Everyone has the perception that Accord is more spacious, but how much? Is it really significantly bigger?

I've sat in both Accord & Civic before. There is a difference - Accord more spacious & feels more "airy". But not very significantly more space. Significant would stepping into the new Merc S Class after coming out from our Civic, hehe...

The difference is insignificant to me but u ' know' and feel bigger as if compare 7th Gen civic with 8th Gen civic . Difference in the car cabin in its width , height , length etc by 4 - 6 inches is barely noticeable to layman . Unless u compare a Honda Stream vs Honda Oddysey , then right away u can tell the difference .

Looks like the sportier design for Civic had sacrificed a little room for the back seats. We should not feel any difference at the front seats of the Civic.

So, Civic design is really targetted for young couples or young families.

cheers.

Thx for the info, mamee.

Yup...Accord has always target to those family wan bigger car but dont wan a MPV or SUV.

Where as for Civic usually those small family like 2 kids and doesnt need a big car which have a pay bigger price.
