The HX was only ever made in a coupe; we are specifically looking for a sedan. It looks like they were never big in this market (Alberta, current pop~4M). Of the 415 2003-2006 civics, 3 of them are HX, and all of them are about 80% of our budget. Doesn't look like I can get a new one either, even if it had 4 doors.

Just test drove a 2007 Civic LX. The 08s are coming in shortly and it seems like they are trying to move the 07s.

Seemed a little less-peppy than I expected and a little claustrophobic. I'm not a terribly large person, but it seemed like the driving leg area wasn't suffcient; the left foot resting pad to the left of the clutch was too close, and the parking brake handle hit my right knee.

Nice and quiet at higher speeds though; felt like a more expensive care. Seemed pretty tight on the couple corners that I was able to find. Ok fit and finish, but apparently doesn't have heated seats as an option.
