Honda Car Forum

I guess everything has grown. I was just comparing the dimensions
of my 94 Accord LX 4 cylinder to the current 4-cylinder Honda
models, and it looks like my car is closer to the current Civic than
the Accord.

Does that mean the ride, noise, etc. of the Civic would be about the
same as my old Accord? Looks like in round numbers you save about
$5000 going with the Civic.

My 88 Accord is still bigger than a new Civic, so your 94 certainly is,
enough to make a difference in my opinion.

the interior dimentions of my 98 civic are pretty close to the 97
accord. guess thats why they keep making accords bigger

For interior space, SoCalMike's '88 Accord has a good case to be
today's Civic.
The '94 is a bit larger, though all of them share many dimensions
within 1" of each other

When looking at the 2003 models, I felt that the Civic was more open. The
interior seems more spacious to me.

I was shopping for, and bought, the Civic Hybrid, and never drove an
Accord.
