Rep Power: 260 Yeah, I test drove an 03 or 04 Value Package Civic a week or so ago and it had NO TACH IN A MANUAL. That is officially retarded. The guy was like "a lot of people ask how they are supposed to know when to shift since there's no tach..." I was like "No Kidding." I said "I know it would only cost honda about $2 to put a tach in here but its just a stupid ploy to get people to buy the more expensive LX." He shut up after that.

Rep Power: 335 Bellz. . I almost agree. As an LX owner I have to defend my decision a bit of course, but I can see what you are saying.
So. . in agreement if I had it to do over again, I would have got the EX, but that's just me.
In disagreement though. . I don't have a plug in my door where the handle used to be and I have a tach so I don't have to take the time and spend the money to have one put in. In addition to that the power windows, doors, and tach weren't the only reason for getting the LX. I also get A/C (that some DX's don't have), cruise control, etc. :-P .
In addition to that it was cheaper than the EX, and I didn't do enough research, just wanted a Civic NOW. . so yeah. .
And the LX may be the slowest in the stock form, but I make it look goooooooooood..

And I guess I offended the LX clan with pheaton. It was a joke, get over it! And my dx already had A/C, thankyouverymuch. Anyone who buys a NEW car w/o air is nuts! And the "plug" in the door doesn't bother me one bit! I'll bet my windows roll faster than yours!
