differences between 06 accord and civic?
hi, I ordered an accord but I found out that it's taking longer than
expected to get. now I sold my car and am currently borrowing one right now but I can't do that too much longer. I found a few civics with everythign I want (manual trans. and nav) but was wondering what differences are between the civic and accord (only one I noticed so far is the civic is not available with leather and then ovbiously, size) thanks in advance |

I've owned three Civics: '82, '91 LX, and '97 EX... then an '04 Accord EX
Sedan 4-cyl.. The Accord is, to me, a huge step up in terms of ride, comfort, and noise reduction. The Civic is a little more nimble due to its smaller size. It took me a while to get used to a larger car. But now, I wouldn't want to ever go back to a Civic. |

It's not just a matter of size. Funny they've now pushed nav units all the way down to the Civic. |

A lot will depend upon how you use the vehicle - if it is just trips
around town - the Civic would be fine. But if you are planning on long road trips - you would be much happier with the accord. I have always purchased accords cause I drive a lot - but if I only traveled around town - a civic it would be. |

differences between 06 accord and civic?
In the past, the Accord was a more refined ride, while the lightweight Civic
was more nimble and had more of a 'sporty' feel. The Accord's heft contributed to the more sedate driving feel, better wind/noise insulation and higher level of luxury option. In the streets, the light weight Civic was able to return better fuel economy, but the 4 cyl Accord was able match the Civic's consumption on the highway. Quality and durability of both cars were at par, but there was a significant jump in price when moving up to the Accord. In 2000, the price difference was $14,000 for a Civic Hatchback vs. $22,000 for a Accord DX. Back then, there was never a need to compare the Civic to the Accord. The Civic was obviously an economy car while the Accord was the best mid level car money could buy. Now, the lines are starting to blur. The Civic's quality interior, more refined driving feel, higher level of options, larger interior space, seems more like an Accord then the Civic's of old. Granted, the tighter setup on the 06 coupe simulates the lightweight nimble feel of Civic's of old, but this new Civic feels like a more substantial car. The interior is more uplevel or better layout then the Accord. The outside styling is that of a premium sport car. Before the weight difference used to be about 700lb, now it more like 300lb.... The lines are starting to get blurred, which might be a good thing, since the Accord has had such an awesome track record.

I think the new civics LOOK great, but not sure about buying a car that has jsut been redesigned. figure they need some time to "work the kinks out". I do like the look though, I think the coupe took a lot of styling clues from the eclipse. |
