The Civic manages airflow for an approximate 5 percent improvement in coefficient of drag (Cd). Items such as the A pillar, side mirrors, wiper layout and the use of underfloor pans have all been designed to minimize air turbulence. These designs result in enhanced fuel economy and less wind noise. Other measures contributing to reduce wind noise levels include dramatically reducing the width of body seams, mounting glass flush with the surrounding body panels, and using double seals around all doors.

Then again, accord and civic are really 2 different class of cars.
The reason why I brought this up is because when I was shopping for a car, my alternative to the Euro was a Corolla!!! Interior-wise, the Corolla had the same amount of leg room at the back and width-wise was only slightly smaller. The only things smaller were the windscreen-to-driver distance, the boot and the engine.

The FD Civic should be slightly larger than a Corolla, and after being in one, I reckon the Civic can give the Euro a run for its money, space-wise (except for the slightly smaller boot). It seems as though the only difference is the engine capacity and price!
