Re: Honda newbie question - civic or accord?
The civic gets better mileage and fits into parking spaces easier.
The accord rides smoother and holds a 3rd or 4th passenger easier.
Supposedly Honda will have new low end option called the FIT.
But for unclear reasons they are shipping them in quantity yet.

What do you mean "supposedly"? The Fit has been on sale in North America
since the spring. But demand is currently exceeding supply.

Like I said, demand is exceeding supply. But it IS shipping. The only
dealer in my area has 3 Fits on their lot.
Just because your dealer has none does not mean that they are not shipping.

There is a changer option for the Civic. It isn't cheap, but it can be
fully installed by the dealer, and ou can probably negotiate it into the
price of the car to get it a bit cheaper...
