Type your VIN into Carfax.com and it will tell you.

Power steering and air conditioning are listed as options for both trims.

sounds like dx.

is it MT or AT?
MT, DX model came with power steering, CX didn't.
AT, both come with power steering.

also, does it have a rear window wiper? CX doesn't. Rear spoiler is unpainted on CX also.

They're both an option from Honda. That means not all of them will have power steering or a/c, but it was available.

So says Honda.

CX has stubby black spoiler (one piece, plastic) and no wiper. DX has long painted (multipiece - if you look closely) spoiler with a wiper.
