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.

  Solid Economy - 2004 Honda Civic
  By C. R. Hausman - July 12 - 10:00 am

  Although my Civic Hybrid does not get quite to mileage advertised, it consistently gives me mileage in the 40s and in the high 40s in highway driving. It is solid and has an excellent safety rating--which is one reason I chose it over the Toyota Prius. Its design is not pretentious, which I prefer.

  Laugh at the Gas Stations - 2004 Honda Civic
  By LoisAnn - July 12 - 10:00 am

  As we pass the gas stations we laugh. Our Honda Hybrid gets 45 MPG and rides like a dream. It is fun to drive also. We really get a kick out of listening to the engine stop at stop lights. If you have a hybrid you know what I mean. Tee Hee

  Good Civic - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Big Al - July 6 - 10:15 pm

  Great ride and fun to drive! Only complaint is that the gas tank filler cover wont open! You are supposed to open it by pushing down on the lever (or button) but it doesnt open. Well have to have that checked out.

  Honda All the Way - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Wally - June 14 - 11:53 am

  I have owned my 04 EX 4 door for four years now and I cant say enough about the kind of car Honda builds. All I have done is regular maintenance and tires. Averaging 32 mpg and the car is still worth $10K on trade. What a car, my wife has a C-RV and my next car will be an Accord. HONDA ALL THE WAY!!!

  great car, helpful hints to driving it - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Matt Winger - June 11 - 10:00 am

  Great car. Best way to get the most mileage is to coast when you can, and on long stretches to get yourself to your speed and then give enough gas to maintain the speed. At one I was getting 50 miles per gallon doing this. It also helps with recharging the battery. Coasting down hills or approaching red lights that might go green soon helps with gas mileage and the battery.

  Honda Hybrid No faults - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Charles - June 4 - 10:00 am

  We bought it in December, took off for Phoenix, Albuquerque, no faults, ran great, Cruise control is awesome, best process control system ive ever seen in an auto. The A/C is great. The economy mode and cruise control with A/C set on 70 degrees pulled up the 8000 ft mountain going into San Diego CA with no overheating, passing everybody else with A/C off and overheating still. Milage varied on 3000 mile trip from 33 to 39 mpg depending on speed and wind direction. It takes no thought to drive, just push the gas pedal. Stable and sure-footed in rain and wind, even with sligh

  Not my first Honda, and not my last.... - 2004 Honda Civic
  By cpc - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Spunky and sporty, and though lacking a "V8", the 5-on-the-floor work ideally for this 4 cylinder. Pressing 40 highway MPG, and about 35 city with emphasis on getting into 5th gear as soon as I hit about 35mph. Very smooth at all speeds. I dont mind having to manually roll down the windows ! Noise level better-than-average. Paid about 13,250 OTD. Very capable CD/AM/FM radio standard - seems there is some slightly noticeable reception fading which may be antenna or reception caused (I DO NOT live in a remote area). Most people wouldnt notice it. Im upgrading to an Alpine CDA-9820XM. Too new to rate reliability
