well its quite possible that an altis beats a civic,wat ever model.but it wud b a really tough competetion.as civic is 140bhp but is a lil heavier,nd altis(new) is 130bhp but a lil lighter.so,they both r very very near to each other.somtines civic wins,sumtimes altis.but if ur talking abt topspeed,civic sure is the winner:P
nd yes,u can,under NO circumstances,beat a uk accord,which happens to b 160bhp,wud ur 130bhp altis.
