    Arrow Dx

    how do you guys do it? how do you live with a dx? i just drove my friends DX hatch civic, and having power nothing sucks major ASS. maybe i'm just spoiled, having a LX-i and all, but i mean come on, power options are spectacular.

    my question is how do you do it, how do you deal with having to put major effort into doing everything?

    now i just sound like a lazy fucker...

    I like my DX. DX has PS... and really, the only thing that sucks is power windows. Other than that, it's fine... and a lot lighter, and gets a lot more accel off the line.

    Really it's not that bad. The door is like half the weight of a luxury sedan when you open it. Just think how much better gas mileage we get.

    I want same color bumpers too... but that's easily solved. I'll probably end up painting my car soon anyway, so really it's not that bad of a deal

    i love having power windows, locks, mirrors, and i love my sunroof. even though my car is old, it gives me bragging rights over everybody elses newer cars, cuz they dont have a sunroof.

    LX-I > all

    It also adds weight! I just raced an 86 or 87 LX and beat the shit out of him. I was first off the line and got farther and farther ahead

    I just wish I had power windows, thats the only thing that pisses me off, especially if you drop off your friends who didnt lock their doors or roll up their windows!

    I dont like to sound like a nag but i hate to have to get outta the car to lock it up.

    I don't mind having a base model (Canadian LX=US DX). So I have to lock each door individualy, open and close my windows manually...meh no big deal. But I do have power steering which I like alot. Of course then again I've never driven a car with out it so I don't know the difference.
