Well I would leave the accord as it is up for replacement middle of next year

as for the type S or the 5 door that is more difficult - has your dealer confirmed he can get both od them in vivid blue???

I would say unless you use the back seats on a regular basis go for the type s is looks more sporty

does that help?

PTR · 9th September 2007, 20:22

well hard choice...
Type-S is cool and sporty, 5D is practical and still sporty, the Accord is made in japan!

Foggy69 · 9th September 2007, 20:22

I would go for the Type S in Vivid Blue.
It just doesn't get any better

Pottsy · 9th September 2007, 20:27

Likewise.

HappyMan · 9th September 2007, 20:27

Civic Type S 1.8. If the Accord is being changed what is the point?

ante00 · 9th September 2007, 20:36

I can get both 5door or Type S in vivid blue.....but most trouble is that
5door is about £18000 and Type S is £19000 and Accord is £19000....that why is big dilema......i love all 3 models....and accord has best accessories for same price....

But as Broders the Accord is being replaced/updated next year, then you will be kicking yourself as you will have an "old" style that will drop in value a lot quicker.

I wonder what Brodick's only two friends would say

DeanFYoung · 9th September 2007, 21:38

Type S, unless you have frequent use of rear seats....

Enjoy whichever one you choose!

Brodick · 9th September 2007, 21:54

Would you be happy driving round in last years model - because that is what you would be doing if you bought the Accord (all new accord out middle of next yr)

go for the type S you know you want to!

(and as for you TC)

don't you worry about my two (honda)owning friends TC (at least mine aren't made up

)
it's my other friends that I worry about one of them owns a Ford

(she goes to see a specialist next week)

3dr

you know you want to!

And I'd be worried about the Accord as it seems to have been configured for extra foggy conditions...

Seriously though, ignore the Accord and just decide how often you have people in the back of the Civic

ante00 · 10th September 2007, 17:47

about civic type s there isn't vivid blue colour...but i have my fingeres crossed if one pops up.....so if doesn't my next colour is red or bronze? (any sugestions)
