what are the differences between CX and DX model in the years of 98 or 99 ?

are they using the same engine?

anyone has any spec info regarding them for that year?

Thanks alot.

Personally I'd choose the 99 over the 98 because of the headlight redesign.

All 6th hatches had the same motor (meaning no VTEC and only single cam).

The details (like added options onto the car) I wouldn't know because I don't drive a hatch myself hehehe ....

SuperDerek

Thanks for the quick reply.. so i guess Civic LX and EX are using the DOHC 1.6 motor.. right?
so the hatch used a SOHC 1.6 engine instead... which is more economical on gas? am i right.. point out if I'm wrong Thanks.

no civic uses a DOHC engine, except the Civic SiR (B series)

all civic except the SiR have either a SOHC engine (D series)

yup yup, that implies to North American cars that is

Unless you have a swap or unless the previous owner did it.

I've always wondered what the differences b/w the CX and DX are.
From what I understand the differences are fairly neglible.
As far as I know the only differences are that the DX has a tach (big thing for me, I MUST have a tach), um body coloured spoiler, alarm pre-wiring and powersteering. Thats all I know for sure since I test drove both a DX and CX when I was looking for a car.
The only thing I noticed as well was that the CX only had 2 speakers (front) I don't remember if the DX had 4 speakers but I think it did though.
Oh ya and the DX had a tape player and the CX only had a radio.
The DX has 14ers and the CX has 13 in '96 and 14 from there on. I don't know the differences b/w the intergenerational "upgrades" though. Sorry.

Sorry I can't really say much else for sure but its all I remember! I ended up with a CRX!

As for the engine, you could always swap! B18C5.

Damn, I want a 6th Gen Hatchback...

There could be more differences but these are the ones that I can remember.

Luckily for me, my cx came with ALL the dx options when I bought it used (except for the coloured moldings and stuff).

the best little CX you can get but no power doors
:cry:

i have 2 friends that bought a cx and a DX and they came with none of those so i don't know really
i honestly thought it was only the TACH difference

SilverCRXSi

I have a brochure from the '00 model years and the DX didn't have body coloured mouldings.
This is confusing!

CivicTypeRChic

mine has power doors and windows

Chronos

No power steering! :fustrated

Pain in the ***!

it builds muscle

oh and i forgot i have stock 4 speakers
they were pioneer stock equal to AC DELCRAP lol

SilverCRXSi

i don't think anyone knows what the hatchback comes with..

SuperDerek

coz they all took the car apart and put so much mods into it after get the car out of the dealer.. and they never get a chance to notice the different before putting custom things into it..

SilverCRXSi

You're probably right.
Who knows?

But I think you have an overall idea.
There are some similarities too.

CTR-Chick- Did you buy your Civic new? If so? Were PL and PW an option?

CX = no options

CXG = same options as the DX but no colour matched spoiler


96 civic hb = no mid frame reinforcement
