I've got an 06 Civic Sedan and I love it. It's a great car, rides nicely, handles well, looks good and gets good (34-36 mpg) mileage. The 06 Civic was the 1st year of the redesign, so this body style will be around a few years. The Accord has been out a while, so a 2008 redesign for it may be true. The Accord is a bigger, nicer and more expensive car. If you need that and can afford it, that's what I'd get. But if you are looking for something more affordable and don't neccesarily need bigger car, the Civic could be for you. Go to the Honda dealer and check them out for yourself.
