"There Are Two Ways To Buy Used Honda Civics
At Wholesale Prices!"
The Civic is probably one of the best passenger vehicles ever made when it comes to reliability, functionality and cost to operate. It's also great on gas. The gas mileage for a 2004 Honda Civic automatic, for example, is 30 mpg city and 38 mpg hwy. And the 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid gets 48 mpg city and 47 mpg hwy.
It was the introduction of the Civic, in 1973, that paved the way for Honda's eventual wide acceptance in the U.S. car market. And over the years, the Civic has continued to offer improved engine performance while maintaining fuel economy.
Whether looking for a sedan, coupe or hatchback in a compact vehicle, the Civic likely has a model that fits your needs.
And more "serious" driving enthusiasts may want to consider the Civic Si Hatchback that comes with a lively 197 horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a six-speed manual transmission and a front limited-slip differential. With its sport-tuned suspension and 17-inch wheels, its all-around performance is really at a level typical of cars priced thousands of dollars more.
Year to Year Civic Changes:
2002 Honda Civic: A sporty Si hatchback model was introduced that was 9 inches shorter than the other body styles. Coming only with a manual transmission, this fun-to-drive Si was rated at 160 horsepower and featured antilock brakes, electric-assist power steering, a sport suspension, and a sunroof. In addition, regular coupes and sedans got suspension revisions to improve ride, handling and interior noise levels.
2003 Honda Civic: The Civic Hybrid sedan with a gasoline-electric powertrain was introduced. In addition, most Civics were outfited with new gauges, and the HX and LX gained a CD player as standard equipment. The LX got a height-adjustable driver's seat like the EX. Sedans were given restyled taillights and EX coupes got alloy wheels.
2004 Honda Civic: All Civics were given revised front and rear styling. LX models got standard keyless entry and 15 inch wheels (were 14 inch). EX sedans were given standard alloy wheels and the Hybrid joined the LX and EX by offering a height-adjustable driver seat.
2005 Honda Civic: No changes were made in anticipation of a fairly significant redesign coming in 2006.
2006 Honda Civic: Received new styling, new safety equipment, more power, and a new gasoline/electric Hybrid model with 110 horsepower (was 93). The Si hatchback was discontinued in favor of a sporty Si coupe. The front-wheel-drive sedan was larger outside, but smaller inside. Coupes were slightly smaller, both inside and out.
Civics were given head-protecting curtain side airbags (standard). Antilock brakes became standart equipment on all models.
2007 Honda Civic: A sedan version of the sporty Si was introduced.
2008 Honda Civic: New EX-L and new Si trims. All Si models got a 197 horsepower 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine. Also new was the high-performance Civic MUGEN Si sedan with special suspension tuning and unique trim.
