What Honda Civic do most buyers choose?

The Honda Civic years with the most listings are 2023, 2021, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of price points, equipment levels, and body styles. They also sit close enough to the current generation to feel modern while still offering more used-market choice than the newest examples.

What is the Honda Civic's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used and want more room to negotiate. The largest drops are in the double digits for several recent years, while a few older and newer examples have changed by smaller amounts. Overall, the table points to broad softening rather than strength across the lineup.

The 2015, 2026, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
