The Honda Civic's current nationwide average price is $19,165, and its lowest point over the past year was $17,558. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Honda Civic a good car?

The all-generations owner rating is 4.47/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Civic for reliability, fuel economy, and an enjoyable driving experience. Comfort, roomy interiors, and practical cargo space also come up often, which helps explain why it appeals to commuters, families, and first-time buyers alike.

Expert reviews rate the 2015 and 2020 models among the highest across all years.

Are Honda Civic models reliable?

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

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is generally manageable, but condition and maintenance history still matter because some model years have known issue patterns that are worth checking carefully.

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

Across all model years, at 66% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

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

What Honda Civic do most buyers choose?

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

The highest-volume years tend to be the most popular because they offer the broadest mix of availability, newer features, and current-market pricing. That combination gives you more choices and makes it easier to compare condition, mileage, and equipment.

What is the Honda Civic's resale value?

Most model years in this table are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. The declines are generally modest, with one model year showing a gain instead of a drop. That mix suggests the Civic remains in demand while still giving shoppers room to find value.

The 2016, 2023, and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2023, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
