Civic VX - differences in model years?

[McPatrick]

I was wondering what the differences are in model years of the Civic VX. I had a '92 last year and got myself a '95 now. I haven't really been able to check my new prized posession out yet, but apart from a different seat fabric I noticed that it had the driver side air bag, which made me wonder if there are more differences at all. Does anyone know?

I think all VXs have an airbag for the driver. The passenger airbag was added in '94, I think. Maybe that's what you meant to say.

They did some funny stuff with the fuel tank. I think it was 12 gallons in '92 and '94. And 10 gallons in '93 and '95. I'd love to hear the inside story about how that decision got made.

I think it was in '94 that Honda switched to R-134a for A/C. Possibly some cars had it in late '93.

I think I've heard some people say that some VXs didn't have a passenger-side outside mirror. But I don't think I've ever seen one like that, so who knows.

I've heard that some early VXs in CA had the five-wire O2 sensor, and then the CA VX switched to the 4-wire.

I think in later years the standard radio was a little different. For example, I think it had 12 FM presets instead of 6, and more advanced tone controls.

Those are all the model-year differences I ever heard of. It would interest me if anyone knows of others.
