I sat in the '13 Civic (several of them, actually) at the Auto Show earlier this week - the driver seat, in my opinion, seems to have gotten flatter...did you find this on your drive, Brendan?
Maybe the higher-up models seemed nicer inside, but I didn't find much of a difference between the '12 and '13. I like the exterior changes, but I'm not so convinced about any of their other claims.
The lack of a 60/40 rear seat is just downright depressing.
