I rather rock a 7th gen, but I'd get a 7th gen civic before I got the accord.
Uh, 400 pounds is a huge difference. I don't care if you have 160HP or 600HP, you feel the weight difference in the chassis.

better safty.

better ergonomics.

better interior/exterior asthetics.

I don't know what safty is. Ergonomics and asthetics have nothing to do with vehicle size.

Honda has kept the CR-V the same dimensions for the past 3 generations and it's still successful, so the competitive arguement is baloney.

Accord is not a fullsize. It is a mid size car and began as a compact.

Nice purchase! I was looking at those before I bought an '03 Accord Coupe (back in the day when they first came out). Forget the automatic haters, it's your daily driver #1, and #2 Accords aren't your typical race car the last time I checked.

as long as you dont drive like a douche, you maintain it on time ( fluids, tires, belts, etc...) I don't see why it should take a shit on you congrats again on the purchase man
