• Owners rate the Honda Civic between 4.5 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2023 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Honda Sensing on the 2026 Civic; blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert on the Civic Sport, with front and rear parking sensors plus low-speed automatic braking on the Sport Touring Hybrid.
• Infotainment: 7-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; 10.2-inch instrumentation and 9-inch infotainment displays with Google built-in, Alexa built-in, Wi-Fi hotspot access, and wireless smartphone charging on the Civic Si and Sport Touring Hybrid.

Which Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Civic offers these trims:

• Sport: This adds the same core powertrain with a more upscale look and feel, plus blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert; it is the best-value trim for many shoppers.
• Sport Hybrid: This brings Honda’s Two Motor Hybrid powertrain for stronger performance and impressive efficiency.
• Sport Touring Hybrid: This adds larger 10.2-inch instrumentation and 9-inch infotainment displays, Google built-in, Alexa built-in, Wi-Fi hotspot access, wireless smartphone charging, and front and rear parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking.

What Honda Civic do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they combine broad availability with newer features and strong value. More listings also give you more room to compare condition, equipment, and pricing before you buy.

What is the Honda Civic's resale value?

Most model years in this set are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. A few years are nearly flat or slightly higher, so the Civic’s pricing picture is mixed rather than uniformly falling.

The 2014, 2023, and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2014, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
