is there a reason why you would want to trade? is there something better from the dx compared to your ex? besides the paint and the quarter panel? what's in the dx that makes you really want to do the trade? btw, the craigslist post doesn't work

Don't do it. Your car is better, it has the D16Y8 SOHC VTEC motor. If you are considering doing a trade do it for none other than another EX. Unless you don't care about the extra 25hp.

a manual is nice.... and to me the weak y7 has more power than my y8 with the manual tranny over the auto.LOL

its a close call... you dont realize how nice power windows are until ya dont have them anymore
but if you have some wiring skills you can always convert to power windows and locks... just no sunroof.

i like my dx for its cheapness and better milage.... but i also like my ex for all th epower options and sunroof. main thing i miss is the cruise control!!!!!!! the sunroof isnt so much of a loss. but i dont think i can just add cruise control without swaping out the whole wire harness and all the electronics for it... which is a bit ruff to do im sure....

Very true. Think long and hard about that. I had a 1993 Civic DX. I jumped into the purchase too fast, and thought I wouldn't care. Not having power anything really sucked, and was 1/4 of the reason I got rid of that car for my Del Sol. The other 3/4 reasons were it was/had a non-VTEC engine, a 4-door, and automatic transmission.
