its got a Vtec motor designed for extra fuel economy. They have 115 hp, and became available in '96. '98+ HXs that had automatic transmissions had a gearless Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that worked off pulleys and belts rather than gears, allowing for an endless possiblity of gear ratios.

Yeah, the wheels are really light – they're made by Enkei. The HX engine is a D16Y5 which has a roller head. However, the engine runs very lean (hence the VTEC "e" for economy).
