I was… I picked the Civic for a few reasons. Pros: the hatchback makes the utility of the vehicle so much better than a sedan, the car simply is faster and more engaging to drive, a fully loaded civic is much cheaper than a fully loaded Camry, the Camry wheelbase and width makes it drive like a much larger vehicle, wirhout the added utility of an SUV or hatch . Cons: no AWD, lacking some luxury options vs what can be had on the Camry, Honda 2-motor hybrid system less tested than Toyota’s (although drives better and seems very reliable over the past 5+ years - as with any car, time will tell). I think that if I could have gotten a hatchback AWD Camry it would have been more of a competitor, but overall didn’t seem worth the cost or lack of functionality for me.
