That is the problem with all VTEC engines - the VTEC does not kick in until way up the rev range.

In terms of handling - there are a few better packages out there - the Focus and the Clio just to name a few, but you may sacrifice performance (depending on the model).

Another option is to get a VTEC controller. You can pick a decent one up for under AU$1000 down here (That's about 500 euros). This greatly improves the range in which the VTEC kicks in - you will notice a huge improvement.

I dunno about you, but I'm not that keen on the new Civic, notwithstanding the fact that it is a great car - the focus is so much better looking...
