Greetings to all!

Sorry for my lack of knowledge of things, but what is the difference in the LX and EX 2001 Honda Civic Models. I just bought a used one and I am trying to learn up on it.

Thanks,

MM

 

i think the difference is interior features such as sunroof for example the lx doesnt have that but the ex does. but they pretty much have the same motor.

 

I looked up the engines for you; the 7th gen LX's have the d17a1 engine and the EX's have the d17a2. The difference is that the a1 is non-vtec and makes 12hp less than the a2. Other than that, it's the features like munkee said.

And welcome to HCF

 

EX has a few more luxury features (i.e. sunroof), a stronger engine (HP wise, not reliability-wise... they are pretty equal in reliability), and a shorter geared transmission for better acceleration. Other than that they are pretty much the same.

 

i just know the 07 civic lx and ex have the same vtec motor... was a lil skeptacle about the 01

 

Thanks Gents!

This is pretty accurate. The EX and LX were different mostly in the sunroof, VTEC, intake manifold, exhaust manifold/cat, optional ABS, optional rear discs, rims/tires, tranny ratios, and possibly the anti-swaybars.
