oh god.....i was in that same situation..but the one thing i really loved about the accord when i bought it was the ride quality..it was great..handling and power and torque.....but...the thing i liked about the civic was it's new style and good gas mileage...honestly the civic ended up being more expensive then the accord..you should really try to haggle them down alot..espicially since the 08's are coming VERY soon
