hx's are slow. But they have heads with roller rockers so you can get a nasty cam and a retune. You can boost the engine and make decent power and still have insane low end gas mileage.

Yes I do like the wheels alot. And that's sick but I prolly won't rip it apart till next year. But I I'm really happy with what Im hearing about this car. I looks like the switch to Honda was a very good one.

The hx is pretty good since it's pretty much the lightest trim. The wheels are like 9 pounds each or something.

With a B16 swap it would be faster then a Si.

With an HX you never have to worry about replacing window motors or moonroofs. ::

Being cheaper in original purhase cost gives you more $$ in your pockets for suspension upgrades and a swap
