CX = lower than base model... made to be a very inexpensive car... these are hatchbacks only
DX = base model, usually no luxury features
LX = DX with some luxury features (such as power windows/locks, etc.)... these are 4-doors only
EX = LX features with upgraded engine and transmission, plus a sunroof
Si = EX with upgraded engine and transmission, plus "Si" badging and a few other differences. This is the performance model... they don't have a 96-98 Si though
HX = fuel economy model, has a very fuel efficient engine


So your options for a 96-98 (you said 96-97, but 98 is the same too) coupe are DX, EX, and HX. 99-00 are very similar though so you might also consider those.

Basically, DX will be cheapest and the slowest. EX will be the fastest (keep in mind it's still not fast, lol). HX will have very good gas mileage and I think they also have all the power options like the EX.

 

ive been looking online and im acually leaning more towards the 94-95 body styles what would be the best model to go after money is not really a problem right now i got about 5k to spend on a car sooo whats your guys opinions on what to get i only want a 2 door NO HATCH and i want a good solid motor and tranny 5 speed also soo please help me out with some more info... i like the front and rear lights on the 94ish hondas... i will be eventually putting a faster motor in it i just dont know what to go with and or how to go about doing it... I Am a domestic guy im a chevy ford dodge man but i got a new job and im gonna be traveling alot sooooo im going with a honda BUT i dunno about the motors like whats better and what i should go with if im gonna be turboing it... i know about BIG motors like v8's like 302 350's 373 400 427 all that i know but when it comes to these lil 4 banger 1.8's im absolutly clueless on what to acually go with so some insight would be GREATLY appreciated

 

92-95 are all the same, oh and dont go for anything modified unless you trust their work.

 

what???????



If you're going 92-95, get an EX

 

is there an option for motors in the ex... and is the the best model i dont want the lowest i want options like power everything and nice seats... and im only gonna be going for something modified COSMETIC wise.. nuttin motor besides maybe and intake or fart can other than that i want it stock so i can TOYYY BSHHH BOOOO it myself

 

What do you mean by option?

All 92-95 EX came with the D16Z6 engine.

 

i was refering since he said he liked the 94-95 civic that all 92-95 civics are the same body style. now the best models to have is the ex or si for factory power and options.
