in size to yesterday's (20 years ago) Accord? I am sure today's Civics are also similiar in horse power compare to Accord 20 years ago. So, what's the difference comparing today's Civic to yesterday's Accord?
Second question, would you, as a Civic owner, buy a 2008-2012 Accord? Do you think its size is too big?

Today's civic is much bigger than an accOrd 30 years ago. It is almost much more powerful as well
The 08+ accords are nice... But for that price, I'd rather get a fully loaded Kia optima. Those new Optima's are amazing

I want to say I agree. The new optimas are amazing, however if i had the money I would still probably go for the accord. Even though I know I would be getting less for my money. I feel the Honda name is just more trusted in the back of my head.

That's 10 year 100K stuff is a limited powertrain warranty. So if the clear coat starts peeling after 36 months, you're **** outta luck.
Honda has a track record of building engines that go far beyond 100K with basic maintenance. Now automatic transmissions is a different story.

I dunno guys, my aunt just bought a new Kia Optima for my cousin for getting her license. I test drove that car and I took that car through corners like I would with my Audi A4 quattro. If anyone has ever driven a german car, you know how the stock handling is. That Optima really surprised me and it is a car that could hold up against a lot of cars out there. This only goes for the Optima, my mom bought a Kia Sorento a couple of weeks before my aunt and that car drives like sh**. I would say stay away from their SUV but that optima is well worth every penny. That heated steering wheel is freaking awesome too.. thats my two cents.

you guys are hating on the optima beause its kia...lol
i was like that before i actually drove and checked out the quality of it.
they are a new generation of real good quality cars...look at the genesis for example...
all im saying is, for dollar per dollar, u cant beat the optima...
the accord for that price doesnt even come with hids....lol
