Yes for your underrated original Mini width. No for your underrated 2013 Civic width.

I take your point but it would be interesting to compare the inner dimensions of the cars. You can have a wider car but no more space inside due to thicker doors and you can have a higher car but no more place above the head due to a higher seating position. The mirage would probably still be bigger but by less.
