How much does the 2016 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 2,700 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Honda Civic earns a 4.9/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Safety. Owners consistently praise its smooth drive, reliability, and impressive fuel economy, while the overview highlights a more polished, modern feel than older Civics. If you want a compact car that balances everyday usability with a more upscale presentation, this year fits that brief well. 31.3% of listings are marked as good or great deals, so there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. Reviewers specifically call out its reliability, and the broader feedback also points to a smooth drive and impressive fuel economy, which usually go hand in hand with low-stress ownership. The test-drive summary reinforces that this Civic keeps the model’s thrift and dependability intact, and the performance notes describe it as a car that feels composed and easy to live with. If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is less about the car’s core character and more about finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by heavy use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Honda Civic?

At 45.8% 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 careful pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in a collision. Focus on body alignment, panel fit, tire wear, and signs of repair quality, since those can reveal whether a past incident was handled well. It’s also smart to confirm that the car’s features and condition match the trim level you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The sedan lineup ranges from LX to Touring, and the higher trims add more upscale equipment and a more premium feel. The Touring trim stands out with chrome accents, polished two-tone 17-inch wheels, full LED lighting, and a more refined cabin presentation, while the base trim is more basic by comparison.
• Powertrain: The standard engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower, and higher trims add a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 174 horsepower. A 6-speed manual is limited to the base LX, while the other trims use a CVT.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes forward-collision alert, auto braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. It’s available on every sedan trim, though on the coupe it’s limited to the Touring.
• Infotainment: The system includes Android-based infotainment, Garmin navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and a customizable digital instrument panel on the Touring.
• Fuel efficiency: The CVT-equipped models are rated at 31 mpg city and 42 highway, while the manual LX gets 27/40.

Which 2016 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2016 Honda Civic is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, EX, EX-T, EX-L, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it’s the only trim with the 6-speed manual. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Civic and don’t mind a simpler feature set.
• EX: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it adds more comfort and convenience without pushing you all the way to the top of the range. It’s the trim to target if you want a well-rounded Civic rather than the cheapest one.
• EX-T: This trim brings the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, so it’s the pick if you want more power while staying below the luxury-oriented upper trims.
• EX-L: This is the better choice if you want a more upscale feel and more premium equipment, but don’t need the full top-trim treatment.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the most premium look and the richest feature set. Choose it if you want the nicest Civic experience and are willing to pay for it.

Honda Sensing is available on every sedan trim, so you don’t have to move to the top of the lineup to get the full safety package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Honda Civic?

This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,700 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 45.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,327, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $13,867 sits slightly above last year's $13,747.

That small increase suggests the Civic has held its value well rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For a future seller, that kind of stability is helpful because it points to steady buyer interest and a market that isn’t being dragged down by oversupply. The Civic’s strong reputation for reliability, fuel economy, and everyday usability should continue to support demand when you decide to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic safe?

The 2016 Honda Civic earns Top Safety Pick+ recognition from the IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA for frontal crash, side crash, and rollover risk.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is the named driver-assistance suite, and it includes forward-collision alert, auto braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. It’s available on every sedan trim, though on the coupe it’s limited to the Touring. The backup camera also offers three views, including a top view and an extra-wide shot. The main caveat is that these systems are helpful, but they still require your attention and shouldn’t be treated as a substitute for driving.

Should I buy a 2016 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 45.8% 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 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 stands out for its more polished design, stronger refinement, and upscale feel.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,151, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,867 average.
• It delivers reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value in a straightforward package.

The bottom line: If you want the more modern, more refined Civic and can stretch to the current market, the 2016 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money and you’re comfortable with a simpler, more basic version of the Civic formula, the 2015 is the value play.

How does the 2016 Honda Civic compare to the 2016 Toyota Corolla?

Our experts score the 2016 Honda Civic 8/10 and the 2016 Toyota Corolla 7.5/10. The Civic is the more polished and engaging choice, with stronger performance, better fuel economy, and a more upscale feel. The Corolla is cheaper on average and has a slightly higher share of good and great deals, but it trails the Civic in refinement and overall appeal.
