Honda Accord Sport 2.0 L Automatic VS Honda Civic SI Coupe?

I have a quick question about a car. I'm more of a sport type of guy, and obviously the SI takes the crown, BUT, when my dad took it out for a test drive ( I'm not good enough to drive stick on the road) he said the acceleration was underwhelming. I don't understand where he gets this from because reviews on the car say otherwise. I really love the car. And the accord would be the 2nd option. What are your opinions?

I uesta think si civics wer sportier cars to until my friend smoked a 08 civic si in his 2000 Buick park avenue. They really aren't fast even the new ones aren't that sporty by modern standards naturally aspirated 4 cylinder "sports cars" aren't sports cars they are economy cars that are a little peppy and can be driven daily

It sounds like you need a automatic anyway.
