Carsguide Contributing Journalist Graham Smith had this to say at the time: Jim Erskine: I bought my 2011 Accord Euro new. It has done 70,000km and has performed flawlessly except for a minor intermittent noise from the driver's window and the rear tyre wear due to the negative camber this car is set up with for improved handling. I'm very happy with it.

The 2008 Honda Accord carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
Until you described the condition I would have said the Mazda, but if the condition were only fair I would think twice about it. On the surface it’s the better option, but I would want it checked by an expert to get a true reading on the overall condition. The Honda could be a good buy, the mileage isn’t excessive for the age, but you have to think about the future and what could happen in the next 2 to 3 years.
Have it serviced; there are many other things that are done at the service besides the oil and filter change that make it a must.
It's not unusual today to see rear brakes wearing faster than the fronts. There's nothing wrong with the brakes as such. Our brake specialist Howard Reynolds of Race Brakes says it is quite common on some Japanese and European cars, and appears to be a result of manufacturers trying to extract as much braking power from the rear brakes as they can. It seems to be worse in low speed city driving and appears at about the kays your car has done.
