Long Term Update 4: 2008 Honda Accord EX-L

"What's the deal with that ECO light below the tachometer?" queries Lago. "I understand it illuminates when the Accord switches from six cylinders to fuel-saving four- or three-cylinder mode, but I'm curious about the usefulness of that flashing light. Want to be economical? Be smooth on your throttle input and pay attention to your average speed. Avoid rapid stops and acceleration. That's easy. This morning, on my 45-minute commute, the ECO light illuminated 61 times. That seems a little extreme." Not nearly extreme is the Accord's sublime steering, according to Ougarov. "I particularly like the Accord's steering feel, which is responsive and perfectly balanced, at least for my taste-not too heavy, not too light."
