go for the second one, no question. you said it's going to be a daily driver, right? the stock car makes way more sense, and will be running on regular instead of premium. plus, it's newer and has airbags.

as far as the teg vs. the accord, the newer teg is about the same size as your old accord. yes it has more power, yes its lighter, yes it handles waaay better. it's more rev-happy, waaaay more fun to drive, and you will love every minute of it! and i think they were originally rated for the same mileage. check them both out at www.fueleconomy.gov
