The gap between oriel and turbo isn't that huge...It is substantial I will admit ...but this isn't a sports sedan or anything...Honestly people on this thread have completely twisted the facts..Bas nam me turbo a gia to bhai gari nhi rocket ban gai...
And this BS is not helping prospective buyers... ... ...1.8 oriel still delivers a good punch..especially on sports mode..for me the upgrade was great as I was jumping from 2004 civic to civic x...
Although if you have had a reborn or last gen civic ..you might not feel much of a jump...
My advice try to get a test ride if you can from any close friend/ relative...and I am sure you will see that oriel is more than capable of delivering a good punch...
