definitelyAnyone else that’s happy with their 2.0 NA with no regrets?
wow 43? my commute consist of many mountains and get 33 mpg. Does your commute consist of flat terrain? Cruise control? What fuel do you guys also use?I’m happy with mine. Plenty of power for everyday driving.
Last trip I went on I got 43.4 Mpg.

Im glad to see someone else enjoying the 2.0 engine ☺Hey y’all,
Am I the only one happy with their 2.0 NA engine? Certainly there are others that like it. Granted, it doesn’t have as much low end torque as the 1.5T, or overall HP, but to me it still has adequate power below 4,000 rpm and actually good power above 4,000 rpm. And I actually like the feel of it, the way the power builds quickly above 3,500 rpm, and continues all the way to redline. Overall I’m pleased with the power delivery. And since I’ve owned my car, I’ve consistently gotten between 32-36 mpg on my 116 mile round trip commute to and from work. I like that it was designed to run on regular octane gas from the start. Some folks have mentioned that the lack of a turbo means fewer repairs down the road. I suspect that may be the case, but only if you plan to put 300k or more miles on the car. In less than 12 years, at my current rate, I’ll have 500,000 miles on this car, and I hope to keep it twice that long. And last, but not least, I absolutely love this six speed manual transmission. To me, it’s the perfect mate to this little motor. While in high speed interstate traffic, I relish dropping to third and matching the revs for a perfect downshift and surge of oomph. So, how about it? Anyone else that’s happy with their 2.0 NA with no regrets?
I sure am its basically a type R engine with no turbo. Talk about overbuilt if you wanted you could throw 20 psi of boost at it. It will take it easy here have a look>> Bit diff cam setup few other small things Here's what makes the Honda Civic base 2.0L NA engine & the Civic Type R 2.0L Turbo engine different - Alt Car newsHey y’all,

I like that I can Rev my engine to high RPMS without feeling like I’m actually hurting the engine… she just takes it like a champI sure am its basically a type R engine with no turbo.

First day and happy so far. 2.0L NA, 6MT and hatch checked all the right boxes for me. Anything else would have been a compromise.Hey y’all,

Did you ever test the 1.5T hatch with manual for comparison? That’s what I ended up going with but I never drove the 2.0 manual for comparison. Curious how different it is. On the one hand 20HP difference is notable for a little car, but the NA engine probably delivers its power sooner. So I’m imagining the 1.5T may not actually even feel fasterFirst day and happy so far. 2.0L NA, 6MT and hatch checked all the right boxes for me. Anything else would have been a compromise.
Sorry I only test drive the car I bought. I’ve been driving heavy and or sluggish vehicles for awhile now, so anything would have felt like an improvement. The manual trans was non negotiable, and the only other option in my area was an Si. The differences just weren’t important to me. I know modern vehicles are much different, but at one point my Ninja 250 was faster than almost any car anyone could reasonably afford.Did you ever test the 1.5T hatch with manual for comparison?

I am happy with mine. I have had it a year and have over 36k on it. My commute is 121 miles round trip at least 5 days/week. I added a HO Alternator at 1600 miles from autotech engineering, xs power agm battery, 1/0 gauge big 3 upgrade, LTO battery in the trunk and sound deaden the entire car. Hitting 145-146db right now but will get to 150 soon.Hey y’all,

it really ramps up, reminds me of traditional honda engines.I enjoy the shifting required to keep the 2.0 in the optimal rpm range. Another excuse to row my own gears. Also it’s quite entertaining to experience the sharp uptick in power right around the 4K mark, continuing all the way to redline. And the VTEC kicking in at 6100 adds to the experience as well. Another 1K rpm would be nice, as it is still pulling hard at fuel cutoff.
