What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Honda Civic
| Price of the Honda Civic: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Acura TSX
| Price of the Acura TSX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Got it for well below invoice |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
inexpensive in its class |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35) |
| Price of the Acura TSX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
too high |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Dealer unwilling to negotiate price. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord |
