Model Lineup
Honda offers the 2009 Civic coupé and sedan in DX, LX, EX, EX-L and Si trim levels; in addition, the sedan is available in DX-VP, LX-S, Hybrid and natural-gas-powered GX trim. DX models are pretty basic, with cloth upholstery, 195/65R15 tires on steel wheels, and power windows, but little else: not even a stereo. The new DX-VP adds air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input jack. The Civic LX adds power locks; remote keyless entry; air conditioning; 4-speaker, 160-watt AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo; auxiliary input jack; cruise control; fold-down rear seat; and P205/55R16 tires on steel wheels with wheelcovers. The LX-S sedan gets alloy wheels; sport-trimmed black seat cloth with synthetic suede bolsters; leather-wrapped steering wheel; rear spoiler; and a chrome exhaust tip. All EX models get alloy wheels, a 60/40 split/folding rear seat, moonroof, ambient console lighting, USB audio interface, and steering wheel audio controls. The EX-L model adds leather seats (heated in front) and heated door mirrors. EX and EX-L coupés get a 7-speaker audio system with a subwoofer. Honda generally does not offer factory options, but EX and EX-L models can be fitted with XM satellite radio, a GPS-linked navigation system with voice activation, and a Bluetooth hands-free cell phone link. Hybrid and GX sedans get a level of equipment similar to the LX; 
the GX comes with 15-inch steel wheels while the Hybrid gets alloy wheels and an optional navigation system. For 2009, the Hybrid is available with leather upholstery, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The Si is the high-performance version of the Civic. Available in both coupé and sedan form, it gets a more powerful engine, 6-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential and a performance-tuned suspension. The Si also gets 17-inch wheels with high-performance tires, trunk lid spoiler, fog lights, and unique interior trim including synthetic suede seats with red stitching.
