Hi :) I'm in the market for a new car, though I'm not quite sure which one to get yet! Quite a few options are available out there! For now, I'm eyeing the 2007 Accord and Civic.
-What are the differences between a Honda Accord & Honda Civic? Are they similar as far as size, power, reliability, gas mileage & cost? Which do you think is better a 2-door or 4-door?
-Also, I heard that the Accord is going to be redesigned for 2008. Is that true? If I do decide on the Accord, should I wait for that model?
-Is the Civic going to be redesigned too?
-So, with everything considered...Accord or Civic?
Thanks so much!!

I've got an 06 Civic Sedan and I love it. It's a great car, rides nicely, handles well, looks good and gets good (34-36 mpg) mileage.
The 06 Civic was the 1st year of the redesign, so this body style will be around a few years. The Accord has been out a while, so a 2008 redesign for it may be true. The Accord is a bigger, nicer and more expensive car. If you need that and can afford it, that's what I'd get. But if you are looking for something more affordable and don't neccesarily need bigger car, the Civic could be for you. Go to the Honda dealer and check them out for yourself.

Rob C has definitely done his homework! Do you sense the sarcasm? I'm laying it on pretty thick. The transmission on your Accord is 13 years old. It's going to start to have some issues. I'm sure you have over 200,000 miles or very close to it. That is a long way my friend. As far as the Civic Coupe goes...they are outstanding. However, if you have a family and are looking for some roominess, I'd go with the sedan. The coupe looks sportier and has a decklid spoiler that come with it and is $200 cheaper than the sedan. It also has some limited space in the backseat. Whatever you decide, Honda is a great brand. Their resale value it #1 in North America and they have been given the honor or being named the "greenest" car company in North America. All of their vehicles get at least 22 mpg. No other company in the world can say that! I'm completely sold on Hondas! I own 3 and am in the process of buying an S2000 for my wife!

Depends on your needs. The Accord is larger and (especially in the 6-cylinder) more powerful. The civic has a lower sticker price and better gas mileage (by virtue of being smaller).
They are both very reliable.
The 2/4-door question again depends on your needs and typical usage. If you have or soon plan to have kids, absolutely get the 4-door. From experience I can tell you you do not want to be wrestling a car seat into the back of a 2-door civic.

Honda Accords are larger then the Civics. The Civic is more of a sports car. Both come in 2 or 4 door models and LX, EX, and several other sub-models. The Accord comes in a V-6 or 4-cylinder engine while the Civic only comes in a 4-cylinder engine, but both engines are Vtech. Both cars also come with automatic or 5-speed transmissions. I have a 96 Accord and I love it. If I were to buy another car, I would definitely buy another Honda, no matter what model.

My opinion the civic b/c my dad does a lot of commuting he does 50 miles to work and fifty miles home. the civic gets better gas millage the accord 31 mpg the civic close to 40 mpg , also even if the dealer tries to sell you a 2006 do not take it stick to the 2007 b/c comsumers magizine did a study first year realiability was not very good compared to the second year.

I think a four door car is better, from the comfort point of view, I dont care about the model accord or civic

Well, the civic was just redesigned. a 4 door is better, although it depends on you. accords have more power and safety features with a V6. i think if possible, you should get the accord.

Well it sounds as if you haven't put in a lot of time researching your vehicle which I would advise you to do. However, with the Accord you will get almost the same gas mileage, more interior room, higher quality components (interior), potentially more horsepower and better resale value (it is a good family car). Bottom line if you can afford the Accord get it.
