Even if we ignore the difference in size (and what that represents in dollar figure), the cost to get 70hp reliably, upgraded transmission, the adaptive suspension, the added features such as HUD heated and Cooled seats, it would cost more than 10k. But this comparison really shows how far the Civic has evolved. Its basically a small luxury car now.

[@GoldenNada]

crazy thing is in the real world it isn't a 10k difference heck civics are marked up so much it might not even be a 5k difference especially if you go for the often time's cheaper 2.0 sport.

[@phil8761]

For me it's still the Accord 2.0 hands down. It's factor based for anyone looking at these two. What can be afforded at the moment, how long does one plan to keep the car, and ones age. The first is self explanatory. You should only buy what you can actually afford. The second is a bit different. If I just need something to get me around for the next few years, I'm not going to drop a lot of money on it. If I plan to keep it a good while, I want the best I can get. Last, age is about transitional years. What I want in my teens and 20s will usually be different from my 30s and 40s. I could see more younger people going for the Civic, and middle aged to older people going for the Accord.

[@dianabrown6479]

That's so true. Get what you can afford. I'm looking to buy a new car. And I'm leaning toward the Accord.

Well I'm in my 30s and my interests haven't changed much from my 20s but me personally I'll probably get the civic because it's still more affordable and it has improved a lot.. it's almost like a mini accord now so I'll buy it.. only thing I wished is that they had kept the coupe model that would of been my top choice honestly.

[@stephenvivian6178]

Loved the review. I did this same comparison this past week and ended up buying the Accord. The ride feels more premium due to the bigger engine, 10 speed transmission, and compliance over bumps and rough patches probably because of the adaptive dampers and wheel base. The rear seat passengers get heated seats and climate vents while the Civic gives neither in the US. The Civic is a great not so little car though and is the better bang for your buck, especially the hatchback but the price difference is around $8k in the US when comparing both top trims and the hatch.

Yeah Accord is soon due for a refresh, Honda has given no info yet to dealers but because of covid you never know, it could be a 2023 or 2024 Accord. The 10th generation Civic Type-R came out 2017, the 10th generation Accord soon followed in 2018. Following that pattern plus covid it might not be until the 2024 model year, not 2023.

Depends on the year and trim level, but I was able to negotiate a 2020 Accord Sport for $2400 more than the 2020 Civic Hatch Sport (new and in 2020). At that price, seemed a no brainer and that I’d likely regret not getting the larger car and extra features. Also, this is a last year versus first year comparison. The difference will likely NOT be 10k. Civic will go closer to sticker as a new redesign where the Accords will likely need incentives to move since a new Accord is coming in 2023. So it will not be a 10k difference in final price.

There is a way to completely turn off civic traction. I don’t know if you guys did this. When i first saw this i thought it wouldn't work but it does. Here it is: 1. Turn the car to one position. 2. Parking brake off. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal. 4. Turn traction control on and off. 5. Parking brake on. 6. Release the brake pedal. 7. Turn traction control on and off. 8. Press and hold the brake pedal. 9. Turn traction control on and off.

My wife loves her V6 (278 hp) Touring Accord. It is surprisingly quick.

[@ronnie2k685]

Did the same comparison. Ended up getting the accord due to comfortability and back seat space. I also noticed a big difference when driving it on the highway. The accord was just comfortable and the civic felt like my 2010 Toyota Corolla and I was not having any of it. Both amazing cars but for my needs the accord was the way to go.

I have a 2018 civic and the sound proof is not very good honestly, but 10 gen civic has the most aggressive designed of its exterior which I like it the most.

Great comparison. I think the Civic is the one. You can't beat that fuel economy these days. I'm predicting that gas prices are not going down significantly. Ever. There's too much crazy stuff going on in the world and our country and I don't see an end to it.

If price is the biggest concern, you could take the 2018 accord touring which is the same price as the new civic...

When the Civic hatchback came out they were marked up right to Accord pricing, which really made the Accord seem like a better deal.

[@B-Diddy-6]

Wife has the 22 Civic Touring, I have the 20 Accord Touring 2.0, we love them both! The Civic is the best model of civic yet, top notch, and a great value, and would sell like crazy if there was stock. The Accord is a phenomenal value as well.

[@Adam-cn7it]

Such a great video. Top quality car review channel and it's always great getting more 22 Civic content!

[@pecosR0B]

tbh can't go wrong with either car. I had a 2018 Civic Touring and loved it (until it was totaled due to an elderly lady) and now I'm in a 2021 Accord Hybrid Touring and love it. Don't think I could go back to a Civic at this point, or a non hybrid Accord. I do like how the Civic looks more than the Accord, though.

[@Kingkelso23]

Of all the cars I’ve owned from Nissan/Infiniti, Mercedes, & I love Chevy too. 😂 My 2021 Accord 2.0 Touring in sonic gray is literally one of my all time favorite cars. It feels very premium, the turbo is always ready to go. I never want to get rid of it. I get a lot of compliments on the car as well everywhere I go.

[@jonaveul]

I actually have both cars, a 2021 accord sport, and a 2022 civic touring. I like the civic better, cheaper for almost the same car. The main thing I only pay $96 full coverage for the civic , and $126 for the accord.

Bought a 2021 Accord Touring Hybrid , hated the “premium audio” and low profile tires that rode hard. Added decent speakers ,amplifier and went down in rim-tire size, major improvement. Actually which they offered phev and 300 + hp on the Accord , that would be awesome.

[@wbwayne8887]

Next generation Accord should be out sooner than later. Hopefully a PHEV will be included in the lineup.

[@FreewayBrent]

Does reducing the rim/tire size below the manufacturer's stock size negatively impact handling and steering in any way? I've always wondered about that. One thing I hate about the 17 inch alloy stock wheels on my 2018 Toyota Corolla iM over the 15 inch standard wheels in the Australian model of the same hatchback (which I've driven several times over in Sydney) is that the 17 inch alloy wheels and tires just flat out ride harder and make the car as a whole bouncier. Can't stand it. I'm actually in the process of downgrading to a 2022 Kia Rio sedan. Had the 2018 Rio hatchback (same generation and both ride on the same wheelbase) and the 15 inch tires made that car more stable and planted vs. what I'm experiencing in my Corolla iM.

[@jamesmedina2062]

@@FreewayBrent I went from 18" to 17" in a Civic and it made a big difference but the shocks are worn out now. That makes a big difference too. Hopefully I don't have to replace control arms and bushings.

[@KrustyKrabPizza85]

Had a 2018 Accord 2.0. Only complaint was the audio system. It had the 450watt premium audio with sub. It was mediocre at best. My old 2005 Accord with premium sound was bumping better because it was rocking 6x9 speakers on the rear. Only advantage of the 2018 audio was slight audio clarity and android auto / apple carplay

[@NorthernLaw_]

I agree it's not the best, next generation will fix that for sure, however I had a 2017 Accord and the 2018 is definitely an improvement, not groundbreaking, but it's way better than 2017

[@imbad207]

A CVT doesn't have set gear ratios. Some have a manual mode which does have sort of set ratios but a CVT is continuously variable which means it's essentially just contracting and expanding and making almost infinite set of gears. That's why they are so fuel efficient

Honda makes them simulate gears as do many manufacturers

Interesting comparo. I did my own back in 2008 and decided on getting a used 2004 accord in the highest trim. However I really like the latest gen civic. In terms of refinement, quality and features, the gap between the two seems smaller. I like you using the parking lot to demo the turning radius.
