Lightbulb I need to know

No disrespect civic fans. I want to know what is the difference between civics and accords why are civics more of the wanted ones.From what i see in type-r,s is that the civics are lighter and with faster (0sec-6sec)acceleration.As for the accord i see that it has slower acceleration and on the track higher top speed.Is this all or is there more?Please pour knowledge in my forum!

Re: I need to know

yeah youre right, accords are generally heavier and get worse gas mileage. civics are slower, but lighter, and get good mileage. the faster ones like SI still use a 4 cylinder so you get 200+ hp and still get pretty good mileage. most accords and stuff use clunky v6. if you want a faster car, accord is the way to go, but thats about all the advantages.

Re: I need to know

I see a 1995 civic ex that is only 800.00 cash but the seller said that he just replaced the spark plugs and cables and the rotor and the radiator cap was missing.When he started it it sounded okay still had that distinct civic sound to it butn the thimg that im worried about is when fed gas to the body it was faintly shaky by ear and sight.I feelscared to punch it if i bought it. Still i ask you is this a good buy regardless i can still fix that easily no?

They also sell more civics because they are cheaper I would assume. To help answer your first question.
