  • 2023 Honda Accord vs 2023 Honda Civic review by The Straight Pipes. The 2023 Honda Accord is putting down 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque and the 2023 Civic is putting down 180 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque from the same 1.5L Turbo 4 Cylinder. At $37,000 CAD($29,060 USD) for the Accord and $33,350 CAD($29,060 USD) for the Civic, would you take the Top Trim Civic or Lowest Trim Accord?

    So glad someone finally did this head to head.
    The Taurus, I mean Accord, seems to have been neutered down to fulltime commuter status. Gone are the days of V6s and 2.0Ts, 6MTs and 10ATs, coupes, etc: it's now all about comfort and mpgs. It makes sense; those things sell the most. Just a shame that most of what made the variety in the Accord lineup fun to drive is now gone. Between the two, especially with the nearly equal price, the choice would be a Civic.

I couldn't get a 10th gen because of the silly markups, so I ended up with a 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT (a hatchback). It has leather interior, heated seats AND a huge panoramic sun roof. The 2023 Civic can't even top that as a 4 year newer vehicle 😆I unknowingly ended up with a superior product AND got it for 16k used.

    You can just buy premium leather seat covers for the accord for $500. And there are so many minute differences that at the end of the day, the utility of the larger accord wins out for me. Civic can keep the wireless charger, steering wheel warmer and rear heated seats.

    I loved Accords, had 2 before. But I am sorry to say that Honda completely missed the boat with the new generation Accord. While they tamed the designs, almost too much, especially the front, the Accord has completely lost its technical identity. The previous version lost the V6, but at least it offered a powerful 2.0 turbo with a manual. But now you get nothing, no manual, no power. I am not really sure what happened to Honda on this one. Just a glaring miss.

    We live in Virginia and just purchased a 2024 Civic Touring very similar in look to what you drove. But here there is no heated steering wheel. Our has Goodyear Eagle Sport M+S 235 40R 18s. I use to sell Honda’s & Toyota’s so I know the game. We got out the door for $30K with rear spoiler. I have installed ceramic tint and plan on adding HPD kit and upgrading the cat-back exhaust just for better mellow sound. We are old and don’t really drive fast like we use to. We really liked your comparison review and it was very informative and helpful. I was looking at the Corolla but the Civic crushes it in looks and overall performance. Not felling them hybrids yet. So we jump on this one which may be the last of the 100% ICE Civics. This car is a great value in today’s market and no other compact sedan can touch this one. I do wish it wasn’t a CVT but it is good for our driving habits. They had a Type R in the show room and had it marked up to $67K. Wifey didn’t want that and she was happy with the features and cost of the civic. This is here replacement for her 2000 Avalon XLS which was dying a slow death. Damn she actually cried when we signed over the title. 😢😅
