Im considering buying a Honda car but which one is better? Civic or Accord?

I am looking between 1996-2003 Honda cars. Thus far I got a little information about Civic and Accord. Civic is a good car, has good engine, but a great disadvantage is the noise. Accord is similar but quiet and smooth. So I want to know more about it from you guys to see if my information is correct. If I'm wrong, please do explain about your experiences. Thanks.

1. Accord is the flagship. It is a good quality car. 250k miles no problems. Good luck.
2. what's up, my buddy said an accord. it can be a family car, or just gas efficient... but do remember to keep the maintenance up to date. performance upgrades can cause problems. thus far... from DWO and yours truly, have a good one! :)
3. the accords are prolly your better choice.it does have a little bigger motor which means alittle more gas,some are 6cyl but a very comfortable ride.But 1 problem all civics and accords AND acuras have is there distributers going flaky on em.ive replaced quit a few.usually not till the 60 70 or 80000 mile range though....also all hondas have an interference motor which means when the cam belt breaks then youve got major probs so best to change it at its recommended interval usually about 90000miles expect to spend about500
4. You are correct. The civic gets better gas mileage, though. Both could last 300,000 miles with oil changes at 3,000 miles and maintenance.
5. i was debating the same thing u are debating.. ended up getting a honda prelude lol...
6. accord is better
7. I have a 1996 Honda Accord DX with 208,000 miles.. it is still RUNNING solid! HONDA FOR THE WIN. No matters what, get an Accord.
