Default Whats the difference between DX/LX/HX/EX ?

I'm looking at buying a Civic in the near future, and I cant find any information regarding the different trim levels. I can find info on the motors and trannys, but not on the option differences.

So what are the differences? I'm looking for disk brakes and cruise control. EXs have a sunroof?

And if it matters, I'm looking at the 4 door models with a 5 speed.

So I guess I want to get an EX model and swap in an HX final drive. Should be a comfortable highway cruiser with sunroof and ABS brakes.

Ultimate Highway Gas Mileage

And we dont have many highways with speeds that low. Usually 65-75 (or 80 if you're in a hurry and want to speed)

I forgot to uncheck the "Append signature" box.

Back in the teggie days I loved customizing the gears in the car. I ended up daily driving an Integra GSR with a B16 case, B16 1-4, ITR LSD and ring gear, and LS 5th gear. It was "fast" and got excellent gas mileage.

If I had kept the D17, I would have probably got an HX final drive. I prefer lower rpm's at highway speeds as well.
