Two petrol engines, a 123bhp 1.7-litre VTEC and a 148bhp 2.0-litre i-VTEC, and one diesel - the excellent 2.2-litre as found in the Accord and Civic - provide power. The petrol's variable valve timing allows for good throttle response throughout the rev range. Both petrol engines perform adequately on the road; however, you'll have to rev them hard, since the 1.7-litre unit produces its maximum 113lb ft of pulling power at a high 4,800rpm and the 2.0-litre's 142lb ft arrives at 4,000rpm.
The diesel is pick of the bunch, as it has an impressive 251lb ft of torque from a low 2,000rpm for relaxed, punchy performance.
