I've been looking at civic hatchbacks for sale recently and alot of the dx and cx have no power anything and no rpm. If that's the case what is the difference between the cx and the dx??? Also the vx has a rpm so does that mean it's a higher up model?? All the civics I've looked at are 92-95 hatchback if that helps.

Thanks

One question that wasn't answered in that link.

What's the difference between VTEC-E and VTEC? I know what VTEC in general is... but is the "E" version less potent or something?

Oh... and where's the 6th and 7th generation SIR Civic? I thought that had a different motor as well? More HP... but same torque?? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks! :)

If I remember correctly, VTEC-E is a 3 stage system to improve fuel efficiency.

VTEC-E (Efficiency) is tuned to get better gas mileage as opposed to regular VTEC, so to answer your question it is less potent.

As for the SIR Civic, I don't know the engine specs for it, so I can't really find a reason why they left it out.

The American Si is the Canadian SIR. That chart represents the US models. The 125HP engine comes in the Canadian Si, while the 160Hp engine comes in the Canadian SiR
