looks like the pic is not working, but painted spoiler, steels with plastic covers, a better stereo, i think AC was still optional on the DX. not a lot really.

the hatch back list is broken at top of page

 

there is really very little difference, not enough to warrent extra cash. my little CX came with the cargo shelf and rear wiper and washer. might of been a Canadian thing. No passenger airbag in mine though.

 

id go with CTR ftw

Spoilers are completely different, not just painted.

 

I rehosted the hatch image on the link posted above. Here's the info in text though. This is just regarding the CX versus the DX.

Just noticed I somehow forgot the cargo cover in the chart, but I'll fix it later. I've noticed several things missing from each chart and constantly want to add more anyway.
