I went to a 2018 Civic Sedan LX from a 2001 Accord EX...
While some would say it's a step down from an Accord to a Civic, it's amazing how over the years cars evolve and grow. Specifically, the 2018 Civic feels about the same size as the 2001 Accord, which brings up my question:
Have the Civics always had a small gas tank? I think the one I have is about 12 gal, compared to the 2001 Accord's tank which was 17 gal. For two cars that feel about the same size, it's frustrating that I have to gas up so frequently with this smaller tank. A nice side effect of a more fuel-efficient car would be to have to gas up less often, but that's negated by the smaller tank. (Yes, I know I'm still spending less... but it's also just a frequency thing).
Not a huge issue, just curious if anyone's got any insights here...
