So far I am in love with this car. I used to own a 1990 Accord and it was the best car I ever owned. I live in Tennessee right now and I see the 90 accords everywhere. It puts a smile on my face when I see one.

Co-worker of mine owns an 08 Accord with about 35k and he has never seen the Maintenance minder.

Has anyone actually seen their maintenance minder go off?
you will see a little orange spanner light up. Also, you can check oil life through the trip computer

I've got roughly 115K on my 08 Accord, and much like rfs830, I drive 100 miles a day round trip for work. Outside of brakes, fluid and filter changes, I haven't encountered any problems with my Accord (knock on wood). I took this picture the day it turned 100K

Likely to beat me to 200,000 if you're not already there. I'm at 140,807 as of this morning. I picked up the car 9/08 with 6,400. Mostly typical maintenance issues minus one CEL caused by a spider's nest in the emissions system (found out about it here as a matter of fact).

well I just went past 150k miles about a week ago. Now that I live closer to work I dont drive as much. Loving the car even more but I think I want to get it cleaned real nice. Im starting to see areas some marks here and there that I would like to clean. Just need to take a good day and do a nice cleaning to the car.

One thing that did not hold up very well are the all weather honda floor mats. The edge of the drivers one is is ripping apart. I need to order some wethertech ones before we gets some snow.

So have I have question for you all. I looking at tires and wanted to see what you all like and dont like. This time around im going back to some better sport tires. this car can be real sporty with a good set of tires.

What do you all think?

I hit 100,000 on my 2008 V6 EX-L sedan

No problems, besides the brake pads issue these 08's had when they first came out, got them replaced a year into the lease. Anywho, no other problems besides the crappy gray leather wearing out and bubbling within the first year. Yes the trunk rattle as well. Everything else is perfect, always did the oil changes on time.

Its gone now, turned the lease in (yes at 100k miles lol) and got into a black on black leather '12 sedan EX-L -
