Hi Brodick,

I drive them both. A 1.8 Executive back in April 2006 and a 1.4 Comfort a few weeks ago. With the 1.8 my first impression was "where is the power?" I felt to be a bit sluggish and noisy. So I was a bit dissapointed with that and I always though that the 1.4 would be even worse.

But after driving it I feel the 1.4 is a more quiet car and up to 80km/h also responsive enough for me. In performance it is a big step down from my old VTi (170hp to 83hp) but the feel of the new Civic is wonderful.

I also ordered a styling kit which makes the two black plastic covers of the exhaust into the two chrome covers of the 1.8 engine.

When I get the car I will post some pics of it!

Greetings,
Peter.
