About eight generations ago, the Accord was Honda’s biggest car but no one saw it as a large car then. Here comes the all-new 2008 Honda Accord, a mid-size sedan that’s big enough to move into the EPA’s Large Car segment. The all new two door Honda Accord coupe was then introduced at the same time.

The all-new, 2008 Honda Accord continues refinement and adds more power, room, safety, and features to cost and value. Content and engines determine the model designator, though all have the same roomy, functional cabins, spectrum of safety equipment, and driving characteristics.

For 2008, the Accord is offers a choice of four-cylinder and V6 engines, two transmissions, and LX and EX trim levels. Further subsets include a new premium package that adds more convenience bits to an LX, and EX-L models which add leather and luxurious comfort and features. Just in case you are wondering, the hybrid model and V6 sedan with manual transmission have been dropped.

The Accord is very efficient, be it having the most power and range from a gallon of gas with the minimal emissions, making the largest interior available, or providing the smoothest, most quiet ride possible in the lightest weight. Be it moving four people comfortably at 30 mpg, or enjoying the long way home, the Accord is up to the task.

It is not the perfect car in any single respect but it has its approaches that point to many significant aspects you can’t talk about family sedans without mentioning it. And if the past is any indicator, there’s absolute reliability here. Talk about cruising the busy traffic suburbs of Houston, this coupe would surely make your day. Check you Honda Dallas, Texas dealers for a test drive and feel the passion.

Even for the mid sized sedan (or coupe) that it is, the Accord still has a power afforded usually to larger vehicles, and manages simultaneously to measure out its fuel in a way which will save you money on gas and keep you running for a long time. Comfortable and spacious, the thing I noticed about this year’s Honda accord is that it has gotten even more so, and that there are also a few more engine choices. Either the four or six cylinder work brilliantly, although I chose the six.
