Best looking Civic to date versus the worst looking Accord to date.
Really? Imo this accord is one of the best looking Hondas ever. Much better than this civic.
Dunno what you talking about, I absolutely love new Accord
i actually kinda like this new accord. the front end is a little controversial. but the interior and the rear is top notch
Civic reborn: am i a joke to you?
Yeah, the Accord looks like it was AI generated. It's just a no character blob.
Absolutely love the new Accord. Looks so sleek. Spend an extra grand above the sport, get Sport L with leather and heated seats. I don't why people are hating on it cuz it looks absolutely gorgeous and elegant.
I went from a 2020 Camry to a ‘23 Civic. I love Camrys and Accords but something about the civic touring really hooked me in. So much fun to drive
I just bought a brand new 2023 Civic Touring in January 2023. I’m just 4’11” and need a small car. My primary complaint is they keep making the cars bigger! I absolutely love the new Civic, but I wish it was a small as my ‘02 Civic LX.
Honda really knocked it out of the park with this 11th gen redesign. I really love the Civic’s understated exterior and semi-luxury, gorgeous interior. The driver’s seat has 8-way adjustable power too.
And it’s less expensive than the Accord. For me, it’s the clear winner.
It's almost the same price
Just bought a meteorite gray 2023 accord touring hybrid, with the desert package. Damn I hated the body at first, because I showed up to buy a civic. When I saw the accord in person, I fell for it a lot because pictures dont capture it correctly in my opinion. I’m an artist by trade, so I tend to focus on aesthetics. Also, the interior is freaking great, Bose speakers, AC seats, and an improvement over previous years. Also, it has self driving like a Tesla. Gets like. 50mpgs nearly. Have not second guessed this decision even one time.
Already have my heart set on the civic sport sedan (cdn spec). It specs out just right for me, love the styling. We get a moonroof, heated steering wheel/seats and dual climate control in Canada. I'm going to be ordering a 2024 within the next month. Getting it in aegean blue metallic. Super excited!!! 😊
I've got the Civic hybrid sport trim in Europe in the same colour as yours, but here it's known as Premium Crystal Blue. Great on fuel, I average 4.5L/100km.
Good for you guys. I really want to have NA engine not the turbo but still want the heated seats..
I think the bigger screen should have been a 1 point difference instead of half, but I agree with the conclusion. The 11th gen civic wins!
Great comparison of the two Honda vehicles. I have driven both and settled on the Accord because of its power and a little larger interior space. I am fairly big guy and that had a lot to do with the choice. Being slightly larger the Accord seemed like it would be safer in an accident. Thank you, guys, as always great video!
Don't test drive a genesis g70 3.3t unless you're ready to buy
Thanks, Martin!
Same price with m340i
@@CarConfections You guys are welcome.
@@mrmyagi6710 OK!
Civic hands down: cheaper, has a manual trans, has a hatch, rear legroom and space not that small despite being a compact car.
Bro it's almost the same price as an Accord. It's not realistically as cheap like before anymore.
Also Accord is hybrid and much better mpg.
@@ahmedshahab4105 In Toronto the 2023 Accord Sport-L Hybrid is 9k more than the 2024 Civic Touring. 9k is a big difference tbh
No 6MT for Civic , except Si Sedan, and Sport Touring and Type R Hatchback. (LOVE my '18 ST 6MT!)
Great video. Enjoyed it. Can you do the Sportage vs k5 next.
As a 38 year loyal customer of Honda/Acura, I really wanted to like the new Accord. However, as the satisfied owner of a '21 Accord Touring 2.0T, the '23 falls well short of my hopes and expectations. I just wish that Honda would have nixed the 1.5T engine, offered the hybrid as their core engine and kept the amazing 2.0T for those of us who prefer the higher performance. When I replace my '21, I'm sad to say that it will likely not be with a Honda product for the first time since getting my very first Honda. (a 1980 Honda Prelude), when I was 17 years old.
Seems like Honda has moved the 2.0 upmarket between civic type R , Integra type s, and TLX. I also wonder how much of this is related to improving overall mpg for the fleet since no EV option exists yet. 38 years is a long time! I stayed with Nissan 17 until recently switching to Acura.
I agree I have a 10th gen Touring and the 23 is 10 steps backwards and ugly
@Nobody I kept my first Honda for 14 years, it was a 7th gen Accord LX V6 (3.0L NA). I buy most my Honda's at the 3 to 4 year mark, mostly Lease turn-ins. I can usually get one for 70% off retail from when it was new. Saved thousands over the years buying well maintained Honda's and they just keep going.
@Nobody lots of people lease
@Nobody I didn't say I wanted to get rid of it. I said I wanted to like the '23 Accord. That does not mean I was going to run out and dump my '21 for a '23. It does let me know that I won't be buying an 11th generation Accord whether it be a '23 or a '27, if the best Honda can offer is 204hp.
Very helpful, thanks! Just can't seem to decide between these two for my next car.
Glad to help!
Thanks for the insightful comparison between the 2023 Honda Accord and the 2023 Honda Civic. It helped me choose the right model for my needs.
That's what we like to hear! Thanks
Accord for the larger size and value $$...great job!
I got the accord ex white ,the looks, space, heated seats ,sunroof love it 💯👊
I just got mine. I love it
Deciding between an Accord EX-L and a Civic touring right now. This was helpful! I'll need to test drive the cars again to make a final call, but leaning towards the Accord atm.
This should have been done with top trims for both models. I just bought the accord touring and I'm loving it!
its based by their price
Most of people don't go with trop trim and they try to compare what you are getting for the similar cost.
Excellent comparison as per usual!😸
What if I am comparing the Civic hatchback sport touring vs the accord sport?
I am looking for a car that’s fun to drive while being not too expensive, but efficient and reliable. I like the look of the civic hatchback better and don’t have the requirements of a family car being a single. I am also open to other suggestions that fit my requirements under 35k (new cars)
Just got the accord ex and i love it great gas mpg, nice interior and drives great!
All the funny reviews were right, this new Accord does look like an AI generated NPC car. I used to be a big Accord fan, but buying this new civic over the Accord makes much more sense now.
I like both of them! I don’t know which one I would pick
Which car is wider? Trying to decide. My apartment has a very narrow garage
The civic top trim should have rear vent for the back passengers.
all accord trims should have rear vents
@@cameron6249 you right for that ridiculous price.
@@cameron6249 (re the Accord) and heated seats for northern States and Cda sales.
CVTs are a hard pass for me. CVTs are useless just like EVs or fords.
I’m trying to upgrade my 2013 Honda accord but idk if I wanna get the 2023 accord or the 2023 civic need help deciding
Same
Great Comparison review.
Thanks!
I bought the same color accord you showed, absolutely love it. I can get 48mpg some days
Mabrook ya bro. Dua for me as well. I want to buy an Accord too.
I have a 2023 palisade calligraphy and I don’t do much driving really and before moving to Kia/Hyundai I was a die hard Honda guy and had a 2016 accord and 2019 accord and loved them but just started feeling like I was getting the same car over and over again and Honda wasn’t trying to update and was just comfortable because we bought the cars regardless. Anyway I say this to say for some reason I want to get myself a accord because want that car feel and great mileage and feel like they finally tried to give you more finally but it would just be pointless for me to get a 2nd car because I barely even drive the car I gave now. Lol
If it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality on Honda's part. I would not want to deal with the head aches I hear my friends have with their Kia/Hyundai cars.
Exl has sensors, I think you should have compared civic touring to exl trim. Sport strips many things out for larger rims and blacked out plastic for the kids
Great comparison between the two. Gotta go for the accord. Keep up the good work.
I bought a new 2022 Accord Special Edition a few months ago and I’m so glad I didn’t wait. This new Accord looks like it devolved and has the same engine as the previous gen.
Excellent comparison. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
This is very cool. please do more comparisons. Ioniq 5 v Ioniq 6 v EV6.
I have that exact accord. I love it
I picked the civic hatch sport touring, I needed that extra flexibility but the accord was super nice and it was super spacious, but the civic isn’t THAT much smaller inside. It’s smaller for sure, but if the accord incorporated the lift back like the civic it would have been a no brainer.
I'm on the exact same boat and I also wanted a manual stick so a Civic it was.
@@EstebanCordero1977 I wanted a standard so bad, I’ve never owned an automatic until this civic. But none where available and I had just totaled my old car and needed to get in something. I hope you enjoy it!!!
You do not account for that eventually the hybrid battery will need to be replaced. This adds quite an expense (estimates are 3K-8K) to the Accord for long term ownership. Accords/Civics (gas models) are known to go 150,000-200,000 mile with no big issues. I had been driving Accords L model for many years. They no longer make the L model in an non hybrid Accord. I've owned two hybrid model Accords (2017 and 2019) which I had to sell when they hit 95,000 miles (I have along commute) since the battery goes out of warranty at 100,000 and the estimates are all over the place to replace the hybrid battery. I was willing to pay 3K but not 8K. Since they don't make a gas only Accord-L any longer, I purchased a CR-V-L in a gas only model. Nice, but I miss my Accord. If you do lots of miles, these are the issues you face with Hybrid cars. Check your state law since the Hybrid system is part of the emission control, the warranty is determined by State law: IE: Pennsylvania requires 100K warranty on the battery, New Jersey requires 150K. I can't imagine the cost of a hybrid motor or a high energy converter.
2 different markets. Accord is definitely geared towards a older audience although it has more space for families unless you buy a civic hatchback which hybrid configuration next year will be my winner. Hopefully the pricing will be reasonable. Honda- please make 8 way power passenger seats standard for top trims in civic and especially Accord
In Canada, all trims of the Accord and Civic have heated front heated seats and outside mirrors. (And a 4.5L windshield washer tank vs 2.5L for US.)
good job
Very good👍
I think you guys do an awesome job and I’ve been following you guys for a while. I think it would be cool to see a comparison with the fully loaded Acura Integra versus the accord touring
Thank you! We will make note of that suggestion for a future comparison 👍
Compare both of their fully loaded trims, it’s not fair if both don’t have their fully loaded trims
I was very impreesed by the new civic premium I test drove recently. Looks, fit and finiish, equipment and driving dynamics, all very good BUT the road noise in the cabin is very intrusive, tire noise and wind at highway speed way too loud. For me it was deal breaker, too bad
I probably would pick the Civic over the Accord. I just wish they get rid of the stop start engine at every light technology.
You can turn it off if you dont like it. Thats what i do.
Yes, but not every time when I start up a car
Don’t press on the brake all the way when you stop. That helps
I love both!!! But I gonna perfur Civic guys.
I’m really sick of waiting for the Civic hybrid in America. By the time we get it Europe will have had it for two years and I’m not going to be surprised if there’s somehow still extremely limited supply
I don't get it. That Civic is killing it in Europe
hybrids suck
Honda has the worst hybrids. After warranty the repair costs of a hybrid va non hybrid accord is night and day. You guys will learn! Had two hybrids and mpg went from 50 to 27-34 after software update to keep batteries from degrading. Screw you Honda. Still better than Toyota, but Toyota batteries are better and more reliable guys. Still gonna buy a civic touring, but front two honda hybrids I’ve owned they’re complete trash guys
@@dieselkid10 just lease one, all included and every 3 years i get a new one. The issues are for the suckers buying it after that period...
I’d rather buy the bigger car accord.. but I got the civic because I couldn’t wait. I had to wait over a month for them to come in so I went for the civic and got rid of my accord 2.0 manual clutch is killing me. I live in the city New York.
Vast differences in size and target market to be compared, but great to show potential buyers differences and similarities from same manufacturer. I love my 2020 2.0T Accord and love my 2016 Civic EXT CANADA 🇨🇦 version, and I love my 2023 Acura Integra Elite a spec Canada 🇨🇦 version MT and I love my 2009/ 2017 Honda Ridgeline trucks , and my 2020 2.0T Acura RDX A SPEC Canada 🇨🇦 version, and my 2023 MDX type S, and my F-350 Tremor but appreciate each for what they are , not for what they should beas an owner and wife and kids have similar opinions but have preferences eg my 16 years old son sitting in back behind mom is 6ft 5in and said more comfortable in Integra seats rather than our 2020 2.0T Accord with more leg room on 700kms trip.
I’ll be getting the integra type S. Trading in my 2017 si for it.
what is really frustrating for both civic and accord that non of them have a pano-roof option and awd option. and 360-cam option. it is really heart-breaking.
I would wait for the civic hybrid for a comparison, maybe Honda will offer a AWD option in the accord to, make the decision harder to make. 😂
I went and bought the exl Accord. Why? Hybrid engine, 12.3 inch screen, lumbar support, rear vent, more space, led all lights (including turn), memory seating. I’m could do without the fog lights, home link and Bose.
Very informative indeed. I rather go for Accord.
Maybe you should’ve posted this tomorrow so it would be mashup monday
i'd love to see a civic hatchback and hrv comparison
They are making these cars too large.
Exactly! This is my primary complaint. I’m 4’11” and need a small car. I’m a Civic girl and just bought a brand new 2023 Civic Touring in January 2023. I absolutely love it but I do wish it was smaller, like my previous ‘02 Civic LX. The Accord is just way too big for me, especially the interior cabin.
I'd take a new civic hatch with the 2L/mt over the new accord.
Looking nice
I’m going Accord. Slightly better interior, faster, more fuel efficient, and more spacious!
Accord isn't faster than the higher trim turbocharged Civic. Why? Accord weighs several hundred pounds more than the Civic, neutralizing any power difference.
@@braetonwilson4296The Sport Hybrid is definitely faster, it does 0-60 mph in 6.6 secs whereas the Civic Touring does it in 7.5 seconds.
@@braetonwilson4296It’s mainly the 248 lb ft of torque in the Accord that makes the difference. The hp is basically the same considering the weight difference (power to weight ratio)
yes I was comparing the base Accord LX with the gasoline engine.
@@braetonwilson4296 ohh kk yea the base level Accords are not it haha
Yes the wheels look nice. But makes for a bouncy ride . Have a feeling the LX civic is a better ride. I did pull a 6 on the 0 to 60
You have to turn off the auto stop,start. That easily adds 2 seconds and is so stupid.

The civic just looks better and more sportier and premium while the accord has a relaxed stance design and looks a bit less sportier and less premium. But i wouldnt mind the accord only because the horn is stronger and tougher and the civic has a cheaper sounding and weaker horn.
A horn?????? 😂😂😂
A horn upgrade costs very little...
What is the name of that paint on Accord?
Urban Gray metallic
@@CarConfections Thank you!
Thank you my Brothers from another Mother for this review. I'm literally torn between these 2 cars. If only Honda made an Accordic!
Glad to help!
Looks good
I want a Civic Hybrid Hatchback!
5th lol I own a civic and it's way better styled than the accord imo
anyone know if future Honda or Toyota sedans will be AWD
The Toyota sedans already offer AWD
Beautiful
Engine and power trains should be added. Men like that
The accord is a masterpiece..i LOVE the new refined classy look..looks like an audi.
I keep waiting for the new Accords designed to grow on me just not. I really like the Civic. I loved the previous Accord. I think I might go with a slightly used G70 for not much more $
my gawd Honda has a styling problem....If you want curves, you must buy an Acura.
Should have compared the Ex civic to lx accord
A whole point for 2 extra cu. ft of space in the trunk????
which has better acceleration?
The Accord
@@CarConfections that’s strange Bc accord is rated 7.5 zero to sixty and civic is in the mid 6 I believe
Accords have been going downhill since 2018. The new Civics look great though! This is definitely the best looking Civic so far. I have always picked Accord over the civic, but not this year!
Both the exterior and interior of the Civic looks much better than the Accord. Also, the Civic has more standard features in the interior though the set up of materials look identical which sucks because you get the full size sedan for a different (better) equipment and options) not the same duplicated items. The Forte, Corolla & Elantra which are in the same class as the Civic look completely different than their bigger siblings (K5, Camry & Sonata) but with the Accord it’s like you’re getting the same exact blown version of the car plus a little uglier in the exterior with the Accord. Minus the fog lights. Personally I’d buy the Civic.
Accord if come out with a lift back would get a lot of market share from other SUV .
Civic looks better; but I'm not feeling the Accord. Honda should go back to the sportier 2022 design, and change up tail lights. What exactly do rain sensing wipers do?
The new Accord looks so bland compared to its previous generation.
Right... The design philosophy reminds me of the Ford Freestyle. The Freestyle looked like the base from which all CUVs and SUVs come from. The Accord looks like the same thing but for sedans.
I have accord 2020 model and i love my car. I was waiting for new model so i can change this to 2023 for new shape it sucks. Pruis is much better choice for hybrid engines. But i am so disappointed. Infact very sad.
I like civic this gen more how does civic have fog lamps but not the accord .. wild
I just purchased the Honda civic sport 2023.two things I don’t like the audio system is horrible weak radio reception and no Sirius XM 😮 over all I rate the audio system 👎
please NEVERRRRR get rid of the volume knob. Major Honda W.
I will go the Accord
Beautiful ❤️😍
Honda accord is so big … amazing
It’s a big disappointment that the highest trim level for the accord now only comes with a cvt transmission and only 204 horsepower.
eCVTs are not really CVTs.
Honda Civic mk8 is my favorite .,
Gorgeous civic
I don't know anymore, I think the Accords are cheaper since Civics are harder to come by. In CA anyway.
what a lazy design by the accord team. they basically just brought everything from the civic to the accord. I'm still in love with my 2018 accord with the 2.0 turbo 6 SPEED MANUAL. if i could have one thing from the 2023 version into my 2018 will be the full screen cluster display, other than that there’s nothing else i would change about my car
Why can't purchasers get 1. 4 wheel drive 2. XM Radio 3. A Spare Tire 4. A heated Steering Wheel on their 2023 Honda Accord? Honda should consider fixing these glaring deficiencies
2-If you have Android Auto, or Apple CarPlay, you don't need XM in the sound system, as it's available as an app.
4-Heated steering wheel standard in Accord Touring, Civic Touring and Si Sedan, as well as Sport Touring Hatchback.
Wow. The Accord looks hellish in the opening part of the video. Maybe it’s the color? 😐
Color is 👌🏽
They ruined the exterior of the Accord
I'm now up for this comparison -awaiting to see a hybrid Sport Accord in Urban Grey & A Civic Touring in Sonic Grey since all Kia k5's are marked up & my transaction didn't pan out. I will have to rely on in person view & test drive cause while both are nice cars & I'm loving the tech..only thing is neither has me captivated in their appearance & esthetics
Why do you score cars higher with bigger wheels??? Bigger wheels are more expensive, more prone to be bent by potholes and use more fuel. And the tires are very expensive to replace with bigger rims.
They need to fire their designers
Civic Touring all the way
