Yeah the IS is only about an inch longer than the current gen civic. The height and width is the same. (I would had thought the IS would be wider though).

*The civic grew about 2 inches with this current body style*

Taking that into account means we should have this thread deleted. You can't compare a compact sports sedan to a mid size. I'm just glad they didn't increase the size for the 2017 remodel.

True but the Corolla has better interior room and weighs 500 lbs less.

That's subjective to most, I intentionally bought the is200t over the 350 not because of price but because of efficiency and tuning capabilities. Put the 2.0t/suspension/interior/refinement/rwd into a corolla, that would be ****
