huh? i don't get it. I know that in the US, the EX was a VTEC (although often not labelled as so, it had the D16Y8 motor, vs the D16Y7 in the non vtec) so there may be some truth to what you say. However, the difference between my canadian LX and all the other sedan models is just in electronics. But the suspension and steering parts are identical between all models, so how does the EX and HX handle better? t Kevin McMurtrie wrote: >> Hi, >> >[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> Any other things to check? >> Thanks > >The LX is the low-end 4 door.

My '93 Accord is a Canadian LX, which is actually the base model. In the U.S., the base model was the DX, with LX being the reasonably well equipped mid-level. |

I think I pointed that out in my post. EX Gen 6 civics in the US is VTEC, not in Canada. LX is top trim in the US, and bottom in Canada. My point was that the suspension and steering parts are common, regardless of trim level, whereas the previous poster said that the higher trim levels 'handle and corner better'. t S.S. wrote: >> huh? i don't get it.

I don't think it's only a Canada versus US thing. Honda doesn't seem very consistent with their trim level features. > Kevin McMurtrie wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >> Any other things to check? > >> Thanks > > > >The LX is the low-end 4 door.
