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.

  Very happy owner - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Poyre - September 1 - 10:00 am

  I have owned this car for about 15 months. The only problems I have had are that my daughter gets it dirty, my wife keeps torquing her foot and taking off the rubber brake pedal pad, and my battery for remote entry wore out. It runs like a dream, the shifting is smooth and easy, and it has a well-built feeling. The doors shut well, all the movable parts have a smooth firm action. This was the very first brand new car I ever purchased and other than my sales rep not knowing any more about the car then I did, the whole experience was a pleasure.

  2nd Honda, no stopping in sight - 2004 Honda Civic
  By flwr6pwr9 - September 1 - 10:00 am

  My first Honda was a 5speed CRX, which I bought used and owned for 12 years. Had I not had to stop driving stick shift Id still be driving it. Unfortunately, I had to give up a lifetime of little sports cars and grinding gears, so I found the next best thing--the CIVIC EX Coupe. What a fantastic car. I still havent used all of the bells and whistles, but when it came down to having a car with bells and whistles or a barebones Accord, Id pick the former. I dont know that Ill ever own a car other than a Honda again!

  Special and Fun - 2004 Honda Civic
  By GaryJTN - August 9 - 3:56 pm

  I traded an 02 Si for this 04 and I love the larger wheels and the sharper design of the headlights and taillights. Handling, cornering are fantastic. Engine noise. What engine noise? The engine loves to rev so even city driving is fun.

  What a great car - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Rich JC - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I drive more than 150 miles a day and this car is quiet smooth and comfortable. On top of that, I get between 45 and 50 miles per gallon and more than half of the trip is at 70 MPH. The car now has over 9,000 miles on it and so far I have had no unscheduled maintenance and no failures. Ive driven into the mountains, out to the desert, and all over town and I look forward to my daily drive.

  Honda Civic Sedan EX - 2004 Honda Civic
  By VictorP - July 31 - 2:00 am

  I have been pleasantly surprized by this honda civic sedan ex, its acceleration has been better than I thought it would be and milage is better than 32mpg. It feels good inside and is not as noisy as some econo cars that I test drove. Overall better than a 30+mpg car should feel. I am very pleased.

  Trip to Dullsville - 2004 Honda Civic
  By aca2983 - July 26 - 2:00 am

  My other half bought one of these, and while I have owned other Hondas too, I find newer Hondas to be terribly boring and uninspiring than they were 10 or 15 yrs ago. The Civic LX/auto engine is rather buzzy and tends to downshift a lot. Of course the MPG is great. Handling and steering feel are what I HATE about this car. The steering is not precise, and the suspension feels floaty to me, with lots of body lean. Feels like a 20 yr old Buick Century. Unimpressive braking too. If you want an appliance with the soul of a refrigerator on wheels, buy this. If you want a little more personality and spirited driving fun, shop elsewhere.

  silverhonda - 2004 Honda Civic
  By silverhonda04 - July 21 - 10:00 am

  this is my second honda civic,my first was `95 civic dx which was wonderful.these cars are very reliable.Glad to see american honda added more features.my `95 didn`t have a/c, radio,no luxury items at all.they are good cars,i have always liked the appearance of the honda but would have purchase another make if i could not afforded an EX model because these cars cost just as much or more than others cars that are just as good.i received a very good deal on this one.glad i did`nt have to add features this time
