I can't find the 0-60 time for the Civic HX CVT, but I found this video of someone doing 0-100 KPH in a Civic Ferio with the same engine I have (the EX VTEC engine) and a CVT and I timed the 0-60 MPH at around 8.8 seconds, faster than the short geared EX 5 speed. No idea what the weather conditions were like or anything, but it's the best I could do.
With the tall geared 5 speed I found that the HX does 0-60 in 10.2 seconds with a quarter mile time of 17.7 seconds. The shorter geared LX 5 speed (with 1 less HP) does 0-60 in 9.3 seconds with a quarter mile time of 17.2 seconds. The short geared EX 5 speed with 11 more HP than the LX and 10 more than the HX does 0-60 in 9 seconds with a quarter mile of 16.5 seconds.
Unfortunately the LX, HX, and EX all have different engines, but the gearing seems to be a significant factor since even the LX with 1 less HP than the HX still did 0-60 0.9 seconds faster with a 0.5 second faster quarter mile. I wish I could find a comparison
EDIT: I found that the 0-60 time for a Civic Ferio 1.7 5 speed is 9 seconds with a quarter mile time of 16.8 seconds, the auto version does 0-60 in 10.6 seconds (slow!) with a quarter mile time of 17.6 seconds, and the CVT version does 0-60 in 9.4 seconds with a quarter mile time of 17.1 seconds. All these cars have the same 1.7 VTEC engine. Here's where I found the specs:
