To me the idea of the 1 Series was great. Smaller, lighter, cheaper. But somehow the reality is it's not significantly any of those compared to a 3 Series.
The whole bigger, fatter, then new small model bugs me too. Chalk it up to a marketing arms race. 'We have more interior room than brand X', so brand X makes theirs bigger too, then in a brilliant one-upmanship move, makes it safer (heavier) too. Repeat.
The Civic is like around 700-1000 lbs heavier now than it was in the 90's. Maybe pretty close to what an Accord was back then...
