The accord is going to have more power, especially if you get the V6 as well as costing you more. The civic does look nice and its cheaper. If i was going to get either a civic or an accord, i would have to get an accord if i couldn't get an SI. I have both a civic and an accord. I like the power of the accord but i also like the handeling of the civic. I dunno how the new accords handle b/c i've never driven one. My accord (97) deosn't handle that well, lots of body roll.

Maybe a better arb you need?

Personally I like the 92-95 Civics the best. They look modern but not futuristic boxy concept car like. And they get lots of gas miles.

There is a problem with the modern Accords. Weight. Lots of it.

If you look at the weights chart, you can see that the Accord weighs a lot. More than the Civic.

92-95 coupes are by far the best civics.

i'd rather a mint one of those than a newer civic. all the new cars these days are too "futuristic/boxy/concept car" looking. ugh.

if i were you i'd get a 92-95 coupe, the most mint one u can find from an old man who drove once a week and stored it indoors, and drop an h22 in it. mod it to death and you got a wicket car for less money than a new civic.

but that's just me.



if your handling is seriously that bad even on slower turns, then you prolly got somethin wrong with your suspension. 4 doors don't handle as well but you shouldn't feel like yer gunna fly off the road goin around a corner with speed.
