Confusing. I got my data from Honda.com in 2013. But you are right for the link you offer for the 2003. Still, elsewhere, today, Honda.com lists only "Final Drive Ratio 4.41" for the 2002 MT EX. Oddly, their AT EX FD specs also change. See: https://owners.honda.com/vehicles/information/2002/Civic-Coupe/specs#mid^EM2192MW
Hard to confidently decide what is true without laying hands on the actual gears from an actual car.

EDIT: the Honda site also now labels the 2001-2005 EX as a "VTEC-E" engine and the HX as a "VTEC-E lean burn." But the EX was never vtec-e as far as I know. It's just VTEC. So I think over time, as they've updated that website, Honda may have introduced errors, which would be a bummer. Getting the original hard copies of the factory service manuals would be the way to resolve it.
