I have a 95 Special Edition Vti Civic,
Besides the vti - what is the difference between the special edition to a normal 95 model eh.. ?
My friend said something about the side blinkers being attached to the mouldings or something - not really sure. I've tried looking it up - but could find nothing to help me out.. the only thing i see different is the special edition vti sticker on the back tbh.

i know for a fact in a hatchback is u get air bag/rear quarter panel speakers/different clock light/better seat trim everything else is same.
i driven vti,si,gli,gl and sum how mine feels different to other models beside vti, like its more roomy or sumthing idk.
but its not just me, my mates n sht say the same thing.
hrm i've been trying to find out this for years.. but to be an "SE" it may have simply come with (for example) mudflaps and a CD player (upgrade from Tape LOL) or floormats etc. it doesnt necesarilly mean there is anything mechanically different etc.. eing that yours is an 95 model it's probably a run-out model (before the EK came in) to stimulate dwindling sales at the end of the EG's model life.
my friend had a 95 VTi and it came with ABS (i think), SRS (airbag) and also had a black valve cover where all pre-95 VTi's had the unpainted valve cover and no-ABS.. but this wasnt a SE model or anything..
recently, for example, Honda had a CRV "Special Edition" and aside from SE decals and badges, if had FOGLIGHTS, FLOORMATS, REAR PARK SENSORS and ALLOYS added to the base model CRV..

put the crack-pipe down HAHAHA... Driver Airbag were ADR required on all 95 model cars.. allthough I dont think Breezes had them even as an option - but I think only VTi's and GLi's were sold in MY95 ??
..All VTi's have the rear speakers as standard.. I think Si has them also.. prob an option on other models ? I thought GLs and GLi's had them also but I could be wrong there. there is only one clock in AUS EG's.. the cloth is the same as per model varient.. as per interior feeling roomier etc.. put down the pipe HAHA.

they are all accessories from the factory
just a gimmick to sell the car
Mine has an electric sunroof.. i know it comes on some ehs but not all and some egs..
All "VTi" model had the electric MOON-roof on both hatch and sedan..
no si/gl had rear speakers. not sure about non se gli but my mates had em.:confused:

pic of the clocks ? that is bizzarre ! FYi rear speakers were a common option on all models.
my SE has rear speakers, air-bag. ( and it does feel warm and comfy :D )
not sure about the CD player as its after market.
but it came with the Clear Bonnet Protecter no sure if thats special.
HAHAH it's *special* haha.. I actually was next to an EG/EH sedan at the lights on the weekend and I noticed it had headlight protectors and a bonnet protector with the "SE Special Edition" logo ptrinted on them.. so thaere's your annswwer.. just those plus floormats probably..
As I mentioned earlier, Airbags were only on MY95 civics and this had nothing to do with the SE model apart from trh co-incidence that the MY95 model included the SE version.. so by default it would have the Drivers SRS.

the only stand out special edition civic that gets my interest is the EK Jordan Edition - i love that car because it has my name in it lol
basically an EK4 with yellow type-r trim
i think theres an indy special as well ... but not sure what that was about
http://www.civicjordan.co.uk/images/owners_cars/6.gif
i would still feel better if my car was a 'special edition' lol
like the peter solberg edition WRX - it has a signed plate and a different shift knob THATS IT
but the wrp10 WRX has STI running gear and ultra rare Rays wheels ... so meh
