2006 Honda Accord Euro (140,000km) vs 2009 Honda Civic VTi (50,000km)

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new car and have been trying to decide between getting a 2006 Accord Euro or a 2009 Civic.

If the ball was in your court, would you choose a 2006 Honda Accord Euro with high km or a 2009 Honda Civic with low km?

Looking at both the cars you have posted, Im guessing your budget is around 15k? I would be looking for a nice clean type r dc2/dc5

But out of them 2 cars, I would get the euro only due you can make more power out of the k24

Judging from the above choice in cars, I assume the OP is not interested in "performance".

With the above choices, I would probably go with the Euro as it's a bigger & nicer car overall, I assume for $15k you'll be looking at a luxury model, which should come with leather seats, sensors and all that other jazz.

Civic VTI is the base model if I recall correctly, never get the base model for any car unless you really don't have the budget for it. I wouldn't be too concerned with the KMs if the the Euro has been properly maintained, they can easily go 200+ without having too many issues.

I'd say base it on how long you want to keep the car, if you only want to keep it for a year or two, get the Euro and you can probably resell without too much of a loss. If you're after something long term and not worried about luxury/quality then get the civic (due to lower kms).

I'm sure you can get cheaper and less KM euros out there than 140k kms
Keep searching around mate
And they can be had for $12k now

Euros are brilliant.
Id rather have a Corolla sedan than the Civic sedan,so go the Euro...
