What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Honda Civic

Price of the Honda Civic: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 While not the bargain they once were, Honda still offers good value for the money. Maintenance costs are relatively low as well.
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 honda lease rate is very good
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 I got good interest rates from Honda. They also paid off the remainder of my lease on my Ford Ranger so I could trade it in 2 months early. There are also many options available on a lease. Overall it was cheaper than a similar Toyota Corolla.
2008 2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 It is the "fastest" car under $20k and very fun to drive for the price. You do not feel like you are driving an "economy" car.
2007 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Not expensive for what you get.
2007 4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Overall total cost of ownership was far less than other sporty models, to the tune of over $1200/year, before even considering the lower price and less depreciation.
2007 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 My Civic was reasonably priced and monthly payments are easy on the budget.
2006 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Cheap. Got it used from dealer for 16,000 w/only 3,000 miles on it.
2003 2dr Coupe 127-horsepower 1.7L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Lots of bang for what we paid.
2002 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 1.7L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 This car was within my price range for monthly payments.
Price of the Honda Civic: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 A comparable Civic is about $5,000 more than the Forte. Interest rates for 5 year plans were also higher.
2009 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 too expensive
2009 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 good sales people but not much in the way of discounts or coming off the sticker or dealing ,at sticker they make at least 1500 per car and they dont really want to deal any off the sticker and say they will sell eventually
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Too pricey for what you get.
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 You can expect to pay somewhat of a premium for the name, compared to other cars of similar features/economy.
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 price of 20 k Euro a little too high
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 to expensive at 20,200 Euros
2007 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It costs more, with less to offer, than the Scion tC ... unless you can haggle them down on the price. And good luck with that at a Honda dealer.
2007 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Civic is a good vehicle overall, but Honda name commands a higher price with few cutting edge features by comparison to usual (Toyota/ VW /Mazda) and not so common (Hyundai / Kia / Pontiac) rivals.
2007 2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 In order to get the features that were comparable to the Elantra I had to at least get the LX model. It would have cost me close to $5,000-7,000 more to get an LX civic coupe versus the final cost of my Elantra.
2006 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed automatic FWD		 Price was non-negotiable in 2006 it should be better in the current economy.
2003 2dr Coupe 115-horsepower 1.7L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 No room for bargaining, and the car was $4000 more than the Protege.
2003 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 1.7L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Have a high resale value, so it might not be on the top of the list when buying used.
2003 4dr Sedan 93-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid
5-speed manual FWD		 Do not buy a hybrid if you want to save money. It will cost you more than an LX Civic, even in the long run.
2002 4dr Sedan 127-horsepower 1.7L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 too high

Price of the Nissan Sentra: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
CVT FWD		 I think this car is slightly overpriced. Though depending on when and where you buy, there is potential for a good deal.
2007 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
CVT FWD		 To get the essential features, you are forced to buy overpriced bundles with trivial value features.
2006 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 seems like for 25k fully loaded yu shld get leather and a little bit more thoughtfully tuned suspension
