Alright.... I already feel retarded for asking this.... but whats the difference between a CX and a DX EG civic? I've just been looking at insurance quotes and I'm wondering if the difference would be worth it.

you should spend some time searching, but i'll help out alittle.

off the top of my head, cx is base.
no radio
no power anything
weakest of the honda engines.

dx, is almost the same, but it has radio and power steering. that;s all i can think of.

Read that.

 

cx has no options.... dx has same motor but it also has ac, power steering, and body colored spoiler the cx is super light tho

 

No the CX does not have the same motor. D15B8 =/ D15B7. 8 Valves vs. 16 valves....it makes a difference

In my experience (a DX owner, EH), I kinda don't have power steering

 

my DX has no power steering, but it has radio,cd player,and A/C

 

I don't have AC either, lol. I think I gots jacked

Damn stock options

 

power steering dont come for DX or CX... Dx has AC. CX has everything that a DX have beside AC

 

92-95
Different engine and comestic

96-00
Same engine. Differnedt Comestic

 

Ummm......my CX has AC.....

 

my friends eg cx has a/c, but a weak a$$ motor. got beat by my dad's 94 toyota pickup (4 cyclinder). and the motors are different, a dx picks up a lot faster than a cx motor.

 

i got a dx without power steering, A/C or a spoiler. its got a 16 valve though and floor matts

A radio, cassetter player, CD player, CD tuner and/or equalizer and tweeter kit are all optional in both the CX and DX hatches.

In fact, ALL of the options (electrical, exterior and interior) are the same for both the CX and DX hatches. At least the EPC says so.

You're right about the power steering though. It's listed as a standard part for the USDM DX hatch but not for the USDM CX hatch.

The A/C is also listed in standard parts for both the 5G CX and DX hatches. I know that at least for the 6th gen, all models that didn't necessarily come factory with A/C had it offered as an option.

 

94 dx, no power steering,...got a/c and it also has a factory sunroof, and i also think there's a difference in the rims....dx comes with steelies, cx has no humcaps, vx has them hot lil rims....etc..

The EPC says the USDM '94 DX hatch didn't come with a factory moonroof.

 

i have a CX that came with a radio and A/C but no power steering

No rear wiper and side molding. A/C was optional on CX

No powersteering was availabe for the DX/CX hatchback model. Automatic was available on the DX.

I think only in 1992. The CX came only with driver side mirror. Passanger was optional.

In 92-93 passanger airbag was not available till 94-95 models. Glove box compartment was re-design for passanger SRS. 92-93 front side bumper vent were left unpainted including the rear lower section on the rear bumper. Not everone notice this. But the cap cover for the front seat belt on the B-pillar was also resigned.

96-00
DX/CX
Both get the same MPG (City / Hwy) 29/36. Look like starting 97 MPG now is Mileage (City / Hwy) 28/35
Fuel Capcity is 11.9
DX 2388 lbs
CX 2359 lbs

Both have the same engine. However it still remain non-vtec.
Displacement : 1593 cm3
Bore and Stroke : 75 mm X 90 mm
Compression : 9.4:1
Power : 106 hp @ 6200 rpm
Torque (ft·lb@rpm): 103 (141 N·m) @ 4,600 rpm
Valvetrain : SOHC
Fuel Control : OBD-2 MPFI
Head Code : P2F

Gear ratio i have no info.
The spoiler are both different. Easiest way to recoginzed is DX is paint and CX is not. I seen CX with different year from 96-00 have side molding. DX only have rear wiper. Both model came with powersteering.

There are some other stuff i left out.

Correct.

DX = rear wiper
CX = no rear wiper.

Also DX have Intermitted wiper for the front. While the CX only get slow and fast.
