Is the 2019 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Honda Civic earns a 4.71/5 user rating, and our experts rate it 7.83/10. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, comfort, and safety features, and they also like its stylish appearance and good fuel economy. That lines up with the Civic’s use case as a compact car that feels more refined and more expensive than its price suggests, while still giving you sedan, coupe, and hatchback choices.

With 24.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to reliability, comfort, and a car that owners feel good about keeping for the long haul. The expert evaluation also emphasizes smoothness, refinement, and a chassis that feels composed without giving up everyday usability.

Honda’s powertrains and transmissions are described as smooth and well matched, and the CVT is called out for avoiding the usual high-revving or lugging behavior that can make some rivals feel less dependable over time. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific car you choose has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by age or heavy use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Honda Civic?

At 53.3% 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 interior wear that doesn’t match the mileage. Focus on condition first, because the Civic’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been kept up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Civic’s trim spread changes the look and equipment level quite a bit, and the Sport trim adds a center-mounted exhaust and some of the exterior flash of the Si for less money.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport models use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while EX and above get a turbocharged 1.5-liter; the turbo engine is quicker to respond and stronger in mid-range acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R, and it includes forward-collision alert with emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: The system includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Honda’s Garmin-based navigation is a standout for its graphics and voice input.

Which 2019 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2019 Honda Civic is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, Touring, Si.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Civic’s core value and basic equipment without the extra cost of the higher trims.
• Sport: This is the best-value pick for many shoppers because it adds more style and a sportier look, including the center-mounted exhaust, without jumping into the pricier turbo trims.
• EX: This is the trim CarGurus recommends, and it brings the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen; it’s the sweet spot if you want the best mix of features and value.
• Touring: This is the most upscale mainstream Civic here, with LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo.
• Si: This is the enthusiast choice, with the boosted 1.5-liter engine and a manual transmission for drivers who want the most performance-focused Civic in this lineup.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R.

What is the 2019 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $17,468 sits slightly below last year's $18,442.

That softer pricing suggests the Civic has already moved through some of its depreciation pressure, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you shop carefully now, you may have a better chance of owning a car that holds its value more predictably from here.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic safe?

The 2019 Civic earns five-star ratings from NHTSA in all categories except the coupe, which earns four-star passenger-side frontal crash ratings. It also earned top Good ratings from IIHS in all six crash tests on earlier model years that were rated, and its crash-prevention features were rated Superior.

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

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R, and it includes forward-collision alert with emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. That makes the Civic unusually well equipped for safety at this price point, though the coupe’s lower frontal rating is the main caveat to keep in mind.

Should I buy a 2019 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 24.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 53.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.28% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Civic’s winning mix of style, value, performance, and broad body-style and powertrain variety.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $18,850, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $17,468 average.
• It adds minor design tweaks, more standard safety and convenience features, and more manual transmissions.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the smarter buy because pricing has softened and the Civic’s core strengths are intact. If you’re willing to pay more for a slightly updated version with more standard equipment, the 2020 is the cleaner upgrade path.
