The petrol 1.8 does love to be revved, and it is at it's best with the rev counter way round the dial

But the engine is quite happy lower down the range and pulls happily in 6th from low speeds. It isn't an 'all or nothing' engine that you might expect.
The petrol vs diesel debate will never be answered in the Civic. They are both great engines. It is just which one suits your driving style best.
