I know that the EX has additional features like extra cup holders and a moon roof, but is there any significant difference "under the hood"?

Prior to 2006 the Honda Civic EX had a upgraded engine compared to the DX & LX versions which usually shared the same engine.































89-91 Civic EX had 106 HP engine while DX/LX had 92 HP engine































92-95 Civic EX had 125 HP VTEC engine while DX/LX had 102 HP engine































96-00 Civic EX had 127 HP VTEC engine while DX/LX had 106 HP engine































01-05 Civic EX had 127 HP VTEC engine while DX/LX had 115 HP engine































For the 2006+ Civic's Honda made all Civic models share the same engine except for the Si which had a stronger more powerful DOHC VTEC engine.

four wheel disc brakes and aluminum wheels are the only substantial upgrades to the ex model in the past few years over the lx.
