There is are several hondas for sale near my house and I am looking for a car for my mom and I to share.

There is a 1999 Honda Civic HX and an 1996 Civic DX (hatch) for sale. The HX has the cvt and the DX has an automatic.

Obviously the HX is going to get better fuel economy, but will it do 40+ on the highway cruising at 55-60 with about 3-5 stops over 33 miles?

They have identical mileage and are in similar condition with the HX being $5000 and the DX being $4000. What would you guys choose (considering the car will probably be used for about a year, maybe 2, and is replacing a Navigator).
