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 2,653 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 4.86/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 8/10. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

Owners consistently praise the Civic’s smooth drive, reliability, and impressive fuel economy. The review summary also highlights its stylish design and high safety ratings, which fit the car’s more polished, upscale take on the compact-car formula.

That makes it a strong fit if you want a small car that feels more refined than basic transportation while still staying efficient and easy to live with. Good and great deals account for 31.9% of listings, so there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2016 Honda Civic reliable?

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

The owner summary repeatedly points to reliability, and it also emphasizes the Civic’s smooth drive and impressive fuel economy, both of which usually matter to shoppers looking for a car they can count on day after day. The expert summary reinforces that theme by describing the Civic as a model that upholds thrift and dependability in a small, fun-to-drive package.

The ownership picture looks reassuring for used buyers, but you should still verify maintenance history and overall condition before you commit.

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

At 46.8% 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 had bodywork or shows uneven panel gaps, tire wear, or paint mismatch. Focus on overall condition and how well the car has been maintained, since the market includes both clean examples and cars with prior damage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from LX to Touring, and the higher trims add more upscale equipment, including chrome accents, polished two-tone wheels, full LED lighting, and a cleaner, more premium cabin presentation. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you without those extra comfort and appearance upgrades.
• Powertrain: The lineup uses two 4-cylinder engines: a 2.0-liter with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque on the lower trims, and a turbocharged 1.5-liter with 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque on the higher trims. The CVT is standard on most trims, while the base LX gets 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 is available on every sedan trim, while on the coupe it is 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 customizable digital instrument panel on the Touring. The text does not specify a screen size.
• 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 it is the only trim with the 6-speed manual. Choose it if you want the lowest-cost way into the Civic and value simplicity over extra equipment.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it moves you into the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and adds a more upscale equipment mix without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• EX-T: This trim is for you if you want the turbo engine and a richer feature set while staying below the luxury-leaning upper trims.
• EX-L: This is the right step up if you want more comfort and convenience features and are willing to pay for them.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the most premium look and the most advanced presentation inside and out.

Honda Sensing is available on every sedan trim, which makes even lower trims appealing if safety tech is a priority.

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 buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,653 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 46.8% 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 $13,863 sits slightly above last year's $13,806.

That small increase suggests the Civic has held value well rather than sliding sharply. For a future seller, that kind of stability is helpful because it points to steady buyer interest and a market that is not being pressured by rapid depreciation.

The Civic’s broad appeal also helps support resale strength, especially when you have a clean history and strong maintenance records. 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 Top Safety Pick+ recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 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 is available on every sedan trim, while on the coupe it is limited to the Touring.

The Civic also offers a backup camera with three views, including a top view and an extra-wide shot. The main caveat is that these driver-assistance systems are helpful, but they are not a substitute for attentive 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:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 46.8% 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 redesign brings a more refined feel, stronger build quality, and a more upscale small-car experience.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,210, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,863 average.
• It delivers reliability, safety, fuel efficiency, quality, and value in a straightforward compact package.

The bottom line: If you want the more polished and refined Civic, the 2016 is the better pick. If your priority is spending less and you are comfortable with a simpler, less upscale experience, the 2015 is the value play.
