EJ6. "EK" is the designation for the 96-00 Hatchback in Japan, so all 96-00 civics are commonly referred to as "EK's."

The Hatchback's came in CX and DX trim. The CX trim is only available in the hatchback body style, but there is a DX coupe and sedan in addition to the DX hatchback.

Ek is used for 96-00 civic coupes, hatches, and four doors. Although if you look at the VIN in the US it will say EJ. People call them both

I know what you are saying but sad to say you will have to look at everyone to see if its a hatch.
