Now come to my dilemma. Thinking to take 1.8s or 1.5tc. I may not need such powerful car at the moment but worry that i might regret for not taking 1.5tc in the future. 1.8 power is decent to me but i don't like the rim and fabric seat. If i would upgrade my rim to 17 inches, would it impact to engine power? If i go for 1.8 with some upgrade like wrap leather seat and change bigger rim, does it worth to do that or i just go for 1.5tc better? Some of you may have same situation like me, how do you overcome your own frustration and make the choice?

I went to Honda showroom in October with the intention of booking 1.8 but i left that day with the booking of 1.5TC. Factors for choosing the later:
1. The loan interest is quite attractive so that i can opt for additional 10K loan without adding too much into my monthly installment budget.
2. The leather seat is a must for me since my son is allergic to dust.
3. 17 inches rim looks way better.

That was my logic when i did the booking. Since I was driving Honda Insight for daily commutes, I did not think I need the 1.5TC power since I was driving very light-footed and since I used to own Civic FD1, i think 1.8 power is enough.

I did not regret my decision now since 1.5TC is fun to drive. I do not spent most of my time driving in the right most lane (like the majority of Civic FC owners that I have encountered on the road) but there power is there when i need it. Even with econ mode on, going uphill or overtaking on highways can be done rather effortless.

Just my 2 cents.
