Yes only the Si is a DOHC the rest are still single cams. Hell I think all were sohc until the 99-00 Si even the old Si was a sohc.

All civics are basically the same (minus dohc Si). True the EX and HX have VTEC but it doesnt mean that they are that much faster than those that are the vtec have nots. If you can get a civic of any year its going to be fine. If later on you decide that you want it to go faster just swap the motor from something thats faster say from an Si or an Integra...Hell some even take Prelude engines and drop em in...but I think thats a little extreme...plus its too much work to get it in . If you can find a Civic 92-00 that even has 1 jillion miles on it fine. Chances are it will still run long enough for you to get a new engine that has more power...plus you'd get the car for next to nothing.

If you want specs check out www.JDMfan.com they have specs for most if not all Civics...or they did the last time I checked (that was a while ago).

(Now someone is supposed to come in and say "Dont buy a car that has that many miles, even if you are doing a swap" )
