This is the biggest farce of all. The EX and HX have always had the same amount of power. A stock HX can easily beat a stock EX in a race because of its' lighter weight, but sheeple still insist the EX makes more HP; Honda says so...

Well, get this! The 2001/2002 CiViC EX's now come from the factory with HX motors under the hood, and they STILL claim the EX makes more power. Are ppl really this dumb?

Civic HX Coupe

A 117-horsepower 16-valve VTEC-E lean-burn engine is not only powerful, but efficient. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available. All the DC features are here as well, plus there's cruise control, lightweight 14-inch allow wheels, an AM/FM stereo cassette, a front passenger walk-in seat, power door locks, power mirrors, a tachometer and an available remote entry system. Wit the HX you're getting the most out of every tank of gas.

Civic EX Coupe

The sportiest of the sporty. The performance and efficiency of this 127-horsepower 16-valve VTEC-E engine are truly impressive. As is the extensive list of features. Everything that's on the LX is also on this model, as well as a power moon-roof with tilt feature, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) P185/65 R15 all-season tires, 15-inch allow wheels, a rear stabilizer bar, a CD player, a remote entry system and a rear beverage holder.
