Yes, with the Civic being a "small family car". The Prius just scrapes into "large family car" in one guide I have to hand.

What strikes me as odd in that guide, is that things like the Ka and Peugeot 107 are indeed classed as "supermini". What's the sense in that? If the Fiesta and 207 are "supermini" then surely the Ka and 107 are "mini"??

It even lists the Smart ForTwo as a "supermini". :blink:

Cars have been getting gradually bigger in the last two decades, which means the categories have crept up too, making room for cars like the 107/Aygo. I remember being struck seeing a 1981 Ford Escort parked next to a 2000-ish Vauxhall Corsa. The Escort has always been "small family", while the Corsa has always been "supermini", and I'd always thought of them like that. But seeing them next to each other, I realised they're 2000 Corsa is now as big as the 1980 Escort...

I just figured all those would be superminis lol... from the smart to the 207.
