Should You Buy It? -- 2008-2012 Honda Accord Review

** Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for ongoing reviews and Auto Info**

In this video, I take an 8th Generation Honda Accord for a drive and review.

If you're looking at a mid-size that's 7+ years old, I'd definitely take a few of these for a spin.
They're a very reliable car and there weren't many common issues with them either.

Considering the market value on this specific model is only about $6300 (Canadian) you get a lot for your money!

The only thing more annoying than the cabin noise inside my Accord is the background music that you chose for this video. All kidding aside, you do a good job with this. You nailed it. Keep up the good work.

2010 Honda Accord Automatic 4 Cylinder here, with 210, 000 miles. Oil changes every 10, 000 miles. Mobil 1 synthetic oil with Mobil 1 filter. I use the cheapest gas and still get 25 mpg. Rotate tires regularly, change break pads every 50-60k, transmission fluid changed at same intervals as break pads. Everything under the hood is original from the factory aside from the starter, battery, and spark plugs. Nothing else has been touched aside from air filters changed new every 40-50k. Car still runs wonderfully, can barely hear the engine when idling, never had any issues with this ride. Needs suspension work which is to be expected after that many miles. Can't recommend the Honda Accord enough. Fantastic, reliable car all day every day. Japanese are #1.

I have a 2011 Accord EX-L. Just hit 210, 000 miles the other day, still drives like a charm.

This video was helpful because the opinions were objective, neutral and fair. I always believed Honda made good quality cars but I am now shopping for my 1st used Honda and it will likely be the Accord. I need something decent on gas and good with room for the family, don't really care about speed so much. I currently drive a BMW and so the other thing I look forward to with a Honda is CHEAPER repair costs! Thanks for making more videos, greatly appreciated!

My 08 coupe is gonna hit 500, 000km, drives like a charm.

In 2015 I bought a 2010 Accord exl. V6 with 75760 miles on it. Still driving it around.Its been very reliable transportion.
I would not have a car with a smaller engine like they are making now.

Someone who knows how to adjust the headrest, nice! That’s pretty rare once you look for them in videos

I have a 2012 accord 4 cylinder, and it's been the most reliable vehicle ive ever had, even more than my 06 camry, im at 132k miles in mostly city driving and have had absolutely no problems, no head gasket blown, no water pump change, nothing! If you know how to maintain your car, it'll treat you well.

Just got a 2010 Accord EX yesterday. Love it. Road noise really not that bad. I guess it all depends on tires and condition of the asphalt.No squeaks and rattles. Many people have complained of terrible uncomfortable seats. I am 5'8" and drove for 4 hours yesterday on a freeway. No back pain to report. Ride is a bit firm, but OK. 4 cylinder engine pretty good! Great fuel economy!

I'm driving an 9.5 year old 2009 Accord Euro S at 116000km and luvving it! I'm sure it can last till

Just bought a 2009 Accord 3.5 V6L. 74000km, one owner and full service history from new. Here in NZ we got both this model as well as the Euro. The Euro is much more popular here but I prefer the "heavier" look of this series. And that 3.5 is a jewel of a motor!

I bought my used 09 Accord V6 EX-L with 126K miles in June 2017. It is now Sept 2018 (1 year, 2 months later) and I've had to change the spark plugs and, of course, oil changes. Also, I wanted to flush out the fluids and fuel line to make sure I keep it running good. As long as you do regular maintenance, it will take car of you. GET THE V6! It's quick and very fuel efficient.
I took a 4 hour trip from AZ to CA with only a half tank. It comes with eco boost

I got the Honda Accord 2008 at 120, 000km in 2016, I used it for a year then switched to a Civic 2008 (in 2017) for the sake of fuel efficiency! Now I have put up the Civic up for sale in 2019 cos I miss the Honda Accord real bad. It was so strong! It moves really fast- I have done 180km/hr on the freeway. I intend to get the 2011 Honda Accord! I miss it

300k mileage, awesome. It's about how you take care of your car, mileage is just a number.

I drive a 2006 Accord v6 sedan with 145, 000 miles. It drives like a new car. Runs fantastic, great stereo, moon roof does not leak. Great interior, huge trunk with rear seat fold down. The only thing I don't like on this car is the brakes. Very stable at high speeds. I will have this Honda a long time.

I have an '11 SE, 4 cylinder with 200, 000 miles. Still like new inside and out. 35mpg, A/C still ice cold. All I've ever done is oil changes, air filter changes, and spark plugs ONCE. Drive it 120 miles a day without a worry.

[fernandojalon]

I had the 09-10 exl and now I have the 12 exl four door sedan I bought it new with three miles on the clock on Nov of 2011and now the car has 152K miles. This is a great car I do all maintenance my self from day one and all the fluids has been replaced and the brakes and spark plugs and two front windshield nothing else. The car drives great and really a low maintenance for a great driving experience. I will pass this car to my daughter as her first car. It is very reliable and fun to drive, just some road noise but I fixed it with new tires and it was a big difference those Micheline tires were good but noise it. So for those looking for a used Accord this is a good deal and you won't regret it.

I bought a 2000 Accord, and was completely satisfied. It had winter tyres, and that meant it was a bit loud on the highway. Easy to swap out the tyres though. I recommend this one.

Hey there! Thank you for the great report. I'm just about to buy a 2008 and I must confess I was doubtful and preetty discouraged but you've cleared all the way. Greetings from México
