Used 2019 Honda Civic for Sale nearOttawa, ON

How much does the 2019 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 9.30% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 708 listings available, which suggests you have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Honda Civic earns a 4.71/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, comfort, and safety features, while also calling out its good fuel economy and stylish appearance. That lines up well with the Civic’s role as a practical compact car that still feels more polished and engaging than you might expect. If you want a small car that balances everyday usability with a more upscale driving feel, this model year fits that brief well. With 33.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is also a decent amount of market value to work with.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to reliability, trouble-free ownership, and a car people feel good about keeping for the long haul. The expert evaluation also describes the Civic as a safe, comfortable, and reliable car to get to work, with smooth and refined engines, a clutch and shifter that feel near-perfect, and a CVT that avoids the strained behaviour some rivals show. Honda also notes that the first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the Civic’s core durability and more about finding one that has been maintained properly and not worn hard.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Honda Civic?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Civic lineup spans sedan, coupe, and hatchback body styles, and the source notes that the Touring sedan adds LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier audio system. Base trims are more basic, so you should check whether the features you want are included before you buy.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder makes 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while the turbocharged 1.5-litre inline-four is quicker to respond and offers better mid-range acceleration. The hatchback uses the turbo engine exclusively, and the Si and Type R are much more powerful performance variants.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R. It includes forward-collision alert with forward collision warning and emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: The system includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth. Honda’s Garmin-based navigation is a standout, and LaneWatch is available on certain trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The source says the Civic offers good fuel economy, but it does not provide a fuel-consumption figure in L/100 km.

Which 2019 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2019 Honda Civic is offered in 6 trim levels: DX, LX, EX, Sport, Touring, and Si.

Here's the short version:

• DX: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Civic nameplate and are comfortable with a simpler feature set.
• LX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it keeps the Civic affordable while still giving you the core Civic experience and access to the standard safety suite.
• EX: This trim adds more convenience and is a sensible step up if you want a better-equipped daily driver without jumping too far in price.
• Sport: This is the right pick if you want a little more visual flair, including the centre-mounted exhaust and some of the exterior flash of the Si for less money.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the most upscale Civic sedan experience, especially the LED headlights, navigation, and top-tier audio system.
• Si: This is the enthusiast choice, with the boosted 1.5-litre engine and a stick shift, but it is not the best-value pick for most buyers.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Honda Civic?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting a fire sale.

• Deal availability: 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 708 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.30% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $18,475 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $18,510 CAD sits slightly below last year's $20,407 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Civic has already absorbed some depreciation, which can be helpful if you are buying now and worrying about future value loss. For a future seller, the softer market means you may not recover as much as owners did a year ago, especially if your car is a higher-trim example without standout equipment. Still, the Civic’s broad appeal and strong reputation should help it remain easy to market when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic safe?

The 2019 Honda Civic earns five-star ratings in all categories from NHTSA, with the exception of a four-star passenger-side frontal crash rating for the coupe.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R. It includes forward-collision alert with forward collision warning and emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. The IIHS rated various 2016–2018 Civic models with its top Good rating in all six crash tests, and it rated the Civic’s crash-prevention features as Superior. The 2019 model itself was not rated, though the source says it is identical to earlier model years.

Should I buy a 2019 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.30% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 keeps the Civic’s polished driving feel, broad body-style choice, and strong safety package.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $20,320 CAD, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $18,510 CAD average.
• It adds minor design tweaks plus more standard safety and convenience features.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the smarter buy because prices have eased and inventory is available. If you are willing to pay more for a slightly fresher version with extra standard features, the 2020 is the better secondary path.
