Rear passenger space is a huge priority for many normal people with families and that's why SUVs and minivans are continuously hugely popular at least in the US. Not everyone is a twentysomething male who only drives himself and occasionally one passenger to starbucks. While the Civic has generous space for its class, I would never even look at puny cars like this when I often carried people and stuff. I would be embarrassed to make people squeeze in it. If you actually do any real activities in a group besides eating in restaurants, there is no space for gear. Mid-size sedans were also of no use for me because of small trunks, but it would be the minimum for a family. Appropriate size for a car for me is such that you can just throw a couple of bicycles inside, without fiddling with attaching them with strings and straps. And you can easily carry a couple of kayaks. I use the CR-V for that or just rent a big car if I need to carry people and stuff on vacation.
