Well about the 89bhp was talking about normal state of tune, a new RD custom ECU will definately counter the detuning [assuming it's ECU related] therefore you start at 89bhp...
About the autobox, dunno why but in the CVT i could feel it everytime the gears changed [from 1-2, 2-3]. Not saying that the Corolla has the best autobox, the measly 4 gears are slow on the highway...but the shifts feel more seemless [unless ofcourse you push it]
I drive a friends City CVT once in a while, it's a good car, not abused or anything, but the shifts just don't feel right...
The civic will be a good car, But honestly I'm bored of automatics...
