Hello, Does anyone have any experience with the Honda FIT Paddle shifters on the Sport? I was just wondering if they really shift like a semi automatic and let you bring the car up to a high rpm in each gear before shifting or is it more a gimick? Also what is the basic driveability and...

Hiya, I was just wondering if anyone has heard what changes will be made to the 2009 Accord? I assume it will be very minor if any. Al

Hello, I have a 2008 Accord and still love the car like I did when I leased it. The 2009 from what I understand only added a couple of minor changes such as offering bluetooth by itself instead of needing to get it with the navigation package and maybe some minor accesories that were offered....

I know this is a Honda group and I actually own a honda accord and was considering the: GARMIN STREETPILOT C340 GPS STREET PILOT I guess I could go out and spend 2000.00 on a built in unit or buy this one which is $428.00 in the areas near me. Its touch screen and voice, just not built...

Hello, I've had two accords so far. A 1999 EXV6 auto and a 2005 I4 EX auto. Both Sedans and both silver! I really like the comfort level of the accords especially the EX because of the premium interior. I was wondering how you all would compare the Manual Transmission I4 EX to the Automatic I4...

Hello, If anyone wanted to get a bargain priced car which was reasonably safe and versatile, yet FUN, and it had to be a Honda, would you choose the FIT Sport or the Civic coupe Ex? I am thinking the 5 speed manual for either. I know the civic has a sunroof on the Ex as opposed to the FIT which...

Hello, I have a 2005 Honda Accord EX Sedan 4cyl auto, and it has about 34,400 miles on it. Its used on regular roads city and hwy. I had the rear brakes changed at about 28k miles. I have made sure that the fluid is full and also needed a front rotor replaced by warrenty for a defect during the...

A few times my CD changer started skipping when I was on the highway. I took the disc out only to find that it was very hot to the touch, maybe 150 degrees Fahrenheit. The display panel on the CD player was also hot. I shut it off and it was okay after a couple of hours. This has happened a...

Hello, Before I consider any and all Hondas for my next car, I have to know about snow traction. I live in New England and that is a fact of life. I understand that you can get the Civic Si with the standard M&S tires instead of the summer only. I know the car has 6spd MT and ABS/EBD/VSA and...

Hello, I know this is going to sound like a dumb question, but does anyone recommend or not recommend the use of Hess brand gasoline in Hondas, such as a new Honda Accord? The Hess gas is 10-15 cents less per gallon than shell in my area. Thanks, Al

I have a 2008 Accord EX-L and I was thinking of adding xenon headlights to it WITHOUT voiding the warrenty. I know that Honda doesnt offer a xenon headlight kit for it, but I know there are alot of after market kits, some 250-1000, but the lower the less reliable and then again i would want t a...

Hello folks, I have a relative who also has a 2008 Accord sedan, auto, except hers is a LX-P with the 16" wheels instead of the 17" on mine. The same thing happened with her TPMS light going on and off due to cold. It must be a cold issue for that model. When the outside temp drops to 25F or...

Hello, I have a 2008 Accord Auto 4 cyl EX-L. The manual says to use regular 87 octane. The compression ratio in this car is high enough where premium would be required in other car brands with the same compression ratio and almost as high as other Hondas (such as the civic si) that do require...

Hello, I was able to get some good testing for the 2008 Honda Accord EX-L Auto in snowy and icy conditions. First of all in ice, like all cars and SUV's its bad. In snowy conditions with 1" of snow on an untreated road, there was good traction, and no pulling to the side if going up hill under...

Hello, My 2008 Accord now has 1000 miles on it. Its a month old. I am at 80% right now, which I guess is good. I know that when I need the oil changed I should wait until about 15% and my dealer which I will have the change done at uses Synthetic. I think they use mobile 1 but I am not 100%...

Hello, A long while back someone told me that all Honda or if not Accord stereos are actually made by Alpine Stereos for Honda. I know that Alpine is considered a good company and I think at least for a while Lamborghini was using it as stock equipment. I think Alpine is Swiss made? My question...

I heard that accords with the "J" vin number being made in japan are more rare and more in demand. Any truth to that? Mine has a "J" vin number, so it was built in japan as opposed to Ohio.

I was told by a Honda dealer that the residual value on a 2008 Accord Coupe is 65% after 3 years as opposed to 53% for the Sedan of the same model, the EX-L I4 therefor making the lease much higher on the coupe vs the sedan. Is this true?? I was considering the sedan more so anyway, because of a...

Hello, I like the CRV because it has what I am looking for in a car: versatility, comfort, space, safety, comforts and 4WD. To date I am yet to see a guy driving one (especially the new ones) anywhere! I don't really want to be driving a car that is labeled as a womans car. When I went to the...

Hi, I went to yahoo auto and was reading some posts about people intersted in the accord and was surprised to find so many with negative things to say about the new 2008 accord. I saw some saying that the styling was old and not attractive (even though it looks like a new BMW 535i, Cadillac CTS...
