@HumanGenius,
Premio isn't bigger, doesnt have more stuff (the only thing 'more' it has is all auto window up/down system). The Civic is not only longer, roomier and wider, it has:
a) Better bigger seats (Toyota users find them 'uncomfortable' because they're BUCKET seats, Typical of all Hondas). More room at the back since theres no floor hump unlike all Toyotas (except very recent new ones).
b) Excellent handling around the corners, whereas the Premio feels disgustingly out of hand
c) Accelleration thats worthy of the Civic name, Premio feels slow like anything. (I'm talking A/T on both here).
d) Technologically the Civic is superior: Better engine, Drive By Wire, More fuel economy etc.
e) Looks much better than any Toyota, the Premio is plainly FUGLY.
f) Cheap ass Toyota interior with the fake wood plastic compared to the futuristic Honda Interior.
I can't understand why people want to compare an obsolete 2003+ Premio to a brand new Civic, just does not make sense. Even in Japan a loaded Premio COSTS LESS than a loaded Civic. They're entirely different segments. Premio is for dull old uncles and Civic is for a more exciting YOUNGER crowd.
There is no comparison, these are two different breeds of horses.
And as far as my statement on BMW is concerned, I don't like most of their models thats just my taste. Germany has better cars to offer rather than BMW
