Whenever you're looking at any compact car, you have to ask yourself "Is it better than a Civic?" Most aren't.
Fortunately for those other automakers there's enough strangeness in the Civic to turn off at least some buyers from this otherwise fine and dependable little car. For instance, if you don't like feeling like your car just popped out of the shuttle bay on the U.S.S. Enterprise, the Civic's high tech instrument panel might not be your thing. On the other hand, if you're into that sort of thing, you'll also enjoy the Civic's dependability and, when properly equipped, sportiness.
