That's not surprising.
The current 2017 Civic has the same weight, wheelbase and interior space as the 1997 Accord. (okay, the Accord has a *longer* trunk, and is thus longer, but the Civic has more cubic feet of trunk space).
And, adjusted for inflation, you get MORE car for your money with the 2017 Civic than you did with the 1997 Accord. Faster, too, with the 1.5 Turbo.
