I was skimming customer comments on Civics and Accords at Edmunds.com and
interior quality issues appear to loom large on the lower ratings.

Interiors are getting cheaper in ALL lower and mid-end cars.

With so much money going into mandated emissions and safety systems, and
with automakers unable to either pass the costs along or absorb them, they
are cutting corners wherever they can. And the interior is an excellent
place to shave pennies.

After 7 years in the East-Central Florida environment I recently had
to replace my '01 Civic headliner and visor "upholstery". I went with
a nice looking grey vinyl, v.s. the standard foam-backed fabric
($225, vs $150).
Aside from that, my interior is EXCELLENT; and I'm sure the tinted
windows , as well as a towel tossed over the rear seat backs, helps .

The visors on my 96 Civic EX were shredding when I sold it this
spring.  But that was about that.

No complaints about my 08 Fit after 5 months.

If you want interior quality, look for cars built in Japan. Civics and
Accords are no longer built there.
