I will admit that that my example experience of the Honda Civic was not the best one that I could have used. It is possible to get 4 adults and scuba diving gear in one, but there is little room left. For some groups of 4 it would be too small for the needed luggage capacity. However, the other day I was looking at cars in new car showrooms and noticed that for example the new Honda Accord 4 door and Nissan Maxima were much larger than Honda Civics. There is no comparison in size. There are still more cars out there made in 2006 that are much larger that a Civic both inside and outside. I wanted to mention the Crysler
300, but I have not yet seen the inside of it.
