hx = vtec-e..e stand for economy..its meant for good gas mileage..horse power wise its 115 hp and 107 tq i think..you should get around 400+ per tank..i'd keep it if i were you

The transmissions are only as bad as their drivers. People get an HX and say "OMG, I got VTEC!" and beat the s**t out of the car.

Yeah a 5 speed tranny from an ex,dx,etc. The problem is that its going to cost you money.

get rid of them wheels and get some stockers and that will help with gas mileage too.

yeah hx models auto trannies are known to be broken down after a whlie. but depends on how the driver driven the car.
