Differences between 1996 HX Coupe and 1999 HX Coupe?

I just checked on autos.msn.com and it lists the curb weight of a 1996 HX Coupe as 2313. Then I looked at the 1999-2000 HX Coupe and it lists the curb weight as 2370. I checked Edmunds but I could not find a difference.

Does anyone know what makes up this 57 lb difference?

Thanks a bunch!

Mabye one was weighed with the CVT tranny? I don't think that there are any changes other than the front end.

maybe the '96 had less gas in it?

Re: Differences between 1996 HX Coupe and 1999 HX Coupe? (99D16VTECCivic)

are the 99 hatches really that heavy(2310 pounds). I have a 92 4 dr civic and it weighs 2425 which is only a little over 100 pounds and that's with a b-series swap. Is it worth it for me to buy a 99 hatch for weight reduction.
