Yes both cars are Hondas and one is a compact sedan but i am torn between these two.
I know the civic has better fuel performance and a more recent model but it looked cramped( tight) and the body tends to age quickly ( my observation).
On the other hand, the accord seem more luxurious and better styled. I am just worried about the transmission -ish and the legs( though my review on users opinion on the edmund page no one mentioned legs as an issue).
Please i need help from users, experts and mechanic

It will be just for running around town in the southern part of the country. I rarely travel so long distance journey might be an occasional thing.
I appreciate kind response from everyone

Both cars are reliable and readily available parts. though the Civic has higher ground clearance than the Accord. which ever you buy you are covered

I would have prefer the 2002 to 05 Civic because

1. It is more fuel efficient than the Accord

2. Doesn't experience leg pull syndrome

3. can seat 3 at the back and still have a good ground clearance than the Accord with same load.

4. More recent means more parts both as brand-new or tokunbo readily available in Nigerian market.

5. more appealing in out Ward appearance in basic form, sports form or luxurious form (Acura EL)

6. Engine and gear is cheaper than the Accord V6 and close in 4cylinder ACCORD.

7. It doesn't deshape or rust if both vehicles were subjected to same condition Civic would come out tops than the Accord (baby boy)

8. Resale value the Civic still holds it better and would sell faster than the Accord due to Uber demand.

Go for the Civic, make sure it's not the grossly abused one.

I was supporting the 2005 civic over the 2002 accord (baby boy)

Na civic na, i 2 lak dat moto aswear

2019 thread sef

The 2005 Cuvic Is different from 2006 model. From 2006 to 2012 is another generation and more flashing.

Is the 2006 to 2012 better and reliable like the 2002-2005?
