Yes, the 7th gen had suspension changes that I didn't like. And the gearing got shorter, even on the HX. But I thought the coupe was good looking. And there is a guy on my Honda transmission specs thread these days revealing surprising swaps of gears with Inihts and 7th gen civics. That would give you nearly VX gearing in a 2005 HX.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
