Slow down mate - it's OK to be passioante about your car but no need to cast insults at the many (young&older) civic diesel drivers on this site.

As for you assumptions about the relative pace I can assure you that a 2.2 civic woops a 2.2 accord - and as an ex race team manager I know how to get the best out of a car -I get it regular in my area as an Acc iCDTi driver surrounded by the Honda factory boys and I can't keep up with them on the straight in their 2.2 but but the 1.8 eats my dust. Also the Civic 2.2 is the car of choice for many of the young guys at the factory so it is not an age issue.

I can also assure you it's not a matter of thinking, it's a fact, the 2.2 in the Civic is faster then the 1.8 straight line or real driving. Check the stats.

And at the end of the day you do only have a single cam iVtec not a TWIN CAM VTEC

I'd take a T/C VTEC over a TDi any day but also I'd take the TDi over the S/C i-Vtec
