Honda. Diesel vs petrol

Not much of a saving according to that but they really need to put some engine power/torque/driveability/bhp figures in there to make the comparison more realistic. The 2.2 CTDi much surely be a lot quicker, more powerful and more relaxing the 1.4i surely?
 
Jeezus...I just used their car comparator. Does a new Civic 5dr diesel really cost £20k!?!? :eek:

Anyway just found the bhp figures. 150bhp v 100bhp for the 1.4. No contest.

Quite nice really
 
Done 20k on my 2.2 i-CDTi and it's cost me **** all beyond servicing and a set of Pirellis. As per, buy a sensible car, what's so flipping surprising. Owned it for a shade over 12 months now, averaging 45mpg with my heavy ass right foot.

More to the point, I can do this, because it's a diesel (caution, mad wobz):

 
Owned my 2.2 coming up to 2½ years. I've spent about £200 (full) servicing it myself including EGR clean nad about £200 on tyres all round.

Oh.. and £70 on a new battery.

I spent a shedload more on modding it !!
 
Why does the diesel Civic have ZERO residual value in that table?
If anything, I'd expect it to be worth more than the 1.8 petrol, which makes a bit of a mockery of the summary.

Just WHO puts these comparisons together?
 
I'm sure VED is wrong on the 1.4 petrol too - maybe some of the others as well.

Edit: Just had a play. Anything that isn't a current model is basically broken with residual values not working.
