Hopefully can change the norm, to say mazda 3 as m3 is different car/league. If compare hp/torque, the civic 1.5 is similar range to 2.4 NA engine. Hence u feel the underpower from 2.0 NA engine.
yes you are right..

I was half expecting the 1.5L Mazda 3 already and am fairly surprised when you say 2.0 NA.
So when you say drive, and under power, it's generally the power delivery - speed and acceleration?
What about the transmission characteristics?
V spec got paddle shifters as well?
How does it compare with Mazda 3 slosh box?
What about the suspensions? How's the ride and handling compared?
Similarly like you've feedback from FC Civic, IMHO the new FE improved a LOT as I'm very VERY particular on the suspensions. It definitely is more conti feel and again, I'm referring to the suspensions and not the interior (which everyone has mentioned to death lol)
Of course there's some drawbacks and I'm suspecting the absorbers to be very expensive (at least compared to the previous generation FC) , and there's more NVH / "harshness" on compressions/rebound (those painted lines, sharp speed bumps instead of the much wider/smoother ones, pot holes etc) but that's what gives it's better handling that i can appreciate on the FE Civic.
yeah the power delivery is like mehhhh..it takes awhile when u decided to suddenly accelerate the car because the gear likes to be on the high side..like its on 5th gear and you want to overtake somecar it just push down to 4th gear and not 3rd gear which give you more power (something like that if u get what i mean)..but the car feels better a bit if u decide to use manual mode..
the FE vspec comes with paddle shifter..i have yet to use it since the car is still new haven’t reach 1k milleage..the cornering for FC/FE for me is way better due to multilink suspension setup..
