I wonder if it could be an EX? But I didn't think that came in a hatch. It did, however, have the "bigger" D16A6 and could have either an auto or a manual gearbox.

Nope it was an Si, we had them with automatics here. I believe we only had CX, DX, and Si for '88-'91, I don't think you folks had the CX, it was called a STD instead, but ours could come with either a 4 speed or a 5 speed manual. My '90 is a CX 5 speed, which I am pretty sure doesn't exist in the USA? The car I am currently driving is a '94 Si coupe with an automatic, which I also think doesn't exist in the states, all the online VIN decoders say it's an EX, but it isn't. When I had it for sale I even had some guy call me up and say even though he didn't want to buy it, that my car didn't exist and that I must be wrong about it being an Si lol. OK Mr. Expert, whatever you say!

Canadian 4th Gens 101 (I have no proof of this, but I think this is correct):

Civic 4 door sedans came in CX or DX, and I think that's it, both had the 1.5L
Civic hatchbacks came in CX, DX, or Si, with the Si only having the 1.6L
Civic Wagons came in DX or Si only, with Si being AWD with a 1.6L
CRX came in DX or Si only, with the Si getting the 1.6L
Any of the above were available with either automatic or manual transmission.
