Post Civics > Accord Looks Wise - Am I On Drugs?

I was looking into buying a TSX, but I kept hearing Accord has better value (V6/Nav for the same price as TSX base).

I was at the dealership looking at the Accord V6.

After some time, I just stepped out of thinking the Accord has a V6 engine and.. the Civic looks soooo much better than the Accord. If the Civic kept the same exterior and the same interior as an Accord.. it would be such a hot buy.

I just realised that I really like the way our cars look. Especially 04+.

Sorry, just a ramble.

The 2dr accord is hot....except for the headlights. They flow into the side of the car too much. I think they look weird. Other than that, the Accord is hot. The coupe has a very, very fine a$$.

for me, I saw the 04,05 civic and thought wow, just like every other corolla, lancer etc, the smiley face design of the front loses all the aggressiveness of the 01-03. With a modest kit the 01-03 look bad ***. the 04-05 look like everthing else. Kind of loses the civic look imo. I'm just a fan of the boxy aggressive front of my 02. I really realy hate the 04-05 lights, they look *****.

Accords < Civic ... Bwhahaa... Seriously though, I like the original sharp lines of the 7th gen over the redesigned afterthough. Hahaha... I know I'll get flamed by newer car owners. I like the interior in the Civic for a car in its class its awesome.

if thats what you want i suggest just wait for the 8th gen civic. Our insider that works for honda saids that there going to offer navi, hids and leather all as options for the ex and si civic. Also come with a k series engine too. So basically your going to get what you want a compact accord.

just read the last few pages of the 8th gen civic thread.


I like the new 2dr accords, but i still think the 4dr looks ugly. I like the 04-05's civics better then the 01-03. The 01-03's fronts look too similar to the 6th gens and the colbalt SS has the same front now.

Most people like subtle, but sporty. Too aggressive and your car wont sell, too conservative and people think your car is boring like the corolla.

A 2dr Accord w/ the aero kit (I think it was only for 04 models) looks very sweet. The only thing I don't care for is the grill.

the only thing i HATE about the new accords are the tailights and the grill. the tails of the last gen looks by far the best. look at the JDM Inspire, looks a million times hotter.

I also was considering the TSX but I got 2.9% and an awesome trade-in for the civic so I went for the accord. I don't like the rear end of the accord, but overall it still looks better than the civic sedan. The smaller windows and larger front end just flows better than the boxy civic. It's a way better car too, I don't miss the civic at all.

I would say the '04-'05 civic, unless you can afford one of the new Acura TL's. IMO it's the only other car that Honda makes that compares to my civic.

It might depends how old do you look.

if you look above 30, then a full equi. accord coupe will make you look better.

if you look below 30, then a full equip civic coupe will make you look better.

Afterall, if you have the ability to fully support a car all by yourself, you look good in no matter which new car. On the contrary, if mama papa are involved in the paying process, then nothing can make you look nice.

I disagree...I got my car from my parents for free and after some nice interior and now exterior mods I think I look pretty good in it whether or not I paid for it. Heck the younger guys at the dealership were telling my mom how nice of a car she has, and that they couldnt believe she was that passionate about her car, the one time she dropped it off for me! Too bad that was all my doing.

Thats a very good question. I think the answer is that becuase our TL is in the price range of what that is supposed to be (in Japan) and it looks sharp. Our Accord is supposed to be a mass produced vehicle while there it fills a luxery market. Their Accord fills the the mass production market there, although it looks hot too. I belive our TSX is equipped with more things (externally) than the Accord there.
