This is mainly for the people that drive stock HXs everyday. Does the car constantly feel like it needs more power, or is it not that bad? I'm looking to get one of these, and was just curious about how current owners felt about them.

its the hx tranny its really geared for gas mileage, I have a hx drive it almost everyday, I just could not stand the gearing in the tranny i bought a a000 and swaped it out, its a little impro0vement, but the car is slow as **** just like most stock civics, but I love it because it great on gas mileage.

Is this for the guys with the CVT's or the 5 speeds...or both?

You guys can argue out the track times of a car designed purely for fuel efficiency in the GDD with the rest of the unimportant ****. Don't forget to compare it to the prius and civic hybrid in terms of sheer speed and HP.

I do not think this is bench racing. I think he's just trying to get some opinions about whether or not he would enjoy driving an HX for an everyday car.

I'll take opinions from people who have either one, although I'm weary about the CVT's. LOL @ you mentioning track times.

It will merge onto the highway just fine.

It will get great MPG.

Yes, it would be a good daily driver.
In stock form, that's all it's good for.

The HX is awesome! Yeah it doesn't have much HP, but you can't complain about 40 mpg. I actually average about 39 mpg, but I've got up to 49 before. I've even heard guys getting 50+ in theirs. It will accelerate just fine for daily driving, and it's got enough power to be safe, you just can't go racing anyone

Well, he could. But, unless they're on foot he will lose.
