Your acceleration might be delayed because of wrong fuel too. The acceleration figures that are quoted for these cars on the internet are based on 91 octane fuel and above (premium fuel). Try using Shell V-Power and keep your tires inflated correctly. I used to face a similar issue with my w204 until I started using V-Power. The difference between PSO petrol and V-power is night and day.
My 2007 clk200k lost to a Prius once was shocked as we had smoked a mark X and c200 and were shocked how did that happen!! As we were speeding and he caught up....
The Prius driver was a friend .... So after another turn smoked him, found was way I was driving ... Traction off, manual shift and sports mode..... Plus civic can't catch at turns and bends......!!
My grande smokes civic oriels and catches turbo.... Which would upset a lot of Civic owners.... But then u haven't seen my grande yet.....

It seems you have some special edition grande coz i own both grande and civic turbo and i know exactly the difference in pick and drive between them.
By the way the official 0-100 timing of the 184hp e200 kompressor is 9.4 secs.
