Default Civic Is Overall Better Then A Accord?

Recently I have been reading articles about cars andI usually see Honda Civic on Top 10 lists on everything. So what about the Accord?

Is Accord's reputation going down?

Civics are great cars for people who enjoy great MPG a good safety rating and price but not as much luxury, the accord gets less MPG, better safety, more performance, more luxury but the price is more...

Accord is more luxury? Like what? You can add stuff to the civic. I don't have any luxury in my 2005 Accord. How much more MPG does Civic give then Accord?

What about maintenence costs?

Accord & Civic are such different sizes that it's not really about which one is 'better'. It's about which one is the right size for what YOU need.

The Civic is just overpriced.....

The Honda Accord is by far a much better buy than the Civic.

It is larger, more comfortable to drive, and is usually priced less than 5% more than a Civic

The fuel efficiency is not worth comparing. (against the 4 cylinder Accord)

And when they get older, the Accord is usually easier to sell than the Civic.

As far as maintenance goes, they are basically the same costs.

Go sit in a civic and tell me how much leg room you have compared to an accord of the same year. The only reason I would buy a Civic is if it was used, in good shape, and cheap.

A used Civic is one of the best cars to buy as far as price vs. value.

The Civic is cheaper than an Accord, but only by 5% at the most. As for the gas mileage, of course a 1.8L four banger is going to score off the charts against a 2.4L four banger. That's like comparing a Ranger to an F-150 in terms of gas mileage, comfort and luxury. They aren't in the same class.

Technically, this is like discussing apples vs. oranges.
The Civic and Accord are in two totally different classes.
The Civic is a Compact and the Accord is a Full Size.
You can't compare the Accord to a Corolla nor can you compare a Civic to an Altima

Concerning Luxury, Look at the standard and available options for each EX vehicle.
