Hey John. There is not too many dtecs in my country and recently I came across some tour videos while the civic dtec was idling. I always dreamed about a silent idling diesel engine but all of them felt much like the same. In those videos dtec blew my mind, it felt like it has similar knocking sound as a turbo gas engine. When I listened the other diesels from the same guys, they were just like what I expected. Is it really that silent after the engine heats up? If it is, after that many miles, is there any noticeable difference with the noise? Thanks

I made the mistake in 2014 of buying a very low mileage 1.8 petrol Tourer (2000 miles) I absolutely hated the performance it was too sluggish and noisy for me I should have bought a Diesel, I kept it less than 6 months ended up buying a little Volvo V40 D2 it was marginally better but the reliability was shocking flat batteries and brake warning and ABS malfunctions, I should have got a Civic Diesel but at the time there were none for sale anywhere as they were so much in demand on the nearly new used market.
