Overview
The Honda Civic is a sedan known for this above all: the benchmark compact; hybrid returns 47+ mpg, si and type r for fun. It cross-shops against the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and like every vehicle it has a personality — strengths worth paying for and quirks worth checking before you sign anything.
What it costs
Trims to know
LX, Sport, EX-L, Touring, Si, Type R. Mid trims usually carry the best used value — top trims depreciate hardest (good used buys), base trims resell easiest.

- Cold-start the engine and listen for the first 30 seconds
- Confirm all recalls are closed at the dealer, not just 'ordered'
