It depends on the MY as well... from '92 on, for basic features with great FE, you'd want the DX model.

If you wanted a CRX, you'd want an HF, which has the same features as the DX, except the rear wiper, and it's lighter and gets better FE.

Later on, there were the GX, HX, VX, EX, DX, CX, Si, and if you went overseas, there were even more. The DX is by far the most popular, the GX was an NGV, the HX and CX I think were Canada's, the EX was the Si version of the sedan body, the Si was not something you wanted to get into if you wanted fuel economy, and the VX was probably the best model out there for FE, utilizing the lean-burn capability of the D15Z1.

That covers from 88-00, but beyond '00 I stopped caring about Civics.
