what's the differences in CX or DX for 98-00 Hatchback? thanks in advance....

cuz i'm buying the 99 cx hatchback for winter beater...

iluvmyek

dx has rear winshield wiper and painted wing

old man neri

I think slighly nicer seats and hub caps.

Mechanically they are they same as far as I know. The difference would just be cosmetic. This is to the best of my knowledge I am not 100% sure.

I can't wait to park my hatch in the shop and only drive it at the track, just have to finish all the paperwork on the powerstroke.

Yea, at least that's what i thought. Could have sworn i read that somewhere....

Either that or it was an "optional" item for the cx.

Same here... According to my VIN it's a CX, but i have a DX emblem... Bought off an old lady so i doubt she took the time to put it on there to add some rice. I have no wiper, power steering, or paint on the wing. But there is a gas light and a handle on the inside. i guess we'll never know.

Just A side note: Canadian models are different. For example they all have a rear whiper and I have never seen a fuel light go off.

A few of my friends and I have EK civics and none of us have powersteering, CX or DX. Let me know if I am wrong, but the only EK civics that came with powersteering were the automatics. My friends and I all have manual EK's.

I mean I have never ever seen a fuel light turn on when i was low on fuel. And I have taken it pretty damn low. I think it might say in my manual that Canadian models don't have it.

I appologize for my poor, ambiguous wording.

But for the original poster. I would recommend a rear whiper if you are going to see any snow or slush.

i'm so happy with the car(EK) even tho is all stock form and a CX i wonder if i can install the rear wiper just by switching the rear window and do some wiring from the DX model? haha DX conversion?

Save your money for something else, you don't need to get a rear wiper. My CX doesn't have one and its not that bad, summer or winter. The window is sloped enough that its not a problem for me, the only thing I would suggest is putting that RainX stuff on it.

My friend has a manual DX hatch with power steering.
