cheapo Ford, I don't take such subtle features for granted

There so MANY things but I will stick to the little details (and not get general)

- The way the silver trim that frames the doors and windows slants back toward the front of the vehicle at the c-pillar (one of my favorite cues from my BMW glad to see it in the Accord).
- The silver trim surrounding the tachometer and speedometer with the constantly lit markers. Looks like a nice watch.
- The oval shaped exhausts

I love how it "sits" and how the whole outside looks different. It seems that if we took the badges off, nobdy would know it is a Honda Accord. I am lovin my coupe to death. :banana:

When it comes to exterior styling, Honda batted one out of the park with the 8G Accord Coupe. The interior is just the cherry on the sundae. (The center stack is a bit less intuitive for new Accord drivers but hey...)

The head turning appeal, I always let the compliments go to my head. The projector beams were the selling point for me even if it doesn't have HID's yet.


And that 99.9999% of all hondas have a gas cap on the driver side of the car.

Yes, front end just sold me within a second. Funny the other day when I was driving home, I looked at the rear view mirror. There was a really good looking car right behind me. I said myslef "wow, awsome car"
Of course that was another accord coupe following me. She passed me by and gave me a smile.

I had this same problm when I first started driving my car haha. My maxima was the other way so I was used to that. Very minor nuisance.

Finally the accord has gone EURO :naughty:the exterior styling is so euro with the front headlight beams and the rear wrap around lights and the lavish and roomy interior. Best value on the road no matter what trim.

You're not the only one that loves the Dash/Interior Illumination. Ever since I've been in one of my friend's C-Class (Last Model), I've been obsessed with having white illumination.

I also like...

Front End (It looks pissed off)
Being able to open the truck and roll down all the windows with my Remote
Lumbar Support
I4 Engine Purrs like a Kitten

couldnt agree more, the engine sounds amazing for a 4cyl, it really does purrr. even on my previous cars having an aftermarket intake the car never sounded like that at low RPM's. and tlak about starting the car, e\stock exhaust sounds great at startup, really nice rev

My favorite part about my car is its anonymity. It will wear off soon, but I like the fact that no one has any clue on what I'm driving, and it looks good enough to be a six digit car. We've all heard the "is that a ______" with the blank being filled in with any make/model that costs at least twice as much as we paid!

Lol, thats been on lots of cars that i have seen, BMW has it, Acura has it if i can recall [old ones ofcourse]


My Favorite part? Engine, Powerful and loud when having a lead foot, super quiet and economical when having paperweight foot and VTEC! ^_^ and the body is VERY intresting, if I chose between the two, probably the body, then the engine :thmsup:

I don't know if it's just me but the baffled pannels on the door upholstery, and how they connect with the swooping door handle, kind of reminds me of a wing. Maybe hints at the Honda wing logo that they use on their motorcycles and such. It's a stretch, but I appreciate subtle details like that about the car.

I like a lot of features on the 08 Accord coupe. One that stands out for me is the steering wheel. It's the right size/thickness for the driver (me). I like the feel of it. The second thing that I am impressed with is the engine. I do pop the hood every so often and marvel at the engineering that goes into making this machine go. Love this car!

Hopefully not already mentioned before... I really appreciate the fwd sliding motion of the center-console cover/arm-rest.

Telescopic-steering would've been heaven-sent! :D

(as you can tell, I like to 'lounge' in my driver's seat)

ok if I had to say something else, the headlights on the coupe look like evil eyes. My girlfriend made that comment when I drove right behind her one night, she said it was creepy.

Forward sliding motion? I have no clue what you're talking about... could you enlighten me? are you talking about the tray inside the center console?

I believe he's referring to the cover for center storage/armrest console (with the extra power outlet). It slides forward/backwards to accomodate the comfort of your arm.

My first car under 30k with pneumatic struts for the engine hood!! Also, the trunk door sound insulation makes it look so much neater with the trunk open.

Telescoping steering wheel FTW! Being 6'4", first thing I do when I get in a car is move the seat ALL the way back, and usually end up reaching for the steering wheel. Not now! W00t!

Also the Bluetooth/cellphone integration. I use that almost DAILY. I dig the dialing via Navi as well - "Dialing the number received from the navigation system"

Steering wheel can move towards or away from you .. next time you adjust it up and down, give it a pull ;)
