    Fuel - Civic
    Comfort - Accord
    Maintenance - Civic
    Value - Roughly same price. Minsan you'll find the accord cheaper pa.

    I think if gas isn't an issue, I'll take the accord. If it is, Id rather find a stock civic.

    Big issue ang electrical pag lampas 10 years na ang kotse. Baka binaboy na yung sa civic. HID (na nakakabulag sa ibang tao) tas may tv tv pa :/

    - Fuel Mileage

    : Civic

    - Comfort

    : Accord

    - Maintenance

    : Civic

    - Value (how much ang bentahan)

    : Roughly the same price. Just scout around. ;)

    - PROS and CONS

    : If you can handle it's FC and it's higher maintenance, I`d go for the Accord. Masyado nang maarte yung Civic. Tsaka, get the stock one kung gusto mo yung and much better if VTi.

    Kahit na. I'd rather a car na hindi pa ginagalaw ang electricals.

    '98 Civic namin, alarm pa lang kinabit medyo nagloko rin after a while.

    Kapag pure city/traffic driving. Expect 6-7.5KM/L for the accord. 7-9KM/L for the civic.

    Kapag madalas ka sa highway mas maliit ata agwat ng accord/civic.

    Also, AT or MT?

    BTW since mda already mentioned the transmissions, If I were you i'd stay away on the A/T variants. With almost over a decade car A/T trannies should be breaking down IF it wasn't taken care of properly.

    So yeah, back off from A/T's first. M/T's are more " indestructible " ( exag. ) than A/T's when it gets older.

    Yknow, A/T's require you some special attention.

    Is it true that ang bentahan ng accord 1996 ay around 180K - 220K?
    Alam ko lang ung Civic is around 190K - 230K eh.
    If I get the Civic, do I have a chance to sell it sa budget na gusto ko? Ung accord kasi mukang alanganin eh.

    Purchase year:

    1996 Accord AT - Sub 200k.

    1996 Civic LXi AT - About 200k.

    Note: Iba yung PURCHASE year sa MODEL year. Our 1998 purchased Civic was MY1996.

    Hindi ko gets tanong mo :/

    Nevermind. I think I'll go with the Civic na lang. Kakatakot gas consumption ng accord. Had a cefiro before. It's the worst executive car pero comfort is A ok.
