No, I think the Civic isn't bad at all. It is a little low compared to driving my F250, but not nearly as bad as my old car. I had a 2002 Pontiac Firebird Formula that felt like it has a hovercraft. That thing was very low and I felt like I was sitting on the road. Had to watch when parking next to curbs, drive at an angle very slow over speed bumps and dips in the road. The car was stock height! The civic has good height because the bottom and the front of the car clear the height of curbs and parking barriers and it does well of speed bumps. Thats just my opinion though.
