Cx and Vx are the best SiR and Type R are terrible.

If youre unlucky enough to have to et stuck with an Si or Type R or EX, make sure you swap in a d15.

D is for 'Da bomb'
V is for 'very awesome'
C is for 'cadillacin'
E is for 'eldorado'
L is for 'look at me i have too many doors'

Ex- 2 and 4 door.. over all best, comes with power everything, ac and 1.6 Vtec

Dx- 2 and four door.. this is the worst model when it comes to options
theres no power options, no Ac, 1.5 non-vtec I dont even think it came with a clock

Lx- 4 door, comes with some power options but isnt quite as good as the Ex 1.5 non-vtec

i have a dx and it came with ac and a clock, no power options, but for me thats better. no bullshit to replace when the power windows stop working or the power lock mechanisms.

Yeah. You can get a dx which comes with a/c, then do a mini-me swap (ex head on your dx block and ex intake manifold) then you'll basically have the ex engine in your dx with less weight then the ex.

nothing to it, just swap out the dx head/intake manifold and bolt the ex head on with a new headgasket. voila!
