Thanks guys. I've been in EF's forever, and am thinking about moving into an EK hatch as my daily driver. What trim levels were available for the years 96-00?

Was the hatch even available from 98-00? Sorry for the noob question guys, but I couldn't find enough info in one location to get it all straight.

P.S. What's everybody's favorite, as far as trim level goes?

For 96-00 there were 2 types of hatches available.

DX and CX

CX is a little bit below the DX, less options come standard.

There is a 96-98 model year, and a 99-00 model year. Only minor cosmetic changes were made between these 2 models.

Personally I have a DX.

I like the 99-00's front ends. Larger grille, fog light holes, just a better look. Not to flashy like most body kits.

from what i see, difference between the 97 dx and 97 CX was the wing, painted mirrors, and rear windshield wiper..

I prefer the 96-98 style myself.

I like the front end better,
it's not as "new and clean" looking as the 99-00
but It's got a simpler look to it, and that single lower grille opening is cool, especially matched with the right front lip

the center console is different. the 97-98 has the mechanical temperature slider where the 99-00 has the electrical temp dial.

I don't think the CX came with rear speakers. Not sure on that. Am I right?
