I got an Accord Luxobarge 06 today and it has the creaking so I'll take it to my regular Honda service place and have them check it out before its warranty runs out. I drove an 07 model which had low km's (15000) and the clutch felt a bit doughy but didn't have any creaking. Others I tried had a nice, light and springy clutch and they ranged in age from nearly new to over 100,000km's on the clock. My 97 Integra has a dynamite clutch - never had a problem with it and it still has a nice action.
