How much does the 2014 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

With 1,779 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Honda Civic earns 4.75/5 from owners and 8.17/10 from expert testing. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, value for money, and smooth driving feel, while the expert review highlights refinement, capability, and strong everyday usability. The Civic is framed as a safe, reliable, fuel-efficient, technologically advanced, and even luxurious sedan without pushing far beyond a mainstream budget, which makes it especially appealing if you want a polished commuter rather than a bare-bones compact. 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. Review feedback repeatedly points to reliability, trouble-free ownership, and strong value, while the expert evaluation says the Civic is a good bet for trouble-free ownership with low expected costs over time.

The driving impressions also support that dependability theme: the car is described as refined, capable, and easy to live with, with a powertrain and chassis that feel unobtrusive in daily use. If you buy used, your main long-term risk is less about the Civic’s basic durability and more about finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t accumulated hidden wear.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Honda Civic?

At 48.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in a collision or shows uneven wear. Focus on body condition, interior condition, and how well the technology and safety features work, since those are the areas most likely to affect your ownership experience. If you are comparing multiple listings, give extra weight to cars with clean records and consistent maintenance.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the simplest version, while the EX adds aluminum wheels, automatic climate control, a power sunroof, two USB ports, a security system, automatic headlights, LaneWatch, Smart Entry with push-button ignition, a 7-inch display screen, upgraded audio, and HondaLink connectivity and services. The EX-L adds leather seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, foglights, and 17-inch aluminum wheels, with navigation and additional audio features available on top of that.
• Powertrain: Most 2014 Civics use a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine with a CVT. It is tuned for refinement rather than excitement, and the CVT is described as unobtrusive and natural-feeling in daily driving.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment includes an expanded-view driver’s side mirror, a reversing camera, and SmartVent front side-impact airbags. LaneWatch is standard on the EX and higher trims, while Forward Collision Warning is limited to the Hybrid and Lane Departure Warning is also only on the Hybrid.
• Infotainment: Most models get a 7-inch touchscreen, and the system supports HondaLink, Siri Eyes Free, Bluetooth connectivity, music streaming, text messaging support, a USB port, and Pandora Internet radio. The EX and higher trims add the more advanced display and connected features.
• Fuel efficiency: The Civic sedan with the 1.8-liter engine and CVT is rated at 30 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. The expert review also notes an average of 31.9 mpg during a week of driving.

Which 2014 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2014 Honda Civic is offered in 7 trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Si, HF, Hybrid, and Natural Gas.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the value-focused starting point, and it already gives you the core Civic experience with Bluetooth connectivity, music streaming, text messaging support, a USB port, and Pandora Internet radio. If you want the lowest entry price and can live without the nicer convenience and tech upgrades, this is the trim to target.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the biggest everyday upgrades without jumping too far in price. You get aluminum wheels, automatic climate control, a power sunroof, Smart Entry with push-button ignition, LaneWatch, a 7-inch display screen, upgraded audio, and HondaLink connectivity and services.
• EX-L: Choose this if you want a more upscale cabin and more comfort features. It adds leather seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, foglights, and 17-inch aluminum wheels, making it the right pick if you care more about comfort and finish than bargain pricing.
• Si: This is the performance-oriented choice, with a revised suspension, more horsepower and torque, and larger 18-inch wheels. It suits you if you want the sportiest Civic in the lineup rather than the most efficient or most luxurious one.
• HF: This trim is aimed at efficiency-focused buyers who want a fuel-saving Civic without moving into the Hybrid or Natural Gas versions.
• Hybrid: This is the trim to consider if you want the strongest safety and efficiency mix, since it is the only one called out with Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning.
• Natural Gas: This is the niche choice for buyers who specifically want the compressed natural gas version, and it also gains a leather interior and navigation in this model year.

The EX is the best all-around pick for most used buyers, while the Hybrid stands out if safety tech is your top priority.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Honda Civic?

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s-market discount.

• Deal availability: 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,779 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 48.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,578, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $11,254 sits slightly above last year's $11,227.

That small increase suggests the Civic’s used-market value has remained stable rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For a future seller, that kind of pricing pattern is helpful because it points to steady demand and a predictable resale environment. The model’s reputation for reliability and value should continue to support buyer interest when it is time for you to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic safe?

The 2014 Honda Civic earns a five-star overall crash-test rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes an expanded-view driver’s side mirror, a reversing camera, and SmartVent front side-impact airbags. Honda’s LaneWatch system is standard on the EX and higher trims, while Forward Collision Warning is limited to the Hybrid and Lane Departure Warning is also only available on the Hybrid. That trim-level gap matters if you want the most advanced driver-assistance features, because the strongest safety tech is not spread evenly across the lineup.

Should I buy a 2014 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 28.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 48.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 brings a refined cabin, strong fuel economy, and a broad tech upgrade over the prior year.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,216, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $11,254 average.
• It emphasizes reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value even more directly.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2014 is the smarter starting point because pricing is stable and inventory is available. If you are willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2015 is the cleaner alternative for buyers who want a slightly more modern path.
