First Iggy You have made several factual (as well as grammatical errors),

The 2.2 IS faster and more powerful than the 1.8. FACT. The 2.2 can have as much as 148-150bhp standard as opposed to the 138bhp with the petrol.

"2.2 civic is rubbish for old lazy men." I don't know where you got that from? I am neither old nor lazy, just enjoy the surge in power.

The 2.2 can be easily chipped or remapped to as much as 180/190bhp. Your 1.8 will always remain 138bhp without expensive modifications. And even the stock 2.2 would beat your petrol in a drag race.

You obviously prefer the petrol, fair enough, but it is slower than the diesel, less flexible and has less potential to go faster.

I'll stick with diesel thanks
