Yea, I know they are light, but I don't like the fact that steering is so easy. I like how Accords and Preludes have a little bit of resistance when you turn so you can get a better feel of the road...also, everywhere you go, there is always a civic....what do you dislike about it?

Yeah, Preludes

I have both a civ & an acc. the civic I have is very bouncy. when I hit a bump in the road it feels like the rear is gunna come off the ground. the steering is very quick but not too quick for me. it feels like theres more interior space then my CB7. the trunk is too tiny. the engine bay has lots of room, but thats cuz of the tiny engine. I like how it can reach 100 MPH quicker than my CB7.
my 2 cents
93 Accord LX Sedan (sold)
01 Civic LX Sedan (sold)-93 Accord EX Wagon (totaled)
93 Accord SE Sedan (sold)-92 Accord EX Sedan (sold)
93 Accord SE Coupe (sold)-97 Accord SiR Wagon (sold)
95 Accord LX Wagon (CURRENT)-05 Impreza WRX Sedan (CURRENT)-02 Ram 1500 (CURRENT)-20 VW Jetta (CURRENT)

i remember i raced a cb7 accord 93 ex with exhaust and loud whatever maybe one of you people on here with my 99 civic ex STOCK. stayed with me head to head until i hit 4th then im on my way
. I love only the 99-00 civic EX and SI, but i have a 93 ex coupe 
... driving my cb and my civic they feel the same but even when stock the civic has better handling in my opinion. my cb handling feels like i don't have control over the road at times. this is no suspension mods or anything only a stut bar =)... my 3 cents
either kill it or drift it...

I kinda understand what you mean about the steering thing. That's one of the first things I noticed after I got rid of my CB and started driving my Civic.

lol, I'm not doggin on the civic...I like it, especially the look of the si's...just that when I drove some of them, steering is really easy. Its just the most annoyint thing is the steering. It seems way too easy to turn the steering wheel for some reason. Maybe because of the weightOriginally posted by Accord R33Yeah, Preludes

We have to try an balance all of the Civic elitists' threads in the world.
Honestly, they both have their ups and downs.
I liked my EG hatch because it got 37MPG city while flogging it.
I didn't like it because it was so small, everyone in their big damn trucks around here tried to push it out of the way.
I liked it because it was maneuverable and easy to drive.
I liked it because it ran a 15.9 with 18's and an RS*R header with an otherwise stock D16Y7 and S40 transmission.
I didn't like it because it wasn't as roomy, and didn't feel as substantial on the road.
I like my EF because with the B18 and GSR cable tranny, I can make traction an issue in 4th gear if I really want to.
There are ups and downs to both.Comment

it may be heavy but once that shit picks up speed i was like daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that shit has its own vtec with the navigation shit and hw much gas you got left at first when i saw it i was like what kinda car is it lol.Originally posted by gloryaccordy
Oh back to topic well most of the time civics are not so great it depends on the setup as far as the steering bit and wheel size and width of the tires . But all in all i still love my cb7 than most of the cars out there. I keep hearing oh this car is old it should have been sold already when that same person whos talkin to me has a shitload of car problems mostly my parents and such people off the street and at the streetraces.
When i show them what a cb7 can do they are in shock on how fast it is. I have my reasons why too. When i had my eg hatch ehhhh not enough room for me sure the aftermarket parts where there no dropping of the trunk just to change the pump it sat there steering wasnt bad pushing the car with no engine felt aight into the yard. Felicias life at the back while towing that car with her car and her almost ehhh near death made me realize thats not the car for me and theres no leg and back room and the danger if i was to have an accident kinda got me shook on it so no good it had to go.Comment
