Honda Civic Used Cars

Consumers in the market for a used Honda Civic for sale should direct their efforts to vehicles no older than the 1996 Honda Civic, which marks the beginning of the line’s sixth generation. Like many older vehicles, pre-sixth-generation Civics are dangerous due to the lack of safety features. In addition, most modern drivers would be dissatisfied with the features and performance offered by the older vehicles.

Considering that the blue book values on most mid-1990s Civics are below $2K, there is not a lot to gain from an older model. Moreover, the technology and refinement jump from the fifth to sixth generation is greater than it has been since. A used 1996-2000 Honda Civic for sale will be available in coupé, hatchback, and sedan body styles at DX, LX, and EX trim levels. Honda Civic EX models include a VTEC 1.6-liter that produces 127 horsepower while the DX and LX models include a 1.6-liter than generates 106 horsepower.

The seventh-generation Honda Civics were available from 2001-2005 and make for reliable used vehicles that consumers can have at attractive prices. The majority of the Civics sold during this generation have the 117-horsepower generating 1.7-liter engine. This engine in EX models is tuned to generate 127 horsepower. Standard trims include DX, LX, and EX. During this generation, the hatchback was sold as an Si model only.

However, used car buyers that can afford it should gravitate toward the 2006 and newer Honda Civics. The eighth and current generation of Honda Civic is an amazing small car that has spent the last five years dominating its segment. Historically one of the bestselling cars in North America, the Honda Civic has built a reputation for safety, ride quality, reliability, fuel performance, and comfort.

The 2006 Honda Civic offers almost all of the performance, comfort, and safety that the 2010 models do with a much-reduced price tag. All of the body styles and trim configurations available on the 2010 Honda Civic are available on a 2006 Honda Civic as well.
