I just ordered the diesel without even considering the petrol alternative, The choice however is entirely yours. My previous car was a Nissan 350Z, whilst the Civic 2.2 diesel engine cannot obviously match the sheer power of the 350's engine, it does however have almost as much torque, meaning an effortless increase in speed at very low revs. You can even overtake with ease leaving it in top gear, with the petrol you'd want to drop it down a gear or two! The diesel is also extremely good at quite cruising due to it's lower revving.
As for the choice of options, nice choice, almost went for the image pack myself but changed for more practical ones, the 18" alloys however were a must for me, ended up going for the blades!
Whatever you decide it's your preference, i would agree with others in saying test drive them both, on 30mph roads and dual carriage ways/motorways to get a good feel for each one.
Happy hunting!!
