Overview & Reviews

In typical Honda fashion, the Civic receives a number of minor changes this year in order to keep it fresh. For the coupe and sedan, there's new exterior styling, including restyling for the front and rear bumpers, hood, headlights and grille. Inside, the audio speakers have been upgraded, extra sound deadening material has been added and floor mats are now standard in the LX and EX. The LX trim has slightly bigger wheels this year (15 inches) and standard keyless entry. A new value package contains air conditioning, a CD player and a new center console. For the Si hatchback, there are new headlight and taillight designs, larger 16-inch wheels and flashier interior trim. Like the regular sedan, the Civic Hybrid has updated styling, standard floor mats and improved speakers. It also has a new interior console with an armrest, adjustable rear headrests and a manual driver-seat height adjuster. Finally, all 2004 Honda Civic sedans and coupes have a new seatbelt reminder system.

• Fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engines, roomy interior, reputation for durability and quality, impressive crash test scores.

• Top-of-the-line models are pricey, antilock brakes not available on DX or LX.

  Its a blast! - 2004 Honda Civic
  By DaBomb - May 17 - 1:16 pm

  Used to own a 91 Accord (with 250K on odometer at the time it was totaled). Hondas have come a long way since then. At first I thought Id stepped down from an Accord to get into the Civic, but now Im totally satisfied, especially with the wonderful gas mileage this vehicle offers. Furthermore, a smaller car is easier to park! Im not totally in love with this vehicle though, however I am, like I said, very satisfied with the purchase. And, as a repeat Honda owner, I have no doubt about its exceptional reliability. Yet, needs work on the exterior durability. Dings and scratches easily. Its great to know that this car will probably last as long as my former Honda too.

  Hondas are the best - 2004 Honda Civic
  By SCF - May 4 - 10:16 pm

  Purchased in fall of 2003 and now have only 26,000 miles on the car. Super reliable, great gas mileage, supportive and comfortable seats. Whats not to love about this car? We took the car on a trip in southern Colorado on mostly secondary roads with speed limits of 55 to 65 mph and got 43 mpg! Have only had to do oil changes and had one small rattle near the dash that the dealership fixed. No other problems. This car is not a hotrod but set the cruise control at 78 on the interstate and thats where is stays. If you want a car with bank vault solid reliability, great resale value and excellent gas mileage you wont go wrong with a Civic.

  I Like My Hybrid - 2004 Honda Civic
  By dlbuck - April 29 - 8:07 am

  I have the manual trans. If Honda offered the man trans in new hybrid, Id buy one. When I drive at speed limit (55 mph), I ave 55-60 mpg. New hybrid cant approach this. Freeway traveling (60-65 mph) ave is 50 mpg. Headwind kills mpg. Snow tires kills mpg. To me, mpg is more important than getting there early. Two recalls for engine computer stuff. Never any problems. Havent replaced brakes yet. I have them checked at every oil change (3k miles) & so far not worn out. Im getting nervous. Compared to previous vehicle(Jeep Gr Cher, 20mpg) I paid for hybrid August 2003. Honda should offer man trans for Civic hybrid, same as regular Civic.

  Excellent Car, just not for long trip - 2004 Honda Civic
  By babytam - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Its really smooth. It got all the horsepower/torque I need. Really great fuel efficiency (so far, I have 42.3 MPG.) The engine is usually quiet. Especially during stops, when the engine is off. But the engine is really loud on the highway. I cant hear the music (CD/Radio) when I am on the Highway. I was surprised by the fan staying on after I turn off the vehicle. I assume the fan is used to cool off the engine. During long trip (4 hours +), one can feel that the seat cushioning is not very good.

  Da Coupe - 2004 Honda Civic
  By JT - April 16 - 4:39 pm

  This car is a great car from Honda. I have owned two civic coupes and both have been great. The coupe I have now is manual, and suggest folks to get the manual if you like stick and sporty fun. Gas mileage is great also. Overall, a great car for any age. Performance and economy all in one.

  Best Buy - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Iceblue - March 29 - 10:00 am

  I just got my 04 Civic Cp, and I love it. We got the first 04 in our area. The salesman wasnt pushy at all. My Civic has exellent build quality and great looks. And I love the engine. No problems so far but that can be expected form a Honda.The Civic is a true best buy.

  Very good investment. - 2004 Honda Civic
  By RallyeRed - March 24 - 7:27 pm

  Ive had the vehicle for a little over a year. Out of most of my friends, Im the only one with a fuel efficient vehicle and I see how much more money they spend of gas, I can usually fill up for about thirty dollars when it takes them sixty to seventy dollars to fill up. Anyway, its a great car. I think the interior is designed quite well and is also comfortable. Like I said, its a very good investment, especially if youre looking for a more fuel efficient car.

  38 miles per gallon highway - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Lifeworthliving - March 23 - 2:00 am

  I wanted something Sporty and the Honda 2 door 5 speed was nice ,but I had to think about my kids having to crawl in and out of the back seat. I settled for the Honda DX, I get good gas mileage, the stereo CD player sounds great and the cab is big enough for my family of 5. The only con I can think of is that there is a bit of road noise when the radio is not turned on. Another plus is the high resale value, compared to the other cars in its class. If you but from the Tim Smith store on highway 98 in Ft Walton Beach ask for Alex...he is a great salesman and will treat you right.
