It's not the same.

The civic just feels like the joints are overly tight or not lubricated to make it seem heavy.

It lack the finesse, premium feel of say a Audi/bmw/merc and to some extend VW door which has a nice flow as you swing it close with a low, satisfying tight "thump" sound.

You'll know the difference when you don't need to apply as much strength to close them and still feels berat. The felling is something like the engineering done to Macbook's lid. It does not need a latch... it doesn't accidentally open by itself... yet it can be open with just one finger gently. Amazing really
