any1 know what colour code is this?thinking to change to this colour 

Got one zoomckng that day that just bought an accord. I think most people here are FD drivers and so am I.

As for better choice, depends on your preference and what factors important to you. Civic looks sportier, but it's going to be replaced next year with 9th generation. Supposedly leaked photos of the 9gen seems to suggest a "worse" Civic since it looks more conservative and less pleasing than current. Accord is a new model, so won't be "obsolete" soon, but some people just can't take the bulkier look.

If safety features is more important to you, you might be interested to know that while Civic has VSA, in Accord, this is only available in 2.4 model. For me, this is quite a deal breaker, cos how can 2.0 car has no VSA? Why should I live with less safety features on a more expensive car? But this is just my personal opinion lah. You also lose some features like paddle shift, cruise control, HID in Accord 2.0 whereas these are available in Civic 2.0. Do some research and scour some of those automotive forums.

I think cost of maintenance won't differ by much lah, but I never owned an Accord, so not too sure also.

As for reliability, try scouring forums, but sometimes it depends on luck also. I don't think there will be much difference between models, but personally I feel that Toyota's assembly is better than Honda's. Don't flame me, I am Honda driver too. Reliability is found more on some continental brands, but less resale value and more expensive parts & service.

Accord 2.0 is 100+ kg more than Civic 2.0 if not mistaken, so there must be some difference. I don't think Accord will be under-powered, but Civic should have a better 0-100 I think. Not kaki racing, so didn't really bother. After all no matter how powerful, useless when stuck in KL's famous jams.

You're so lucky. Student also can afford such cars. Me working few years baru dare to buy Civic. Last time also Proton saje.
