Hi,
I am hopefully hoping to buy a 4th gen hatch right after christmas this year.
Im pretty sure it is gonna be a DX because I dont wanna a STD, because of the shitty engine and 4 speed tranny.
Also, I would get an SI but they are pretty rare to find.
Anyways, what does the DX hatch not have compared to my LX 4 door sedan.
Will it have power steering? Right side rear view mirror? I know it is abotu 160lbs lighter then my 4 door and 10 inches shorter.
Tranny will be the same 5 speed correct? Anything else that i should know? I wont have power windows or locks, which is actually better because on older cars those things kinda wear down. Like my power locks and windows are kinda slow.

tranny will be a 5 sped, it will have AC, no powersteering, it will have right side mirror. A DX and a std have prety much the same engine, and the Si hatches are kind of hard to find, but it is prety easy to find a si CRX(at least where i live).

My DX had powersteering, but I think the ones in the states don't have it or something like that. Also, I have no passenger side mirror, it was an option.. So it may have one.

the USDM DX has passenger mirror as an option, AC as an option (mine didnt come with either), no powersteering option, and the engine is similar to the STD, but not the same. D15B2 is the LX/DX engine, DPI injection of course, and the STD is D15B2, which is DPI and detuned about 20 hp. The transmissions are the same in all DX/LX.
I weighed my 91 DX hatch with D16Z6 swap with full interior and a group 24 battery relocated to the hatch, without driver it weighed in at 2180lbs. Stock, it should weigh around 2125-2150, this is without AC of course.
