we downsized from a mondeo, the civic seems just as big inside the cabin, back seat seems wider somehow! (we have 3 teenagers) the boot is a little smaller but found the mondeo boot not that big.
the honda is a 1.4 and gets great MPG.

Its better to regret things you've done than things you have never tried

OMG I am now starting to panic. I've got to fit a weeks worth of camping gear plus OH, 1 little boy and I into a nissan micra. Wish me luck!!!
I've done it! When we family camp its big car + roofbox, packed to the rafters, but I took the 2 kids on my own with my Toyota Yaris. It's amazing the difference one more adult makes!
we've got a daewoo nexia, now for a hatchback that has a large boot. have been camping in it will all the equipment 4 people and all their gear.
mind you only had 3 people last year and filled the boot and the remainer of the back seat! it's only me and OH this time, so there should be space.......
well we did it! picked up the new astra today and i managed to get roof bars with it. just need the tow bar now. it is a lot smaller than vectra, but im sure we will fit everything in. we did it before without trailer and roof box, so im sure we will do it again. wont find out until august though. cos we are leaving tent at home as we are off in a static on friday, first time in a few years. cant wait!!!!
