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 2,729 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, and they also like its stylish design and high safety ratings. That lines up with the overview’s focus on a more polished, modern compact car that still keeps the Civic’s traditional thrift and everyday usability. With 30.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to reliability, and the broader summary reinforces the Civic’s thrift and dependability. The test-drive summary also describes it as a very small, fun-to-drive package with thrift and dependability, which supports the idea that it should be easy to live with over time. Honda Sensing is available on every sedan trim, so you can get a strong safety and convenience package without moving up the lineup.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is choosing a car with hidden wear or prior damage, so condition and history matter more than mileage alone.

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

At 46.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection is worth prioritizing, especially if you’re comparing cars with similar prices but different condition histories. Focus on signs of uneven wear, repair quality, and whether the car still feels tight and well sorted on the road.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from the well-equipped Touring sedan with chrome accents, polished two-tone 17-inch wheels, full LED lighting, and a cleaner, more upscale cabin presentation to lower trims that won’t have those premium touches.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower, while higher trims use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 174 horsepower; the CVT is standard on most trims, and the base LX is the only one 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 and on the coupe Touring.
• Infotainment: The system includes an Android-based interface, Garmin navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, 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. If you want the lowest-cost way into the Civic and value a more involved driving experience, this is the one to start with.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more equipment while staying below the turbocharged and luxury-leaning trims. It’s a smart middle ground if you want a nicer Civic without chasing the highest price.
• EX-T: This is the trim to target if you want the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and stronger performance without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• EX-L: This trim is for you if you want a more upscale feel and are willing to pay for it. It sits above the turbo trim and moves the Civic closer to a premium compact-car experience.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the chrome exterior details, polished wheels, full LED lighting, and the most advanced presentation inside. It’s the right pick if you want the nicest Civic and don’t mind paying for it.

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

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

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,729 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 46.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,331, 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 $13,831 sits slightly above last year's $13,789.

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 predictable pricing environment. If you keep the car in strong condition and can document its history, you should be in a better position when it’s time 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 Civic sedan earns five-star ratings for frontal crash, side crash, and rollover risk from NHTSA, and the Civic sedan and coupe are Top Safety Pick+ winners from IIHS with Good scores in all five crash tests and a Superior crash-avoidance rating.

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. It’s standard on every sedan trim, while the coupe gets it only on 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:

• 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 46.6% 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 all-new 2016 Civic takes bold chances in elevating small-car fashion, refinement, and build quality, and it succeeds.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,223, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,831 average.
• It delivers reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value with unusual ease.

The 2016 is the better pick if you want the more modern, more polished Civic and are comfortable paying a bit more for it. If your priority is saving money first and you still want a well-rounded compact car, the 2015 is the value-oriented alternative worth a look.

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 comes across as the more refined and better-equipped compact car, 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 power, efficiency, and overall expert score. If you want the more polished daily driver, the Civic is the stronger choice; if price matters most, the Corolla deserves a look.
