i've had both the 1.8 and 2.2..
gotta say the 1.8 picks up in low revs a lot quicker, but overall the difference between the two is very noticeable.. the 2.2 is a better drive..
The shove in the seat or extra power feel between the 2.2 and a turbo would be more from the substantial torque difference than the power difference
A very close friend of mine has a TS 1.8ltr sedan, compared to a another friends 2.2ltr hatch, there is a very noticeable difference in power and go...however both feel like total weaklings compared to my heavier turbo convertible, even when it was stock....both those guys freak out when they ride in my vert, at how much stronger it feels and pulls and my vert would be slower than a turbo hatch because it weighs alot more
My rides: 2004 Opel/Bertone TS Astra turbo convertible - 2012 Mercedes Benz C204 C Class coupe
Others: 2009 Honda City VTiL sedan - 2015 Fiat 500

haha..I agree...2.2L will pull a lot better, especially if you have 2 or 3 passengers in the car...you will notice the difference a lot more then...
