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 2,629 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 4.86/5 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, and impressive fuel economy, and they also call out its stylish design and high safety ratings. That lines up with the Civic’s use case as a compact car that feels more polished and distinctive than the typical small-car choice, while still staying practical for everyday driving. Good and great deals account for 32.2% of listings, which suggests you can still find worthwhile examples if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to reliability, smooth driving, and impressive fuel economy, all of which are the kinds of traits that usually matter most when you want a car you can count on. The expert summary also emphasizes thrift and dependability, and the test-drive notes describe the Civic as a well-balanced, easy-to-live-with compact car. Honda Sensing is available on every sedan trim, which adds useful driver-assistance coverage without forcing you into a top trim.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure a specific car has been maintained well and hasn’t been neglected.

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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has any accident history or signs of uneven wear. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, interior wear, and whether the electronics and driver-assistance features work as expected. Because this Civic was offered with a wide spread of equipment, it also pays to confirm that the car you’re looking at has the features you want rather than assuming they’re standard.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The sedan lineup spans LX, EX, EX-T, EX-L, and Touring. The base LX is the simplest version, while higher trims add more upscale touches, and the Touring stands out with chrome accents, polished two-tone 17-inch wheels, full LED lighting, and a cleaner, more premium cabin presentation.
• Powertrain: The base trims use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while higher trims move to a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 174 hp and 162 lb-ft. A 6-speed manual is standard only on the base LX, and all 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, while on the coupe it’s limited to the Touring.
• Infotainment: The system includes an Android-based interface, Garmin navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and a 450-watt 10-speaker stereo. The Touring also gets a customizable digital instrument panel.
• Fuel efficiency: The CVT-equipped models are rated at 31 mpg city and 42 highway, while the manual LX gets 27/40. Over 300 miles, the test vehicle averaged close to 37 mpg.

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 the only trim with the 6-speed manual, so it suits you if you want the simplest Civic with the most direct driving feel and the lowest starting price.
• EX: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it adds a stronger feature mix without pushing you all the way to the top of the range.
• EX-T: Choose this if you want the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and its stronger torque without jumping to the most expensive trims.
• EX-L: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale feel and more comfort-oriented equipment while staying below the Touring.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped Civic, with the most premium appearance and the most advanced presentation, so it makes sense if you want the nicest version and are willing to pay for it.

Honda Sensing is available on every sedan trim, which makes even lower trims easier to recommend from a safety standpoint.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, compare, and wait for the right listing.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,629 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 $13,343, 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 $13,963 sits slightly below last year's $14,099.

That small decline suggests the market has been stable rather than volatile, which is helpful if you plan to resell later. A steady price pattern usually means you’re less likely to see dramatic depreciation swings in the near term. The Civic’s broad appeal also helps support future demand, especially because it combines efficiency, style, and a strong reputation for everyday usability.

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

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, while 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.

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:

• 32.2% 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 4.86/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The all-new Civic takes bold chances in elevating small-car fashion, refinement, and build quality, and it succeeds.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,336, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,963 average.
• It delivers reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value in a straightforward compact package.

The bottom line: If you want the more polished, more distinctive Civic with stronger style and a more premium feel, the 2016 is the better pick. If your priority is spending less and you’re happy with a simpler, more value-focused compact car, the 2015 is the cheaper alternative worth considering.
