Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2008 3:53 am) Many times, it's more about the car, than it's reliability. As an example. My wife was rear ended in my 03 Accord. It was in the shop for 2 weeks. We got lucky and received a brand new 06 Chevy Impala as a free rental, because all the older or smaller cars were already rented out. There was nothing wrong with the Impala, but I still wanted my 3 year old Accord back as soon as possible. Other cars are just not as solid, and don't give you that connected feeling you get from an Accord. Drive an Accord for 3 years, and then get stuck with a Chevy for 2 weeks, and you'll probably see what I mean.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 29, 2008 6:30 am) Right now anyone considering an Accord should test drive Nissan Altima and Mazda 6. Mazda6 manual is impressively quiet. I find both of these cars quieter than our current 08 Accord EX. Both are very competetive cars. I still feel Accord (and Camry) generates more interest when it is time to sell. |

Replying to: ezshift5 (Sep 14, 2007 4:55 pm) i have a brand new 2008 accord EX-L V6 that i got last week. It is one of the most amazing cars that i have ever driven. The pick up is amazing and not to mention the exterior features! I love this car. It is running at 268 hp with 248 lbs/cu ft. The price tag said 30k for it but i managed to bring it down to 26k. the leg room in the front and back is plentiful and also the cabin is ultra quiet! i did get a mesh grill for my car to make it look nicer than it already was! I also put 20 percent tints on it to protect my leather. My car is dark grey with grey leather. If anyone wants to see pics of it, email me!

I have an 08 4 cyl Accord with 3k miles on it. Forgive me, I know precious, precious little about cars, and I don't trust my dealership. However, the car is still under warranty, so I'm pretty stuck. So far, I've noticed the driver's side door handle seems to require extra pull in order to get the unlatch mechanism to 'pop'. This isn't 100% of the time and the door does open. It worries me that this is eventually going to be a problem. I noticed others have posted about this but haven't seen where it morphed into being unable to open the door at all. Two other things have me quite concerned. 1. My oil light has started flickering on from time to time. Tends to happen if I brake hard or park on an incline. Should I have lost oil during the first 3,000 miles? Is it normal for the light to flicker on and off? I am considering putting cardboard under the car tonight to see if there are any drips in the morning. 2. I am getting some pretty strong vibration/squealing sounds right when the gears change. This has been getting progressively worse since around 2K miles. This isn't normal, is it? I appreciate any help/comments. I bought a new car in the hopes I would not have to deal with issues for awhile. Silly me.

There is a dipstick, which allows you (or someone else on your behalf), check to make sure there is enough oil in the vehicle. See your owners manual for instructions. Your oil could be low, without it dripping out of the engine. Get the vehicle to the dealership for all those other issues, they are all warranty coverage items. If your oil is indeed low, your dealership should know about that as well to investigate the cause. I would also tell them your oil light is flickering.
