| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Paid sticker price less $2,000 rebate. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The Elantra is about $4000-$6000 less than a comparable vehicle from Japanese car makers. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Cash 4 clunkers got me to look. Consumer Reports rated #1. 1st looked @ Civic,Corola. Had better head room w/sunroof, best warranty, best price, Best brakes, towing capacity, interior room. I NEVER thought Elantra, EVER, Now I take it out, "just 4 a ride" |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Best small car for the money right now. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Same price can only get me a average or less than average featured Civic or Corolla. Toyota and Honda both refused to provided payment plan due to not enough history, Hyundai just picked me up right away. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The Hyundai cost less money out-the-door than a Civic without air-conditioning or a corolla without anti-lock brakes. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
See above. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Price was about $17k. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
2008 Elantra SE seemed to offer a lot of value for money; with the features I now have, I would have paid a lot more money with a Civic, Corolla or some other option. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I got a no haggle price. I just called the dealership, told the salesperson my price, and the cash deal(at my price) was complete in about 3 hours of my phone call. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
very cheap for what you get |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
A lot of bang for the buck! |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Rebate allowed this car to be had, including extended warrantyu if desired, for about $1000 less than most comparable Totyate Corolla LE. Honda was no where near close ($3000 more). |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Good price/value |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
great value compared to other vehicles. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I was able to get a good interest rate and what seemed like a good final price from the dealer. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
$4000-5000 less than any US or Japanese of equal options and size. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The price was reasonable and the interest rate was good for the time. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Considering all the features that came with the car, plus the cost of operating, and insuring the car, the Elantra is an economical car. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Great price at the time for the size of vehicle |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Is/was a bargain price, great value |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The price was great considering the options. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
cost was less than I expected |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Best bang for the buck! Car comes fully loaded at a reasonable price |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Brand new it costs less than some competitors used prices. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
were affordable for the amount of car you were getting. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
it was cheaper then a civic |
| 2002 | 4dr Hatch 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Used Elantras are quite cheap. Any car of the same year/size/class with the same features/options would cost significantly more. |
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. |
| Price of the Honda Civic: Cons | ||
| 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 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 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Too pricey for what you get. |
| 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 | 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. |
| 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. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 127-horsepower 1.7L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
too high |
