A 4 door sedan 2nd gen Civic is 161" long with a 91" wheelbase.
The 5-door is 151" long with the same wheelbase.
The 3-door is 150" long with an 89" wheelbase.
A 2018 Honda Fit is 161" long and has a 99.6" wheelbase.
The big difference is in height/width. The 2018 Fit is 60"H x 67"W (... vs the 2nd gen Civic at 53"H x 62"W .
So total volumes (rectilinear solids in which the cars would fit):
Civic 4-dr: 306ft^3
Civic 5-dr: 287ft^3
Civic 3-dr: 285ft^3
2018 Fit: 374ft^3
Maybe the Fiat 500 would be a closer size match?
139.6"L x 59.8"H x 64.1W" with a 90.6" wheelbase (309ft^3)
A 2018 Yaris is 155.5"L x 59.4"H x 66.7"W with a 98.8" wheelbase (3 or 5 door are identical). So 356ft^3.
All of them are way heavier. Although all of them are probably a heck of a lot more survivable in a crash as well.
Food for thought.
