Is it worth buying a Honda Civic?

Yes, the Honda Civic is a reliable vehicle that holds its resale value. Through the years, there have been many powertrain options and configurations, allowing buyers to find exactly what they want, especially from a used model.

How much is the cheapest Civic?

Newer Civic models start at around £35,000 from new. However, used Civic cars can be found at a variety of prices. Our research shows that the average price of an older generation 2001 Civic starts at around £2,400, illustrating that a reliable car can be found at a low price.

How long will a Civic last?

Honda equips the Civic with reliable powertrains. This is part of the reason why the used Civics are so desirable. With proper maintenance, there shouldn't be any problem getting 200,000 miles or more from a Civic.

The compact design and efficient powertrains make the Civic a top contender for fuel economy. The newest generation comes with a hybrid engine to ensure longer travel time per tank and lower emissions.

Which is the better car, Toyota or Honda?

Both manufacturers create reliable, long-lasting vehicles. Toyota and Honda vehicles are known for holding their value, and both will last when properly cared for. It's important to research the model you want before purchasing to see how well it is designed to hold up.

What is the main problem with the Honda Civic?

Civics are known for reliability, so there have only been a handful of major problems to worry about. Probably the most well-known issue is with the 2006 models, which suffered from a loss of power steering and a recall stating that the engine could cut out.

Is Honda getting rid of the Civic?

While there have been a lot of changes with the Civic over the years, there's no indication that Honda is getting rid of the model. The manufacturer just updated the lineup with a hybrid configuration for the brand-new generation.

Different generations of used Honda Civic

Each generation of the Honda Civic added more technology and better powertrain options, keeping it modern and desirable. Some of the older Civic models are sought after today as classics, considering that the model is now in its 11th generation. First introduced in 1972, the car has become more popular than ever anticipated.

Eleventh Generation (2022 to 2022)

The biggest news with the latest generation is the sole powertrain option: a self-charging hybrid configuration. It includes a 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor to create 184bhp. Various trims are now available, including the Elegance, Sport and Advance, with each providing a new level of connectivity and excitement.

Not only does the newest Civic have plenty of acceleration for merging with traffic, but it also has good handling for a smooth drive. The hybrid engine also brings greater efficiency, meaning fewer trips to the petrol station.

Tenth Generation (2015 to 2022)

While the saloon model features more space than the hatchback, both are fun to drive thanks to the turbocharged petrol or diesel engine. This sports car looks great and offers modern amenities. The available manual transmission makes it even more enjoyable to drive.

The only major complaint among enthusiasts is the clunky infotainment centre touchscreen, though this isn't usually a deal-breaker. A mild facelift occurred in 2019, helping to keep the lineup current.
