A Civic CX isn't much worse than a VX.

No reason not to get one if you can find a non-rusty one, and are prepared to do maintenance/repairs yourself!
The 65 miles one-way is broken into 35 miles of hilly highway (55-65mph zones) and 30 miles of hilly country roads (30-45mph zones) including some mountain switchbacks. I encounter all of 2 stop-lights on the trip. One by the parking lot of my place of employment and one about 0.5 miles from the house where I cross over a major road. Other than that it's a scenic, mountainous, hour and fifteen minute commute over the river and through the woods.

Special thanks, though, your website [in no small way] influenced my desire to go with a Metro XFI.
