Do Cayman (GTS 4.0) vs 911! May the truest sports car win =)
I'm will be using the Tsp truecar summer time. Im going get a SUV or station wagon not sure yet
I may be in the minority, but Imprezza and Legacy would be an interesting watch for me

Pretty good concept, feel like you could do this with most brands.
Huracan vs Aventador next
Shud do a wrx vs sti wen it comes out
@@TheStraightPipes That's gonna be LIT
So true lol. How do car companies get away with this bullshit
@@TheStraightPipes haha please, one for us common folk
Even if we ignore the difference in size (and what that represents in dollar figure), the cost to get 70hp reliably, upgraded transmission, the adaptive suspension, the added features such as HUD heated and Cooled seats, it would cost more than 10k. But this comparison really shows how far the Civic has evolved. Its basically a small luxury car now.
crazy thing is in the real world it isn't a 10k difference heck civics are marked up so much it might not even be a 5k difference especially if you go for the often time's cheaper 2.0 sport.
@@GoldenNada sadly that is absolutely the truth. I was just talking to my best friend a few hours ago about the civic markups in Miami Florida being $8,000-$12,000 depending on trim and people are still lining up to pay it and drive away.
I got a new civic hatchback 500 below MSRP a few months back. You can get a good deal of you are willing to wait 1-2 mo
@@2004cyrus I thought the Type R with the $18,000 markup was the worse, but the $12,000 for a regular Civic beats it by far! These damn car prices are so ridiculous and people and still paying it, and then they are wondering why they are all broke AF.
@@SI0AX yes I took photos of the crazy ass window stickers and sent them to friends and family who said I doubt the markups are that high. They all got mad and said that some bull sh*t! And I believe the government, Biden and them, they are going to let gas prices double and make us Marxist. They want us to be broke so we will be dependent upon their small handouts and corporations can get richer and give them kickbacks.
I love how you guys are being creative and differentiating from other car review youtubers. Also 13:00 crazy edits!
Absolutely dig the new videos and cinematography, it's pure entertainment.
I really love the back and forth dialogue as you two were driving down the road together. Really interesting concept!
Three point turn test, low key, my second favorite test behind the visor test. Straight Pipes EXCLUSIVE!!!!!!!
I thought you'd have timed it too though...
For everyday use, the civic is definitely the better deal. Would buy for under $25k. Great comparison.
I’d just option for a CPO Accord 2.0T. The 2.0T and 10-speed is just way better than the 1.5T and CVT. Like no contest.
@@marcusmcneal7453 a 2 year old cpo accord cost as much as a brand new 1 right now lol. Maybe even more lmfaoo.
What about a Kia Rio for another 10k less?
@Rich V
Kia Rio?
not the same segment..
Unfortunately the real prices out there probably won't allow for that. My cousin was getting a civic sport I believe with the 2.0 base engine and it was 28k lol.
First video I've ever seen from the channel. This was soooo good. What a great way to review! Love the real life comparisons and the honesty.
Loved everything about this video. 2021 Honda Accord 2.0T owner here
I absolutely love the back and forth. Not sure how often you guys get two cars from the same manufacturer, but would like to see this format more.
That turning circle test with the ghost accord was SICK. Do that more often please
I agree!
I bought a civic 2022 last year I just found this video in the global suggestion you guys are awesome got a new suscribe
the way yall went about comparing these cars is very well put together
Been looking forward to a comparison between these two for ages. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪
This is by far my favorite video you guys have done 👍👍 i loved it from beginning to end
Does it have something to do with 2 Honda's? 😂❤️
Agreed Jason!
Great video, was really interested in the handling of both. Love that civic. I’ve driven a lot of sports cars, old and new, and my 2016 civic handling is unmatched. Best car ever
Losing the 6-speed manual in the 2.0T Accord is a tragedy. That Accord Sport was a hoot to drive!
Those two cars are so much alike! Always great videos guys!
oh my gosh I thoroughly enjoy watching the two of you go back and forth. This is a win, you are a win. Made my day.
Sweet thanks check out our Integra vs Civic Si if you liked this 👍
HUD is radically underrated. I have the touring accord and it’s my favorite feature
After decades of seeing accords and civics, I honestly cannot tell them apart in this generation.
this was so fun to watch! I was smiling the entire time
You guys should do this more with more brands comparing trims and prices 👍
I love the way you did this video! Best way to do a comparison
The nardo grey Audis in 2018 or so were great, but I didn’t expect milky greys to get old so fast
it does, if u use the Audi paint code.
This is Honda's version lmao and honda has shit paint, look at 2006, gen 9? clear coat civic
@@lucienl9465 I got a 2008 8th gen civic, and the paint is super thin I think. I was told they had paint issues back than so the service man said they dont near the issues as back than. The drivetrain will last longer the body on my car.
@@lucienl9465 2006 is the first year of the 8th gen.
Nardo Grey is great but Honda's has a wierd tint to it IRL. Most brands seem to have their own versions of nardo grey now - getting outplayed now.
There’s a trendy paint color every few years and this became the current one
sweet vid, i actually just hit my 1st year anniversary for my 2021 accord sport 2.0t and i ADORE mine. great cars both of them
I love this one guys, it was simply great. Entertaining and informative. Very sweet.
Just picked up a brand new civic and absolutely love it, your guys video was one of the reasons I moved so fast on it🙌
Congrats
You guys should do more of these entry vs high-end sedans for other models! I would definitely look forward to those!
Accord is not the high end sedan.
Such a great video. Top quality car review channel and it's always great getting more 22 Civic content!
Have to say, your videos are very high quality! Good job guys!!! 💙
Had my 2022 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback, since mid Nov of 2021 and after 6 months I still love this car!! Zero regrets
The Accord is in its fifth model year so a full redesign should be coming by the end of this year, if historical timelines stick in this pandemic. We should also see a new Camry this year since the current Camry went on sale six months before the current Accord in 2017.
Yes, and even though they mention that the '22 is the refresh, the Accord was actually refreshed for the '21 model year.
Usually good selling generations get a full redesign much later.
@@a32tl Correct, and with that came wireless apple carplay which was a MUCH needed upgrade, and those amazing looking wheels that are unparalleled in any other sedan in it's class. Among other features of course and upgrades such as the fog lights and other things, but those 2 that I mentioned first being the biggest and most important in my book.
Yeah Accord is soon due for a refresh, Honda has given no info yet to dealers but because of covid you never know, it could be a 2023 or 2024 Accord. The 10th generation Civic Type-R came out 2017, the 10th generation Accord soon followed in 2018. Following that pattern plus covid it might not be until the 2024 model year, not 2023. Considering the Type-R has not even been revealed yet, it is coming for the 2023 model year though according to Honda
I hope the next generation is released for 2023, that update will put the accord on another level
hey guys! thanks so much! i've been wanting this kind of comparison video for so long! it's a great format! would be so cool to see bmw 3 vs bmw 5, audi a4 vs a6 etc...
i just love the back and forth between you guys😂
I strayed from a lifelong Honda owner to a Mazda in 2021. I ultimately bought a Mazda CX 30 turbo which you guys reviewed. I’ve been very happy with the purchase.
FINNALLY a 2.0T review! THANK YOU!!!
The exact video i needed to listen through my bathroom break 🤣 Thanks bois, great timing, amazing video 😎
loved this comparison! you guys rock!
Did the same comparison. Ended up getting the accord due to comfortability and back seat space. I also noticed a big difference when driving it on the highway. The accord was just comfortable and the civic felt like my 2010 Toyota Corolla and I was not having any of it. Both amazing cars but for my needs the accord was the way to go.
Loved the review. I did this same comparison this past week and ended up buying the Accord. The ride feels more premium due to the bigger engine, 10 speed transmission, and compliance over bumps and rough patches probably because of the adaptive dampers and wheel base. The rear seat passengers get heated seats and climate vents while the Civic gives neither in the US. The Civic is a great not so little car though and is the better bang for your buck, especially the hatchback but the price difference is around $8k in the US when comparing both top trims and the hatch.
Do they make a civic hybrid hatchback?
@@tastybrownie7448 Nope.
@@troyjollimore4100 Bummer
@@tastybrownie7448 You might see one, but if things go according to their ‘New World Order’ plan, it’ll be a pure EV instead.
@@troyjollimore4100 its called saving the planet. catch-up please.
I got the 18 accord 2.0T 6spd and its so fun and practical at the same time. Plus with mods and tune making some good power now it's a genuine sleeper
I have it in San Marino red
Great video Gents .. lot of fun to watch .. Given that gas is going to $10 in CA .. the Civic is the man !! Thank you 🙏🏼
The 10 speed transmission alone is a reason to go with the accord
THIS is the quality normal car content we need!
The Civic has gotten so big. It’s a 7/8th scale Accord.
to be fair. that’s my only complain against the 11th gen civic
Yeah, in some angles they look basically the same in size.
You can get the hatchback, it's shorter than the sedan
@@zhila5958 it’s the same size as the last generation
The last "small" Civic was the 7th gen though.
Wish that color was offered for my 2017 Accord Touring 😍
And I blacked out all the chrome on mine and it changes the entire look of it!
Very educational & entertaining. Thanks guys
Love these comparison vids so much 😁
Jacub and Yuri: *calling Accord a luxury car*
Acura: Am I a joke to you?
I'm a lawyer defending my client
Yes, Acura is a joke
@@n52gremlin15 said no one ever
@@pantherdxn4835 name an exciting/amazing/cutting edge product they currently make. A product that you compare to other cars in their respective classes that you truly want. I’ll wait. It’s disappointing, but the brand is totally lost.
@@diego04cr2 not sure why you're looking for "exciting/amazing/cutting edge" with an entry-level luxury brand that still undercuts its rivals on lower-priced trim levels. the rdx and mdx have great reviews and the integra is based on a solid si. the only good argument against acura really should be that the koreans are legit direct competitors that also offer solid value propositions, but their trade off for the added luxury/features is driving dynamics.
So helpful yet entertaining! Thank you.
great comparison video guys keep up the good work i am getting civic 2022 touring soon....
I just picked up the 2022 accord last December as my first car. And honestly it’s amazing. It’s super fun to drive and it’s practical
Did you spring for the 2.0T?
@@a32tl yeah I did. It definitely makes it a cooler car in my opinion to know that I can beat most cars at a light. The fuel economy leaves a little to be desired tho.
@@Justin_hsi I have a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T that I absolutely love. It is quick. As far as fuel economy, the majority of my driving is highway so I average well over 29 mpg.
Awesome, is it a touring though?
@@NorthernLaw_ yeah. 22 2.0 Touring. The additional “luxury” features are really nice
This generation of the Accord is legendary - it's like a German luxury sedan for less money. Either way Honda makes the best sedans in their classes
The biggest difference is in the engine design. I'd get the Civic if it weren't for the history of oil dilution issue for the .5L. That 2.0L is solid as a rock and that is more valuable than any Civic advantages combined.
I’d love a si vs touring hatch comparison haha. They’re basically the same price but I wonder what the trade offs are drive wise 🤔
Accord all day, especially 2.0 touring. Miss the old 19 inch touring wheels that came with the pre refresh model, but these look fine.
You liked the old touring wheels? Damn I've never seen anyone say that before, I cannot express how good the new ones are, they literally took what everyone loved, the 2017 Sport wheels, and made them better, these are my all time favorite Honda wheels, other than the Civic Type-R LE
@@NorthernLaw_ yes I think it made the new model what it is. Those wheels are awesome too just think they’re for the previous generation. I like the Audi like look they give this generation. But that’s just my eye, I wouldn’t not want them though.
Got a 2020 touring & I love the rims
These wheels are awful I like the grim reaper looking wheels however they are hot commodity to get stolen
Yes Accord all the way. Accord so much roomier on the inside. Get an Accord people. Great Vehicle
I have no complaints about my 19 Accord Touring for a daily driver. Excellent car!
Cooled seats, hud, hybrid and 2.0t and 1.5 liter options, more room, a 10 speed transmission. Hands down worth it
Great Review!!! Kash loves it. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Mr. Yuri for the “leak”
Interesting comparo. I did my own back in 2008 and decided on getting a used 2004 accord in the highest trim. However I really like the latest gen civic. In terms of refinement, quality and features, the gap between the two seems smaller. I like you using the parking lot to demo the turning radius.
7th gen gang lol
For me it's still the Accord 2.0 hands down. It's factor based for anyone looking at these two. What can be afforded at the moment, how long does one plan to keep the car, and ones age. The first is self explanatory. You should only buy what you can actually afford. The second is a bit different. If I just need something to get me around for the next few years, I'm not going to drop a lot of money on it. If I plan to keep it a good while, I want the best I can get. Last, age is about transitional years. What I want in my teens and 20s will usually be different from my 30s and 40s. I could see more younger people going for the Civic, and middle aged to older people going for the Accord.
That's so true. Get what you can afford. I'm looking to buy a new car. And I'm leaning toward the Accord.
Well I'm in my 30s and my interests haven't changed much from my 20s but me personally I'll probably get the civic because it's still more affordable and it has improved a lot.. it's almost like a mini accord now so I'll buy it.. only thing I wished is that they had kept the coupe model that would of been my top choice honestly.
great video concept, subbed! keep up the great quality!
I love this new format. You guys should absolutely do more of these!
Wow, your filming is so great!
I like how they said "it would be expensive to 'retrofit' adaptive suspension" when the previous gen Si had adaptive dual mode shocks... Works perfectly and hasn't needed to be replaced so... Honda did it right, and the car was still cheaper than the current model with more equipment.
Best video concept ! More such videos of other brand siblings, please :))
The zooming interior shot is beautiful. The civic is very youthful, while the accord is very classy
When the Civic hatchback came out they were marked up right to Accord pricing, which really made the Accord seem like a better deal.
Depends on the year and trim level, but I was able to negotiate a 2020 Accord Sport for $2400 more than the 2020 Civic Hatch Sport (new and in 2020). At that price, seemed a no brainer and that I’d likely regret not getting the larger car and extra features. Also, this is a last year versus first year comparison. The difference will likely NOT be 10k. Civic will go closer to sticker as a new redesign where the Accords will likely need incentives to move since a new Accord is coming in 2023. So it will not be a 10k difference in final price.
My dad got a 2020 2.0t touring fully loaded accord for $32,000 cad used with 40,000km.
i never loved a car video more lmao definitely subscribing 😂😂
The winner: my 8th gen Accord coupe with a 3.5L V6.
True
Without a doubt. Kind of a Unicorn these days.
Correct
I’ve got a manual swapped v6 8th gen sedan. Good fun.
My TL Type s gas mileage ain’t the best but I’m having hella fun
Genius idea for a video..more of this please
I have the 22 si in this color and it’s a blast to drive. 1500 miles driven so far and I have no complaints
Video is so well put together👍🏼
I have the same gen accord with the 2.0L turbo engine & the 10-speed transmission. 100% worth the upgrade, the transmission is so smooth and makes great power in 3rd and 4th gear. It's so fast and will be very receptive to some engine tuning :)
With how good the accord still is after 5 years, I just cant wait for the new actual redesign for it.
10th Gen is peak Accord, I'm afraid next one will be a let down.
@@YasssStitch Same! Unfortunately a lot of brands have been screwing up their new gen designs :(
@@YasssStitch I'd say the 9th gen Accord was the peak. It's better styled than the 10th gen, IMO.
I'm really hoping Honda doesn't screw up the next gen Accord. If they go backwards in power or performance at all, I will be disappointed. The current Accord 2.0T is very quick but the new offerings from Kia/Hyundai are even a bit quicker. The next gen Accord should not lose any ground to its competitors in terms of performance.
@@a32tl what similar priced offerings from Hyundai/ Kia are quicker then the accord?
Amazing review! Seriously interesting and entertaining ! Good job
Great video.
Loved the editing.
Honestly for daily use, w this ongoing inflation and absurd gas prices, I would take cvt all day. Hybrid even better.
Same. Like I’m honestly debating getting an old Insight on Craigslist at this point 😂 these gas prices are crazy!
1.5 cvt accord is better instead of civic more comfortable and a good cruiser
@Rotchild
I've been thinking the same, especially because I like the more modern 10th gen Civic/Insight design better than the 11th gen Civic, with the possible exception of the new Civic Hatch. Or even an Accord Hybrid. Just recently realized that Honda now makes an Accord "Sport," Hybrid for 2022 as well. I really like that too.
Accord Hybrid is bussing
I have a 2018 Honda Accord base hybrid and I’m averaging 40mpg after 6500 miles it’s been awesome
Hands down the civic ! That clicking noise sounds like it was engineered by a watchmaker. Perfection.
I spend way too much of my free time watching automotive journalists talk about cars, and you two are one of my favorites for sure. I absolutely love watching your banter plus you're so knowledgeable. This "versus" style video is very impressive and must have taken some serious effort to edit together. At the end of the day I would not be caught dead driving a Civic or an Accord, but I would watch you both talking about them and anything else with four wheels any day. Please keep up the impeccable work.
Thank you so much for this comment. Really keeps up motivated 🙌
This was fun and informative to watch.
My wife loves her V6 (278 hp) Touring Accord.
It is surprisingly quick.

Great concept video, I loved it.... moreeeeeeee
I really like the new Civic front design. I'm not a big fan of the rear I feel like it looks too basic but overall the new Civic looks very clean.
The hatchback is nice though
I thought the old design with the tail lights integrated into the trunk lid looked really stupid.
@@andrewn6384 What do you mean.....it's the same thing now
@@NorthernLaw_ I meant the way the lights blend onto the top of the trunk.
@@andrewn6384 Yeah I'm still confused, how are they different? I mean the designs are different but both the 9th and 10th gen accords have the taillights on the trunk
Great comparison! Those colours just pop on those cars 😂

I think the accord looks better over all, but I feel the Civic would be more fun to drive daily. Great video!

@@skadoogledoog4651 hey thanks! Just test drove one today actually. New for more tax money or a used accord sport?
I would like to see you guys repeat the ioniq roadtrip with a hybrid and a fully electric car.
I drove both and decided on the 22 civic touring. I picked it up a week ago in sonic gray Pearl. I’ve been happy with it.
I really enjoyed this comparison between both cars
I sat in the si at the Houston autoshow....the manual shifter felt great...push button shifters suck because you have to look.
There is a way to completely turn off civic traction. I don’t know if you guys did this. When i first saw this i thought it wouldn't work but it does. Here it is:
1. Turn the car to one position.
2. Parking brake off.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal.
4. Turn traction control on and off.
5. Parking brake on.
6. Release the brake pedal.
7. Turn traction control on and off.
8. Press and hold the brake pedal.
9. Turn traction control on and off.
Thought I was watching Beverly Hills Cop with the intro great vid
Thank you for this comparison. My 2010 Accord LXP finally got into the dealer for the Takata airbag & I got a 2021 Accord Sport loaner... I thought for sure the 2010 would be my last Honda but the 2021 Accord has me reconsidering. Then I looked at the price tag for Accord Sport vs Civic Si & there was only around $5k difference (along with the $5k & $4k "Market adjustment").
Your comparisons (having owned 2 Civics & 2 Accords since 1994) both helped & didn't ^_^
Looks like it'll come down to test drives + monthly payments.
