Yeah, the Toyotas do run cheaper, though, at least back in 02 when I bought my Civic, the ABS was an option rather than standard on all models, so I don't know if it'll be harder to find one with it or not. I do regret not going to look at the Toyotas at all when I bought mine, just because I see one every so often and wonder if I'd have done myself a financial favor and ended up with a car that was just as good. I don't regret buying the Civic at all, otherwise, though. It's a great little car, and as you discovered, definitely not a putt-putt!
If you really want to see a putt-putt car, I don't think you can beat this--do watch the whole thing, it's quite funny! (Well, I crack up every time I see it, in any case!)
