The VX is the best of the Civics aside from maybe an HX but I believe the CRX (especially the HF) is both lighter and has potential for a lower CdA than any 90's Civic. The VX and HX came with more powerful but also more sophisticated engines capable of lean burn which gives them an edge in economy over the D15B6 in the HF.

Ideally, you'd want a CRX with a VX or HX engine. Going with a CRX you give up backseats though.

The CRX HF tranny is the tallest, followed by the VX and then the HX.
