Reader’s Question:
Since I was already relocated here in Houston Texas, I have decided to purchase the 2008 Honda Accord. What are the exciting features of this sleek coupe?

Honda’s new Accord comes to market with new styling that takes things to a higher level. Honda’s previous generation of coupe was a great selling sports car which knew when to keep it conservative. I was impressed with its creative construction, a crucial take no prisoners mission. Furthermore, in addition to an impressive sedan, the new Accord coupe had to take a couple extra measures to win me over. And I tell you, it did not disappointed me.
I was fortunate to review an EX model by driving it around the suburbs of Houston, Texas. If I would describe the exterior, it is one hell of a sleek, at the top, and trend setting, of course all in a good way. I just can’t help but align it with the Infiniti G37 and BMW 3 series coupe . For saving up to $10k, one could have a stunningly beautiful coupe in the Accord, and perform fabulously with some of the best. But don’t get me wrong, the Infiniti and BMW are created and designed at the top of their class. Furthermore, I dont feel bad about taking the Accord coupe over the higher priced cars. The body and windshield are more raked, the front end is stealthier than it’s sedan sibling. Generally, it was more of a sports car rather than the regular passenger car, which the last generation clearly was.
The V6 powertrain is phenomenal and respond quickly to all of my pedal intervention. An important thing is , the car doesn’t feel as heavy like the sedan, and this made driving ability and stability out on the roadways more interactive. I wasn’t worried about accelerating further on the turns, the car handles it like a dream. Interior quality has no significant issues. Everything was within reach and the seating is comfortable if not, it was more supportive, it all fits into the sports coupe niche. The only negative issue is getting into the back seat. Although seating comfort is really not main attraction for any coupe, it sure fits a bit tighter than I liked it was.
Honestly, I know that the new Accord coupe would be exceed the best of expectations, but I came out of the testing with more of a delightment. It was really a great alternative to some of the comparably high priced cars in the market today, and will win over many buyers with it’s head turning facade and Honda’s tru-blue engineering and quality. I recommended this 2008 Honda Accord coupe to many aspiring sedan aficionados.
