I don't know about that.
My 3rd gen Civic was more economical than the 2nd gens, and much more practical and spacious (though 'spacious' is not what jumps to mind when considering its boot space, but nvm.)

It falls short on about everything compared to my 2nd gen Insight though. Economy, interior space, safety (by a wide margin!), reliability, even looks.

Curtain airbags? Climate control? VSC? MP3? Bluetooth phone support?
My Civic had front wheel steering for luxury, and one single disconnected loudspeaker in the left door only (as I found out trying to fit a radio)

Best ever tank economy on the Civic was 23 km/l and that was an outlier; 18 km/l usually was tops in summer weather.
23 km/l per tank happens on the Insight too. But only during the winter season.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
