What Honda Civic do most buyers choose?

The Honda Civic years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. When more listings are on the market, you usually have more room to compare condition, mileage, and equipment before you buy.

What is the Honda Civic's resale value?

Most model years in the table are moving lower year over year, which is helpful if you’re shopping used. A few years are close to flat, and one year is rising, so the Civic’s pricing picture is mixed rather than uniform. Overall, the pattern still favors buyers who want to wait for a softer entry point.

The 2014, 2016, and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2014, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
