Just a bit touchy when people with nice/expensive cars dismiss less expensive models as being "bad" ;) Our Civic is definitely inexpensive and boring, but it really is an excellent car.
I can't speak for the newer Civics in terms of the ride & handling. They went from the double wishbone suspensions of the older models to a more conventional macpherson arrangement in '01, and if the mags are to be believed they lost quite a bit of what made the older Civics so nice in the change.
Our '00 rides great, handles well, and is all around a very comfortable ride. Much superior to other cars in it's class, and yeah I do think it has the older 9-3's beat in the ride & handling category. Those old 9-3s were on a pretty dated chassis and didn't exactly have the most sophisticated suspension, which shows on rough roads.
