| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
I was able to get an Altima with options for what I perceived was a very good price. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
I saw all the rave reviews and features it had, and I thought the car would be around $40,000 CAD at least. However, it turned out to be $30,000 which was in my budget. I took it for a spin and was instantly sold. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
27K + list, $3,000 down, 24 months at $299 with 15K miles per year. This was a sweet deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Nissan Canada has 0.9% financing right now on all 2008 models. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Lower than what I was paying on old car! |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The payments were very reasonable, and the dealer offered a good discount. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Dealership Willing to negotiate. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Considerably less. Dealership willing to negotiate vehicle price |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
You can save a few thousnad dollars over the Camry and I feel the Altima is a better looking car. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Lower price than Camry for more features |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
I lease it for $311/month with added tire/windshield/paintless dent repair. That's with no down payment. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
not a good value for the money |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The Altima would have cost us $4000-$5000 more with similar equipment level. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
When I negotiated for the altima the cheapest the dealership would come down to was just over 25,000. It was the 2.5 sl package (leather, bose stereo, etc. For another 1,400 I bought the accord v6 with the premium stereo, leather, moonroof, etc. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The price is a bit on the high side when comparing to domestic automobiles, yet a lot can be said about costumer service and a high quality product. I for one will be a repeat costumer of nissans |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
High $20k for an SE |
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 |
