I wouldn't call the DX gears, "great". Just less bad than the EX.
HX and 5th-gen VX had lean burn and no others.
CX/DX/LX have ok gear ratios.
HX has the best 6th-gen gears.
CX/VX are even better, but 5th gen (but they are interchangeable).
Run away from the HX cvt. Poor reliability and less mpg.
A good HX will be hard to find. I'd look for a DX or CX if you can't find one.
