It's not; it's a much larger car. But if you actually scaled it down so it matched the interior dimensions, you'd find it awfully close to the weight, and probably with better mileage (the '85 Civic has a 4-speed, and the current Civic already matches the '85 Civic 1.5L for mileage, even though it's bigger than the '85 Accord.)
