How much does the 2016 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 2.07% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,584 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of cars to compare.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Honda Civic earns a 4.86/5 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, impressive fuel economy, stylish design, and high safety ratings. That lines up well with the Civic’s role as a compact car that feels more polished and distinctive than the usual small-car formula, while still staying practical for everyday use.

With 29.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.86/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback repeatedly points to reliability, and the expert summary reinforces the Civic’s thrift-and-dependability reputation. The driving impression also supports that theme, with the car described as composed, efficient, and easy to live with over time.

Honda Sensing adds a useful layer of driver assistance, and the package is available on every sedan trim, which helps make long-term ownership feel less bare-bones. For used buyers, the main risk is less about the model’s core dependability and more about finding a well-kept example with a clean history and properly functioning electronics.

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

At 46% 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 you’re comparing multiple listings at similar prices. Focus on overall condition, prior damage, and whether the car’s features and electronics work as intended. Because this model can be found in a wide price band, a clean, well-maintained example is worth more than a cheaper car with unresolved issues.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The sedan lineup spans LX, EX, EX-T, EX-L, and Touring, and the higher trims add more upscale equipment and a more premium feel. The base trim is the most stripped-down choice, so you should compare comfort and convenience features carefully if you want the best value.
• Powertrain: The lineup uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder on the lower trims and a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder on the higher trims. The CVT is standard on most versions, while the base LX is the only trim with a 6-speed manual.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes forward-collision alert, auto braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. It’s standard on every sedan trim, while the coupe gets it only on the Touring.
• Infotainment: The system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a customizable interface, along with Garmin navigation and a digital instrument panel on the Touring. The tech is feature-rich, but some settings are buried deeper than you might expect.
• 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 gives you the basics with the 2.0-liter engine and the manual transmission. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Civic, but you should expect the fewest amenities.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday comfort while moving you into the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. It’s the sweet spot if you want a stronger mix of efficiency, refinement, and equipment.
• EX-T: This trim is for you if you want the turbo engine and a more upscale feature set without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It’s a good middle ground if you care about performance feel and added convenience.
• EX-L: This is the better pick if you want a more premium cabin and more comfort-oriented equipment. It suits shoppers who plan to keep the car longer and want the Civic to feel a little more upscale every day.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the richest feature content and the most polished presentation. Choose it if you want the nicest Civic experience and don’t mind paying for it.

Honda Sensing is standard on every sedan trim, which makes even lower trims appealing from a safety standpoint.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,584 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.07% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 46.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,344, 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 $13,924 sits slightly below last year's $14,219.

That decline suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now if you plan to hold the car for a while. For a future seller, the softer pricing means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and history rather than on broad market appreciation.

The Civic’s strong owner satisfaction helps support demand, especially among shoppers who value reliability, fuel economy, and a polished driving experience. Well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.86/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic safe?

The 2016 Civic sedan earns five-star ratings from NHTSA for frontal crash, side crash, and rollover risk, and the Civic sedan and coupe were named a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS.

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

Honda Sensing includes forward-collision alert, auto braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. That package is standard on every sedan trim, while the coupe gets it only on the Touring.

The main caveat is that the best safety tech is not equally spread across every body style, so you should verify whether the specific car you’re considering has the driver-assistance package you want.

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:

• 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 46% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.07% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.86/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The all-new redesign brings a more refined cabin, stronger styling, and a more polished overall feel.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,240, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,924 average.
• It emphasizes reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value in a straightforward daily driver package.

The bottom line: If you want the more modern, better-finished Civic and can stretch to the current market, the 2016 is the stronger all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front and you’re comfortable with a simpler, more value-focused car, the 2015 is the better budget alternative.
