Civic DIESELS are for old men who cannot be bothered with the whole needing to drive or no about your cars engine they want to just put there foot down and feel abit of power (for a few short seconds )and get further on a full tank !

I own a 1.8 vtec TYPE S you are talking about raw power and there is a difference of 400cc between the diesel etc. With the 1.8 you have to work with it abit make an effort to actually drive ! But the experience of a vtec to a diesel is no comparision in anyway. Sound of a diesel you start it up the morning and you can hear the piston driving dddddddddd until it is warm. Then all you get is a bit of a girly whistle when the turbo is in. But vtec is different you can feel the engineering throuh the pedals when you want a bit of power wack it down a gear or 2. Listen to it you cannot do that with any other car you have to actually appreciate Vtec to no how to work with it if you do you never even talk about diesels ! JUST LISTEN AND REV

Type R 2.0 no turbo no supercharger no nos PURE ENGINEERING all it needs is air a fuel. That is raw engineering power non of this vxr wack a big turbo on it mine is quicker than yours mine has a turbo rubbish! It is all about the way you drive not what you drive!

I no the power difference my mum owns a 2.2 56 plate civic my dad owns a 2.2 56 plate accord / 2.2 crv and his weekend toy of s2000 absolute dynamite i could talk about the s2000 all day but i want

we love honda older brother owns a 1.8 vtec sport 5dr we love it

so i no a hell of a lot of how the difference in hondas drive. Personally i think the raw turbo power in his accord would wipe out any 2.2 civic. Rev range on a civic diesel is shocking it takes a long time to kick in the turbo in the civic and once you are there you get a quick 2-3 seconds then you have to change gear you feel alot of torque but it is not for long enough

Where as in the accord the turbo is always in anytime you need it its there! 2.2 civic is rubbish for old lazy men. Any car is fast if you no the car and what it can do

You would just get in a diesel and asume it was faster a better quicker car because you feel abit of torque and save fuel.

Vtec is passion and for people who no how to drive and love driving !!!

Honda sell different ranges to different people every body has a budget and a prefrence of driving if if you think the diesiel is a faster car because you get a bit of torque and its qiet thats why you bought it ! You wouldnt buy a type r and have a box of ear plugs next to you becuse it is really fast but to loud for your ears would you

Vtec is superb if you no how to use it my friend drove my car the other day he drives a 2.0 t a3 and he said it was slow. Then i drove it with him in it and showed him how to use the VTEC and he soon changed his mind

VTEC AND DIESEL ARE LIKE DIFFERENT PLANETS YOU CANNOT COMPARE SO PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE THEM IF YOU DONT REALY NO ABOUT VTEC !!
