I love these 6th-gen Civics, but the HX CVT is the one I would stay away from. That's a weak transmission. HX with manual is the best mileage of the batch, but the CVT loses some of that as well as being less reliable.
If you're set on automatic, EX is fine.
If you're willing to go with a manual, HX is great. Consider the LX before the EX, since the EX manual has shorter gears = higher rpm and therefore lower highway mpg.
