Head-to-Head Comparison: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe vs. 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe
Honda vs. Nissan: Which builds a better coupe?
Controls, 2nd Place – 2008 Honda Accord Coupe
One look inside at the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe’s controls had us thinking of urban sprawl – with available space it’s easy to branch out and avoid residing too close to your neighbors. The Accord has a wide instrument panel, one that’s festooned with too many large, albeit well-marked, controls. There’s a lot of ground to cover, requiring time to find the desired control before you can even consider activating it. We recorded complaints about the radio volume button’s close proximity to a gear-shifting hand and oversized and clunky climate controls, though compliments were offered for the clear information screen and intuitive secondary controls.
