what is the difference between both of these models? been wondering. Thanks.

 

Engine wise? Well, it has a watered down vtec compared to the ex.

 

Don't HX's have that CVT tranny?

 

waterdown down vtec, so taht means it has it but not as strong as the ex? and a CVT tranny? also which one would you recommend.

 

I'd say go EX...but I think HX has the VTEC-e...and with today's gas prices that'd be a good thing

 

If you can find an HX, get that, definetely. Theyre kinda rare though. The HX and EX both have vtec, the EX is a little quicker, but the HX gets like 40 mpg or so. they both come with power everything standard. But from 96-00 the HX is the only civic with alloy wheels. But yeah, thats only the HX with an automatic that has the CVT, not the stick shift.

 

alright that kind of help clear some things up. thanks guys.

 

I have a 97 HX with a stick, it gets great mileage. The HX doesn't have the painted mirrors, back area around license plate, and the rocker molding area. Also, it does not include AC or a sunroof in stock form.

 

what type of gas milage you get with your hx?

 

I get about 37 to 40 mpg and my car has about 245000 miles.
