sounds like a dx to me if it is power nothing. the dx is the base model.

the model number (ej6, ej7, ej8) all corresponds to trim of the car and that should be on your vin.

cx is barebones too, i dont have anything power, no ac, no cruise.. DX version of the ek hatch has a back window wiper where as the CX dont, so i think the DX is one above the CX

ej6= dx look on the block on the motor where the trans and block meet, just left of the exhaust manifold and tell us what it says.
