For winter driving, would there be a significant difference between the Honda...
 

...Civic and Accord? Just in terms of general power and handling. Thanks.

Assuming the same horsepower to weight ratio, they should be similar.































The Civic, being smaller, might be a little easier to navigate through tight spots without trading paint. OTOH, if having more sheetmetal around you makes you feel safer, you might want an Accord.

the accord and the civic are two very distinctive cars. The accord is bigger, with bigger everything, and the civic is a compact car. For winter driving, i think it determines the kind of tires you have on. Either car will be good with the proper tires for winter, the Accord is heavier than the civic, so that could be a factor.
