    ok well here is my give on this, if your looking for performance civic SIR will be better for that, civic are lighter than a accord thats for sure. but if your looking for a better daily car accord is my choice, its roomy and comfort is better than civic. but you can pick up a V6 accord and get better power than the I4 version but still wont beat a SIR's performance.

    Between the Sir and the Accord, if it's for everyday use/driving, then my choice would be the Sir, it's more practical and fuel consumption wise it would give you a better mileage/liter (just be a little gentle on the gas pedal).

    Everyday driving : SIR

    Well. pwede rin namang pang everyday ang accord, and kung medyo marami rami kayo and mahilig ka sa barkada trips. Accord na, laki ng space and cabin niyan. Pero kung magisa ka lang naman eh.....SIR ka na

    Accord din ako. Mas malakas nga lang sa gas, but its 1000X more comfortable (exaggeration)... Ako nga merong 1999 Accord and 2007 Civic. Maskin mas luma na Accord ko I still feel mas comfortable sya atsaka leather seats pa...

    For daily commutes, I'd get the SiR as it projects a bit of exclusivity. But if it's primarily for family use (4-5 pax), everybody will thank you with the Accord's less sporty suspension.

    i have a 96 accord which im using right now. the accord an executive's car whereas the civic sir is more of a "binata" car. In my experience with the accord it has a quite comfortable ride. Up till now the accord still has class compared to the entry level cars during its day.

    Accord
    Power wise its great in long stretches you can really feel the power of the 2.2 liter engine. Acceleration wise i'd say get the civic sir instead. Its up to the person who will be using the car. Gas consumption imo the accord goes around 7km/l. Depends ones driving style.
    I really love to drive the accord because of its comfort amenities likefull leather interior. A/C is great very cold. Brakes are good both front and rear are disks. Family Car!

    I've been thinking of selling my accord, since I got my civic ek hatch. If anybody wants to see the pics of the accord please email me at rudin_gonzalesiii*yahoo.com

    Civic Sir
    Good Accelearation for overtaking. Brakes same as accord both disks font and rear. Comfort ride isn't soft and not too hard. This is a good car if you want to put mods in the engine. A/C is also good. Binata Car!

    I'll go for the SiR... You'll have 160hp in a 1.6liter engine... It's like having two (2) engines in one (1) car... You could hear it coming once you reach 5000rpm...

    If you guys could still remember the trending... After the B16 series engine of the SiR was introduced... Other car manufacturers were hard-pressed on how to catch-up with the power that can be produced from the SiR engine... This is the reason why the 2.0 Altis, 2.0 RS Lynx and 2.0 GT Lancer came out...

    And even Honda's own 2004 Civic 2.0 RS was still not enough... It's just unfortunate that Honda decided to put the B16 series out of production...

    Anyway, you can never go wrong with the SiR... You'll have an everyday car going to the office and a weekend race car, all in one...

    No regrets... I don't...


accord or SIR?
