Having learned to drive in a Brazilian-made Opel Corsa (rebadged as a Chevy) with the 4-cyl 8-valve 1.0L gasser, I have no problem at all with small engines.
But since the Civic you're getting has taller gearing and an 8-valve head, it doesn't seem so likely that you could benefit from a 16-valve head swap since it's supposed to push the peak torque to a higher revving band.
