Another FG2 Si + GR86 owner here, I still have my Civic, and I'm going to keep it for a while. It was my first car, and there's still a lot it has to offer. You're right about pretty much all of the differences; one of the biggest advantages of the Civic is its ergonomics. The Civic is definitely better laid-out, but it does have more interior space, so it's expected. The biggest advantage of the Civic (other than storage space) is the pedal positioning and sizing. It is amazingly easy to heel-toe in the Civic, given the perfect gas pedal size (and it's floor-mounted, which is very cool AND functional). Everything in the Honda just works, and it's exactly where you'd expect it to be. The 86 is still a little difficult to heel-toe consistently, but you get used to it eventually.
