Replying to: effect18 (Sep 28, 2007 2:20 am) Reputation plays a part. Ten years ago, I (almost) drove home a 1998 Passat but reputation (in this case, a bad one) got in the way, and I decided to try my first Honda based on its reputation (in this case, a good one). But how did I arrive at those to final choices? It was more than just reputation. Price and reputation are only a part of buying experience. There is a whole lot more to it. |

Replying to: effect18 (Sep 28, 2007 12:54 pm) Yes, I've seen quite a few (in Louisiana). I went to the local dealership 2 weeks ago (15 miles away), and they only had three 08s (two on the lot, and one in the showroom). They must have received a few more since then, because I have seen 4 on the road and they all had the local dealer's plates on the front.

Lol! This forum should be called 2008 sonata vs. 98-02 accord. Unfortunately im driving one this weekend as a rental (only other choose was a malibu) and i have to say hyundai has brought back my old 99 accord! The front looks just like the grille on the 98-02 accord, and the ride is as boring as watching paint dry. My accord was more fun to drive at 7yrs and 140k before i traded it. The interior is the worse, im forced to stare at green lit gauges and cheap radio displays. Well i guess my 06 accord just has me spoiled, its so worth the money! If others want to buy a boring cheap car because of its warranty promotion, go ahead but don't compare it to honda because they have the history to back up there reliability so u can keep your warranty, i want need it.  btw, i drove an 08 exl v6 Thursday and this car exceeded my expectations. Come on ppl we all know the only car that can compare with the accord in its class is camry. Although this forum is good entertainment tho, Lol!

I don't think the 2008 Honda Accord will get exceptional reliability. Last time, we had a 2003 Honda Accord that was redesigned, and it wasn't as reliable as the 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Same as for 2007 Toyota Camry. Look at Consumer Reports and the number of complaints posted here.

I'm going out to test drive all the latest midsize sedans next weekend. I'd consider next year for purchase. Hyundai Sonata SE Nissan Altima 2.5S with Conv. Plus Pkg Honda Accord EX Toyota Camry SE Ford Fusion SEL Volkswagen Passat 2.0 Turbo Hopefully I can find all of them with manual transmission (I'm doubtful I'll find a manual Camry) I'm preparing a full report because lately with all these deals on the Sonata it's really got me thinking...plus I just love driving and testing them anyway
