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.

There are 1,755 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $10,577.48, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Honda Civic earns a 4.75/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, value for money, and smooth driving. The overview also frames it as a refined, capable sedan that feels more sophisticated than its price suggests, which fits buyers who want a well-rounded daily driver rather than a bare-bones commuter. Even with some complaints about comfort and tech, the market still shows 28.2% of listings as good or great deals, which helps keep the value case strong.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback repeatedly points to reliability, and the expert review reinforces that with language about trouble-free ownership and low expected costs over time. The performance notes also describe the drivetrain as refined and unobtrusive, which supports the sense that the car is easy to live with day to day. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about inherent durability and more about finding a well-kept example with a clean history and consistent maintenance.

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

At 48% 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 higher mileage or visible wear. Focus on condition details that matter most in a used compact sedan: interior wear, electronics behavior, and signs of past bodywork or poor repairs. If a listing looks unusually cheap, make sure the price reflects the car’s actual condition rather than hidden issues.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, EX, EX-L, Si, HF, Hybrid, and Natural Gas. The LX is the most basic, 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, making it the best-value upgrade if you want more comfort and convenience.
• Powertrain: The main engine is a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with 143 hp and 129 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT that is tuned to feel natural and unobtrusive. It is described as refined and adequate, with fuel economy rated at 30 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined.
• Safety package: Standard safety equipment includes an expanded-view driver’s side mirror, a reversing camera, and SmartVent front side-impact airbags. The Civic EX and higher trim levels add LaneWatch, while the Hybrid gets Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. The Forward Collision Warning system is not available on other trims.
• Infotainment: Most models get a 7-inch touchscreen display, and the LX includes Bluetooth connectivity, music streaming, text messaging support, a USB port, and Pandora Internet radio. The EX adds HondaLink smartphone pairing and services, Siri Eyes Free support, and the larger display.
• Fuel efficiency: The 1.8-liter CVT powertrain is rated at 30 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. The review also notes an observed average of 31.9 mpg over 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 entry point, and it gives you the core Civic experience with Bluetooth connectivity, music streaming, text messaging support, a USB port, and Pandora Internet radio. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but you give up the convenience and comfort upgrades found higher up.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it 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. If you want the strongest mix of features and price, this is the trim to target.
• EX-L: This is the pick if you want a more upscale feel, since it adds leather seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, foglights, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. It suits you best if comfort matters more than keeping the purchase price as low as possible.
• Si: This is the performance-oriented choice, with a revised suspension, slight increases in horsepower and torque, and larger 18-inch wheels. It is the right fit if you want the sportiest Civic in the lineup rather than the most efficient or comfort-focused one.
• HF: This trim is aimed at fuel-conscious buyers, and it belongs on your shortlist if efficiency matters more than extra equipment.
• Hybrid: This is the efficiency-focused trim with the added safety advantage of Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. It is the one to consider if you want the most advanced safety content in the lineup.
• Natural Gas: This version adds a leather interior and navigation, making it a niche choice for shoppers who specifically want that powertrain and its related equipment.

The Hybrid’s Forward Collision Warning is standard there only, while Lane Departure Warning is also limited to the Hybrid.

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

The market looks moderate and selective, so you have room to shop, but the better examples still deserve quick action.

• Deal availability: 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,755 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 48.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,577.48, 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 $11,260 sits slightly above last year's $11,233.

That small increase suggests the Civic is holding value rather than sliding sharply, which is a good sign if you plan to sell later. Stable pricing also points to steady demand from used-car shoppers who want a dependable compact sedan with strong efficiency and a good reputation. If you keep the car in clean condition and maintain it well, you should have a better chance of attracting buyers when it is time to move on.

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 rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

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

The Civic’s standard safety equipment includes an expanded-view driver’s side mirror, a reversing camera, and SmartVent front side-impact airbags. Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure is also part of the safety story, and the Civic EX and higher trims add LaneWatch. The Hybrid is the standout for safety tech because it gets Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning, while those features are not available on other trims. The main caveat is that the Hybrid’s extra driver-assistance features are not shared across the rest of 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:

• 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 48% 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 adds more refined tech and a more capable feel than its price suggests.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,183, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $11,260 average.
• It broadens the appeal with a straightforward, well-rounded small-car package.

The bottom line: Choose the 2014 if you want the better value play and are comfortable shopping carefully for condition and history. If you can stretch your budget and want a slightly newer alternative, the 2015 is the cleaner next step, but the 2014 remains the smarter pick for price-sensitive buyers who want strong satisfaction and solid equipment.
