Default How are the 96 civic hatchback CX?

I'm oing to buy one with 94k miles manual and going to sale my 90 crx. I'm looking forward to rear seats and will be more roomy than the crx. Just curious how this cars are. I hope I get
35mpg on the city and over 40 highway

you definately will get great gas milage out of those cars, and they have more room than the CRX. the only thing with the CX is that they arent the quickest cars, they're more for fuel economy.

Yea man i used to have a 97 Hatchback CX!!!! I'm a daily driver and that car never gave me problems with gas. I'd fill my tank every 4 days and i drive my car everywere in the city! Real roomy. Only reason i sold it cause i bought it salvaged otherwise i would still have it!!!! Now i got a 93 EG and it's great too!!

93 eg? I bought the car its silver has more HP than my crx since i had the 90 hp version dx. Atleast this one has 106 plus its manual unlike my crx. the old owner told me he has replaced the 02 sensor 3 times about every 20k miles and supposedly its liek a recall so its been covered. he states thats why the check engine light is on. I guess I have to go take it and have it scanned on a computer to see what code it spits out.

o2 sensor recall? Huh?

Get the code from the ECU to make sure that's the problem, and check all recalls of your model of car at...

If there is no o2 sensor recall for your year and model, he dicked you. I hope you got a really good deal on it.
