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.

  A little disappointed - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Doug - August 17 - 10:48 am

  I love the car, the design, comfort and reliability, but am only getting between 38 - 43 MPG. Not bad, but was expecting a lot better. I have tried to drive conservatively, but still got less than 43 in city driving. Highway seems to do better, but most of my driving is in traffic. So a little disappointed in the fuel efficiency, but overall I am enjoying the car.

  great car....especially for the money - 2004 Honda Civic
  By tpaschall - August 17 - 10:00 am

  We bought this car a little over a month ago, so obviously we dont have much to say about reliability. But, this is a great car. First of all, its beautiful (we got it in the green). Also, it has a very smooth ride, especially for a smaller engine. It accelerates very well, has an amazing turning radius, and gets amazing gas mileage. I LOVE the inside of it, very nice and sleek and uncluttered.

  Honda owner for life! - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Lynda Alsup - August 12 - 4:27 pm

  Mine is a Honda Civic EX - 5speed manual. I drive 85% highway and average 33mpg. Previous car was a V6 2000 GrandAM (automatic) and I am VERY impressed with the pick up & acceleration onto the highway with my Civic. I call it my poor mans BMW but thats a compliment because it has the classic exterior styling of a BMW without the outrageous price tag. Ive always been a GM buyer - especially Pontiac but after owning a Civic - Im Honda forever!

  I love this car. It is fun to drive and the mileage is better the futher you drive it. Excellent manufactures assistance and concern. Dealer satifaction is high. Very nice people. I bought the car for gas mileage around town and it has satisfied me.

  2004 Civic LX 4 door - 2004 Honda Civic
  By mrgoodwrench - July 27 - 10:00 am

  This is my 6th Honda and I have not been disappointed in any of them. I traded a CRV for the 2004 Civic and dont regret it. The ride and drive is great. The mileage looks great, cant seem to empty the tank. If you can do without the sun roof and alloy wheels this seems the best buy. Very solid and a huge amount of room compared to the previous version. Nice car.

  I love my Civic Hybrid - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Nrthendgal - July 21 - 2:00 am

  My hybrid is fun to drive, gets great gas mileage, and has all the comforts of a Honda Civic EX. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking a comfortable sedan, with excellent pickup and is good for the environment. Dont forget, you get a $2,000 cash back from the IRS for the first year you own the vehicle. Also, if you live in Virginia, you can ride the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes with no additional passengers until July 2006. It makes getting to work a breeze.

  This car is a tank. - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Rachel Day - July 15 - 11:52 pm

  This is the most reliable little car! I love my Honda Civic--granted it isnt the quietest ride and definitely has to gather itself before accelerating on the freeway on ramp, BUT Ive had this car for many years and now at a little over 150K miles it still is the most reliable car Ive owned! Just have to check the oil every 1500 miles and its good to keep on going. They just dont make them like this one anymore! If you need a basic, simple car this is a great choice!

  MPG and Styling - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Mike-in-DC - July 15 - 2:00 am

  I have had the car since 12/03 and am averaging 36.3 mpg per tank. I see that many of you tell of your 40+ MPG tanks and I am wondering why mine is not performing anywhere near that. Whats the deal??? Any suggestions? As for the styling, I wanted the dealer to install fog lights and a rear deck spoiler (as offered as an option in the non-hybrid Civics) but they could not do it per instruction from Honda. I purchased the spoiler myself from the dealership and installed it myself - and it looks GREAT! I will soon be looking for other Honda wheels to replace the standard wheels.

  This a Great Little Car! - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Robert Clarke - July 10 - 10:43 pm

  This is my 3rd Honda and so far it is the best. Fast, great seats and the shifter is perfect. 2000 miles so far and I get 33 mpg per tank. Braking is awesome and I need it because I drive it fast!
