Default 2008 Civic or 2008 Accord?

the main things i'm looking at for the car is (ranked):1. Safety2. Reliability 3. Gas Mileage4. Price5. Style6. Otherthe accident was pretty horrible, my friends car was destroyed and i just want to make sure if it ever happened to me while i was driving that i was as safe as i could be. AccordReliability is pretty big also, obviously i don't want a car that will die but since both my choices are h ondas i think i'm ok there. Either?Gas is very important, because i will drive to college and work next year so that had me leaning towards civic.Price: CivicStyle: Personally i like the accords style over the civic. The civic has a sporty look but this will be my second car and i want something like the accord but its not as important as the other four.so... civic or accord?also, was wondering if i should also consider a toyota, if so what kind?

My daily driver is an Accord (I love it), it's an '03 and it has 110k on it and runs like a beauty. If you can afford it, the new Accord has great safety features (airbags/ ABS, etc.), and technology. They are a bit pricey though. My sister owns a Civic, and it's a pretty decent car with great gas mileage, but it doesn't come with ABS unless you get the top of the line model. If money's tight, get the Civic, you'll lack a couple of saftey features, but it is a safe car. Either way, you'll be getting a great and reliable Honda.

The Accord is much safer than the Civic. You should consider the Camry, it is a heavier and safer car than the Accord. Toyota also gives better fuel economy... but their engines aren't as powerful as Honda. That's the trade off.

How big a car do you need? Civics and Corollas are good small cars. I prefer the Camry or the Accord as they are roomier and still get good mileage,Toyota and Honda are both good choices.

If you are looking for the best gas economy I would say a civic which also delivers style, performance, if you are more into power then a V6 Accord would do, either way as long as is a Honda.If you want a car that will start giving you problems as soon as you buy it then get the Focus like that guy said, you khow Ford vehicles really suck.

Why don't you do the research yourself instead of asking to be spoonfed information. In other words, just google it.
