my daughter will not be racing.. if she does, the car gets pulled. Thus an Accord w/mour mass is more important in my book for a new driver. But I do like the Civic also and that's why it's on our shopping list... just not on the top of it
I would pick the car she is more comfortable driving. The Accord has more mass, but a Civic will be more nimble and stop quicker (4 wheel disc models especially).
Either one is quite safe, accident wise. While they're small cars, I can say from experience that they do a good job of protecting the passengers.
