Great question!

I am no expert though when buying my 2008 Civic I found it to be roughly the same size as my old '90 Accord which was perfect for me. As for the 2000 vs. the 2008 I would look at some of the online reviews such as Edmonds.com and ComsumerReportsAuto.com as they list vehicle specs. Look for Curb weight, dimensions (interior and exterior), cargo volume, horse power, etc. This should help compare, if they don't let you do a side by side comparo.

Love my Civic don't think you can go wrong!
