Overview & Reviews

Since its launch in 1973, the Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars sold in America. Its success can be attributed in large part to its consistently high level of quality inside and out and its long-standing reputation for reliability and low running costs. Impressive fuel economy and engaging performance have also played a role in making the Civic a top choice for many Americans.

The competition has largely caught up with Honda, though, and there are now many excellent small cars vying for your attention. Still, we continue to recommend the Civic due to its ergonomic interior layout, wide range of models and high resale value. For small-car shoppers in search of a solid used vehicle, the Honda Civic is certainly a smart choice, as its long production run and many variants make it easy to find what you want.

  Love my Honda - 2017 Honda Civic
  By Megan Weatherford - December 14 - 12:10 pm

  Great value for the luxury and reliability. Heated seats and moon roof are just a couple of things that take this car the the next level. Great car for the value.

  rvs honda - 2006 Honda Civic

  The car is very comfortable in the front. Although a person taller than 5 feet does not feel comfortable sitting in the back especially on the sides. I dont drive quick around corners but the turns feel smooth and tight and without hesitation. Sometimes I find myself driving over the limit on the freeway because I cant feel Im going that fast. When I first purchased the car, I noticed several people looking and some even asked what kind of car I was driving.

  Great Car - 2004 Honda Civic
  By First Honda - December 14 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car 6 weeks and I am very pleased with it. The ride and handling are great and the performance is more than adequate for both city and highway driving. Overall the car has a very substantial feel to it. Honda did a good with the styling for 2004 and with the upgrades to the LX it seems the best buy unless you absolutely have to have all the bells and whistles. I would recommend this car very highly

  Good but not up to Honda standards - 2002 Honda Civic
  By jim4nier - December 13 - 11:26 pm

  Very good vehicle over all. We were disappointed in a few things and annoyed at a few others. Weve owned other Hondas before and this one isnt up to Honda standards.

  SurvivorOfTheCivic - 2002 Honda Civic
  By ISurvivedTheCivic - December 13 - 12:43 am

  My Civic had been pretty good form the most part. This is the 2nd Civic Ive owned after totalling my first in a rear-end collision. I still feel like I got a little less car for a little more money. I enjoy all the amenities that come standard on the EX model. The A/C is a freezer, heater is a sweat box, and it very manuverable. The 2 door model does not comfortably seat 4 at all. I am a college student and sometimes space is a need. The gas mileage is great. I feel like the quality of my first Civic, which was a 97, was must better than that of my current 02 model.

  good ole reliable - 1997 Honda Civic
  By Eric - December 12 - 6:22 pm

  What can I say about the civic. Light, nimble, with a quick feel. The only expenses other than fluids, filters, batteries, and tires was the timing belt at 90,000. The car runs effortlessly and still gets 37mpg combined. Honda did a great job making a very economical car sporty and fun. The only problem with mine is a slow passenger side window motor. Now the 2006 civic looks to do it all over again. Get in line to get the Si.
