2008 Honda Accord Owners Manual – The eight- gen of Honda Accord four-door is large, was about 2.5 inc shy of the lunker Chrysler 300’s length, virtually 5 inches more time than a Toyota Camry. It’s vast, way too, one much more inched than the Toyota Camry, and the entrance buckets were spreading 1.5 inches more than in the prior Accord, and that means the 2008í feels large as very well. Formally, its 120 cubic feet of interior and cargo volume push it, hardly, in excess of the bar into the EPA Significant Car class.
The Accord was felt a draft in the previous couple years, caught concerning the Camry’s blue-chip believe ability and the Altima’s sporty swagger. And these two evolve, Honda Accord sales have become weak. Hence, for this model, Honda has long been achieving to the best boxes of their Good Stuff locker. Honda Accord was the company’s rice bowl; if this new one draws tepid responses from middle-market America, there will be hunger pangs from Ohio (about 80 percent of Accords sold in the U.S. are built in Marysville) all the method to Honda’s Tokyo headquarters.
Visualize a new Accord that’s truly a half-inch for a longer period than Acura’s significant RL sedan, on an identical wheelbase, equal in beam, too. Which is the amount car Honda has loaded into this gotta-win model, supplied in four-door-sedan and two-door-coupe variations.
Under the hood, the SOHC V-6 has become enlarged to 3.5 liters and 268 horsepower, from 3.0 liters and 244 horses. Fuel economy is enhanced above past year’s when analyzed by the same approach (EPA 19 city, 29 highway for 2008), thanks to a new system which allowed the operation on 3, 4, or 6 cylinders. The DOHC fours continue to be at 2.4 liters, with the base engine rated at 177 horsepower, up from 166. Step up from the entry Accord LX to the EX, and you get a 190-hp four redlined at 7100 rpm.
For now, the only automated is a five-speed. In the sedans, only 4 cylinders are accessible with a stick, and it’s a five-speed.
