How much does the 2024 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 5,425 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Honda Civic earns a 4.5/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the car’s new look, interior design, and driving experience, and they also highlight the smooth manual shifting and great gas mileage. The Civic Si is aimed at drivers who value the experience of driving as much as getting where they are going, and that enthusiast focus comes through in the way it feels on the road.

The main trade-offs are that all-wheel drive is not available and the brakes can’t withstand repeated hard use. The driver assistance technology can also be irritating, especially if you prefer a calmer, less intrusive setup.

With its fun-to-drive character, easy-to-use technology, and strong value proposition, this is a good fit if you want a compact sports sedan that feels more engaging than practical transportation alone. Good and great deals account for 33.6% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners also describe the car as dependable in the way they talk about its smooth shifting, great gas mileage, and overall enjoyment over time. The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by noting how well the car works as a daily driver and how smoothly the manual transmission and clutch operate.

Honda Service Pass also includes complimentary scheduled maintenance for the first two years and 24,000 miles of ownership, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the car has been cared for properly, especially if you plan to keep it for many years.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Honda Civic?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been driven hard or modified. Focus on brake condition, tire wear, and signs that the car has been used in a way that matches its enthusiast-oriented setup. It also makes sense to confirm that the driver-assistance systems behave the way you want, since some owners find them intrusive.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Civic Si stands apart with its sportier exterior details, red interior accents, metal pedal covers, aluminum shift knob, and more expressive cabin treatment. Compared with the standard Civic Sedan, it is the more performance-focused choice, but the base setup still leaves you with a manual-transmission, enthusiast-first car rather than a luxury-oriented one.
• Powertrain: You get a high-output turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque, paired with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission and rev-matching. A helical limited-slip differential, larger brakes, thicker stabilizer bars, and a dual-pinion variable-ratio steering system are also standard.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, driver monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and a rear seat reminder system. Some of these features can feel intrusive in daily use.
• Infotainment: Every car gets an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, text-messaging support, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, and HondaLink connected services. Native navigation is not included.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA says it should return 31 mpg in combined driving, and the test route averaged 29.5 mpg.

Which 2024 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2024 Honda Civic is offered in 1 trim level: Civic Si.

Here's the short version:

The Civic Si is the clear choice because it is the only trim and it packages the car’s best traits together: the manual transmission, the turbocharged engine, the limited-slip differential, and the standard Bose audio system. If you want the most engaging version of this model year, this is the one to buy.

Honda Sensing is standard, but the driving-assistance tuning can be irritating, so you should test those systems before you commit.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Honda Civic?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,425 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,056, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $25,307 sits slightly below last year's $25,560.

That small decline suggests the market has been stable rather than volatile, which is helpful if you plan to sell later. A steady price pattern usually means buyers are still comfortable paying near-market value for the right example, especially when inventory remains active but not flooded.

Strong owner satisfaction also helps support future demand. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Honda Civic safe?

The 2024 Honda Civic earns a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA. It earns five-star ratings in all of the individual NHTSA assessments except for a four-star rating for front passenger protection in a frontal-impact collision.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, driver monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and a rear seat reminder system.

The main caveat is that some of those systems can feel overly intrusive, and the lane-keeping and adaptive cruise behavior may not suit every driver. If you value a calmer driving experience, you should test the assistance features carefully before buying.

Should I buy a 2024 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It delivers a manual-only, enthusiast-focused driving experience with strong tech and a high expert score.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $25,591, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $25,307 average.
• Honda broadened the lineup and made the gas-only Civic easier to shop by powertrain.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2024 if you want the better-value enthusiast pick and are comfortable with its manual-only setup. If you’re price-sensitive, the 2024’s steadier pricing and stronger deal availability make it the more attractive buy right now.
