This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engines, roomy interior, reputation for durability and quality, impressive crash test scores.
Cons:
  • Top-of-the-line models are pricey, antilock brakes not available on DX or LX.

  • I LOVE THIS CAR! - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    The 2004 Honda Civic EX couple has been my stalwart baby car, the first I ever purchased on my own. Shes dependable, very economical and never had a problem with her. I have maintained her exactly according to the recommendations in the owners manual and she performs like a champ day after day. Whether in the city or on a road trip, shes a dream. I highly recommend this car. The only reason I even consider moving on (to another Honda, of course) is because its a two-door coupe and my family is expanding. This car is a single person car and super fun to drive!

  • You Should Get One, Too. - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    An excellent car, except when the AUTO ENGINE stops (AUTO STOP), the car stalls momentarily, which causes a confusion. But if you are driving a long distance, the vehicle is very comfortable and environmentally sound. I love my Hybrid. I wish more dealers did advertise Hybrid cars on TV. Unfortunately, I rarely see their ads pertaining to Hybrid cars.

  • Gas Champion - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    this miracle of creation is great. Superb gas mileage, stealthy silent ride both in traffic and at stops. Silky smooth transmission. Great sound system, good performace and great acceleration for a small low horse power car. The quality of the car is A+ and everyone knows Hondas make superior cars. Most mechanics have told me they make the best transmissions unlike most GM and american cars.

  • Worth Every Penny - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    Paid $100 under Edumunds invoice, and it was worth every cent. You can tell this car was made by people who take pride in their work--not some typical union shop like Dodge who doesnt give 2 hoots about quality. The drivers side arm rest is awkward, and the stereo is a bit hard to see, but awesome car, fun to drive. Car insurance was reasonable too. You will not be disappointed.

  • Fun Spunky Car - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    The speedometer display is easy to read day or night. I like the spunky engine and smooth quiet ride. The gas mileage is great! In one week I drove over 200 miles with more than 1/4 tank of gas left. The drivers seat is adjustable enough for me to reach the pedals and look over the dash (Im 5). My 63" husband is able to drive this car comfortably. Adults fit in the back with plenty of knee room.The a/c, defroster, heat and audio controls are easy to reach and operate. The a/c cools the whole car. The defroster automatically turns off. A standard feature is cruise control. I strongly recommend this car for performance, comfort, size and quality.

  • Fun and Functional! - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    Commuting 150 miles each day, I drive in both heavy traffic and winding country roads. The Civic makes it all a joy! The transmission is very smooth, the interior is very comfortable and quiet, and the mileage is as stated on the sticker! The clutch is soft and easily held down in traffic, and the 5-speed makes country roads a blast to drive! Plenty of power, and nice ammenities for a small car. On weekends, I dont have to run errands anymore because my friends run them for me, just to drive the car!!!

    Car packages your body in a comfortable and safe position. Very good visibility from all angles of the driver position. Excellent fuel economy. Quiet ride except on roughest roads. Climate control is at your fingertips. Radio/CD player provides good quality sound
