How much does the 2014 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 1.10% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,845 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare on price and condition.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic a good car?

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

Owners repeatedly praise its reliability, value for money, and smooth driving feel. The overview also frames it as a refined, capable compact sedan with broad everyday appeal, especially if you want something that feels more polished than its price suggests. That combination makes it a strong fit if you want a commuter-friendly car that still feels well put together.

31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there’s meaningful shopping opportunity if you compare carefully.

Is the 2014 Honda Civic reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to reliability, value, and a trouble-free ownership experience, while expert commentary describes it as a good bet for trouble-free ownership with low expected costs over time. The powertrain is also described as refined and unobtrusive, which supports the sense that the car is built to be easy to live with. Honda’s cost-effectiveness notes also point to low expected ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about mechanical drama and more about finding a well-kept example that has been maintained consistently.

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

At 47.5% 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 prior collision or shows uneven wear. Focus on body condition, interior wear, and signs that the car’s tech and safety features still work as intended. Because this model can be found in a wide range of trims and equipment levels, it’s worth confirming that the specific car has the features you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, EX, EX-L, Si, HF, Hybrid, and Natural Gas. 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, a 7-inch display, upgraded audio, and HondaLink. The EX-L adds leather seats, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, heated mirrors, foglights, and larger wheels, with navigation and additional audio features available. The Natural Gas version gains leather and navigation, while the Si gets a revised suspension and larger wheels.
• 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 helps deliver 30 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. The CVT is tuned to feel natural and unobtrusive, and the car is described as refined rather than quick.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes an expanded-view driver’s side mirror, a reversing camera, and SmartVent front side-impact airbags. LaneWatch is standard on EX and higher trims, while the Hybrid uniquely gets Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. That means lower trims miss some of the more advanced driver-assistance features.
• Infotainment: Most models get a 7-inch touchscreen, and the LX includes Bluetooth connectivity, music streaming, text messaging support, a USB port, and Pandora access. EX models add Smart Entry and HondaLink, while the system also supports Siri Eyes Free. The interface is more advanced than basic, but it may take some getting used to.
• 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. In testing, it averaged 31.9 mpg.

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 play if you want the essentials and a lower entry price. It includes Bluetooth, music streaming, text messaging support, a USB port, and Pandora access, but you give up the nicer convenience and tech upgrades found higher up the range.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a strong mix of comfort and tech: aluminum wheels, automatic climate control, a power sunroof, Smart Entry, push-button start, a 7-inch display, upgraded audio, HondaLink, LaneWatch, and more. It’s the trim that most clearly balances price and equipment.
• EX-L: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel. It adds leather seats, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, heated mirrors, foglights, and larger wheels, with navigation and extra audio features available. It suits you best if comfort matters more than keeping the budget tight.
• Si: This is the performance-oriented choice, with a revised suspension, more power, and larger wheels. It makes sense if you want the sportiest Civic in the lineup rather than the most economical 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 most advanced safety and efficiency choice in the lineup, and it uniquely gets Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. If those features matter to you, this is the trim to target.
• Natural Gas: This is the niche choice for buyers who specifically want the compressed natural gas version, and it gains leather and navigation in its updated form.

The safety package is strongest on the Hybrid, while EX and higher trims add LaneWatch.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,845 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.10% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 47.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,574, 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 $11,140 sits slightly below last year's $11,264.

That mild decline suggests the market has softened a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now if you plan to keep the car for a while. For a future seller, the current pricing trend implies you should expect steady but not rising values in the near term. The Civic’s reputation for reliability and value should help support demand, but condition and mileage will matter a lot when it’s time to resell.

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 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. The LaneWatch system is standard on EX and higher trims, while the Hybrid uniquely gets Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. That means the most advanced driver-assistance features are not broadly spread 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:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 47.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.10% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert summary: It delivers refinement, safety, fuel efficiency, and value without needing a big budget.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,336, the 2015 costs more than the current year's $11,140 average.
• It emphasizes reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value even more directly.

The bottom line: If you want the better bargain, the 2014 is the smarter buy because pricing has eased and owner satisfaction remains strong. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model-year alternative, the 2015 is the cleaner comparison point for shoppers who want a slightly newer Civic with a similar core mission.
