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.

  • Awesome Car for $12500 - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    I got to say what a great little car for the money. You cant go wrong here with the Honda Civic VP, 5 speed. I guess for a 24 year old that car suites me quite nicely. I love the gas milage, the design of the vehicle, and the overall build quality of this vehicle. This is a basic car from point A to B, with nothing but A/C and a AM/FM CD Player. Car rides and drives great! MY GF loves the car! I sold the 2000 Tahoe I had due to the gas prices. I was spending almost a $100 a week in gas for the Tahoe, where as now I only spend about $30.00. This is a perfect car for a young adult, or someone young at heart

    I love driving this car. It is even more satisfying knowing that its good on gas. I get better than rated mileage in this car. I havent even modified it. This car is great for people who enjoy driving and who have needs beyond merely getting there. Its nice to have a spacious small car that still performs and isnt that expensive.

    Mileage started out at 30mpg first tank, 35 Mpg second tank and about 38 mpg currently on third tank. Smooth comfortable ride. Pretty quiet. Plenty of power for everyday use.

  • I love passing gas stations! - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    Since I drive 1000+ miles per week for my job, I bought the Hybrid to give my beloved Xterra a break....as well as to improve my gas mileage from 15 to 50 mpg. Though I still love my Nissan, the Hybrid has been everything that I expected and more. In order to keep it at optimum fuel efficiency, Ive noticed that I need to check the tire pressure and adjust regularly.

    I wasnt expecting to buy a civic. Nor was I expecting to like the new civic! Ive usually bought used cars, but decided to go with a newer one with less features. Dont miss the sunroof or alloy wheels, but love the handling, fuel economy and surprisingly enough the peppiness.

  • honda hybrid in florida - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    Does over 42 mpg in mostly city driving consistently since purchase, by my own calculations - the gas consumption gauge overstates reality by 2-3 mpg. Battery does not charge well in hot weather here in Florida, gas mileage is noticeably better in cool weather.

  • Great Car - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    SO FAR IVE PUT 6300 MILES ON MY HCH AND NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING SO FAR. MY DRIVE TO WORK IS 25 MILES ONE-WAY WITH A COMBINATION OF HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. IM AVERAGING ABOUT 46 MPG WITH ABOUT A 2 MPG DROP USING THE AC. HONDAS QUALITY AND REALIABILITY IS UNMATCHED!

  • Greatest little car ever - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    I love this vehicle. It wasnt hard for me to decide on this model. I needed an economic car, but with 4 doors (for the kids). It handels really well, and is great on gas. Oh, I love the way it looks also.

  • reliable - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    I find the honda civic is reliable, but the noise is terrible while driving, I dont get the gas mileage, the visualble is horrible. meaning that the beam between the back and front seat you cant see.

  • !st Honda - 2004 Honda Civic
    By -

    Having owned my Hybrid for 14 days the fuel milage is fantastic. I just fueled up today, 8 gallons in driving 312 miles. I expect the fuel milage to increase over the next few hundred miles.Having driven Cadillacs since 1974, current owner of a 2002 Escalade, Im not use to this kind of fuel economy.
