Too often do the roadways prove uncertain - defined by unsteady turns and uneven pavement, with passing cars weaving shakily around you. Danger looms over every mile; and, sadly, there may come a time when you’re unable to avoid the skid, careening suddenly across a sharp curve.
The need for advanced airbag protection, therefore, proves essential - and this is why we recommend the 2008 Accord.
Sitting on our lot is a 2008 Accord. This Honda sedan promises superior collision responses, delivering a comprehensive safety suite to Everett. Side curtain inflatables anchor the front and rear, providing class-leading protection; while dual-stage options release automatically in the wake of an accident, shielding passengers from harm. Mounted chamber bags further reduce the chance of injury, utilizing advanced positioning sensors to detect occupant locations and engage as needed. These features all combine with both a LATCH security system and three-point seat-belts to maximize protection.
The 2008 Accord boasts segment-leading technology, branding it ideal for families. Take advantage of its dual-threshold options (which assess each impact, automatically determining the precise amount of inflation needed to counter friction and releasing controlled bursts of air. This provides better cushioning for passengers and lessens the chance of whip-lash). To learn more about this or other Honda sedans contact our team today!

Power proves important; speed can’t be denied; and bursts of torque leave every driver salivating, imagining the thrill of conquering those long stretches of highway. Honda knows, however, that quick accelerations demand exceptional decelerations; and that's why it paired the 2008 Accord with a responsive braking system.Â
Searching for an everyday ride? We recommend the 2008 Accord. This mid-size option (currently available on our lot for $6,888) proves ideal for Mill Creek drivers, connecting them to superior stoppage.
Anchoring this Honda model is an all-wheel anti-lock ABS system - which pairs ventilated front discs with solid rear drums. Electronic brake-force distribution adapts to changing road conditions, assessing both lane trajectory and torque demands to ensure balanced traction; while integrated assist technology improves stoppage, increasing friction when engaged. This suite is connected directly to a rack-and-pinion steering column, which applies precise tension to lessen turn radiuses (18.55 cu.-ft) and tighten cornering.
When these elements combine, they allow the Accord to safely reduce speeds - dropping from an 8-second 0 to 60 blitz with ease. This provides drivers with a smooth highway experience and ensures that traction remains stable with every mile.
