Wasssuppp to all 8th gen enthusiasts!! I've got a burning question!!

Nightshadow · 06-08-2006, 02:00 AM

Hey everyone I'm debating on getting either a 4 door LX or EX and of course its gonna be manual. But I would like to know the main differences becuase the price diff is roughly 2-3k for them. Any advice on what I should buy from owners . I'm a previous 7th gen Celica GTS 6spd owner so I know a bit about the import scene and would like to know if one is nimbler, sportier, or anything to set them apart. I look foreward to talkin with everyone here and am glad to join an aweasome forum. Civics rule!!!

Welcome to 8thcivic Nightshadow

Some of the diffrences are Audio system, steering wheel controls, moonroof, rims, different interior choices and 4 wheel disk brakes on the EX.

Yeah, that is about all there is....

I thought that the LX has 4 wheel disc brakes too. Correct me if I'm wrong.....

Whoops nevermind I just checked, I swear when I was at the dealer it was all 4 disc. Damn I'd rather get a Si with the minor difference in price between the EX and Si. We'll just have to wait and see what the dealers quote me with.

Lx has front disc/rear drum

If speed is important get the SI, of not I'd recommend LX, thats what I got. The EX isnt worth the extra 2 grand for wheels and a crappy sub

My #1 reason for buying an EX over the LXis the moonroof. Steering wheel contols are nice to have also.

Drive an Si (if you can find one) before you make up your mind.
