2006 Honda Accord review from North America
"Wish it was a Civic"
General comments?
Having driven a Honda Civic for over twenty years, I am not happy with my 2006 Honda Accord. Apparently others are not either since the Civic is much more popular than the Accord. The body is too wide. This makes for a tighter fit in garages and parking spots; increasing the likelihood of nicks and dings. The chassis material is fragile and scratches easily. What car ever sits in a china cabinet? The heating and cooling system is substandard. In warm weather, even the air conditioning booster button does not kick out what the Civic did on a regular basis. Not only is the cooling element substandard, the blower is as well. And the heat? Get your earmuffs and blankets out. The car will get warm just as you arrive home and then it’s too late. Give me a Civic any day. I can see why Civic popularity exceeds that of the Accord.
