For decades, the Honda Civic has been one of the most consistently dependable nameplates in the automotive market. It’s fun to drive, too. The 2017 model of the classic compact is no exception, offering a roomy, feature-rich ride even in lower trims.

2017 Honda Civic: A Quick Overview
- The 2017 model year was the Honda Civic’s best-selling year ever, with over 377,000 units sold.
- A used 2017 model costs between $15,000 and $25,000, offering three different body styles: a coupe, sedan, or five-door hatchback.

- The 2017 Civic’s lack of a manual volume knob, and a rather dull interior color scheme are some of the reported negative aspects of this model year.
- The Honda Civic is a slow depreciator with a pretty smooth decline year after year, still holding over 63% of its value after five years on the road.
2017 Honda Civic Trim Levels
With the Honda Civic, you have three options to start with: sedan, coupe, or hatchback. Each version of the car has its own set of trim levels, with some crossover between them, and some trim levels unique to a specific style of Civic.
Hatchbacks offer more cargo space and are often available in performance-oriented trim levels. Sedans are a bit bigger than coupes and lean into luxury styling, while coupes tend to be more stylish, sporty, and sleek. Wherever the three styles share a trim level, they all offer the same performance and interior features unless noted otherwise, with just the body type differing from car to car.
Civic LX/LX-P
This is available for all three styles of Civic, and is your basic entry-level Civic. Of course, the base level is going to be the least feature-heavy car in the lineup. However, Honda didn’t exactly skimp out on this one. Some nice LED daytime running lights and tech features like Bluetooth, a five-inch display, and a backup camera keep the cheapest Civic from feeling cheap.
Exclusive to the coupe is the LX-P, an LX sedan, but with a few extra features and a touch more flair in the styling. You get a chrome exhaust tip, auto up/down on the windows, and an eight-way motorized driver’s seat. It’s not a huge upgrade on the LX, but then it only costs about $100 more.
Civic EX/EX-T/EX-L/EX-L Navi
Available for the sedan and coupe, the next-level-up trim over the LX is the EX, featuring some nice style and comfort upgrades like a leather shift knob and steering wheel, a rear center armrest, some extra cupholders, and some fog lights.
The EX-T is offered on all three Civic body styles, and it’s where you get the 1.5L turbo engine, a potent little 174 horsepower inline-four (I4). The EX-T also comes standard with heated seats.
Offered on all three styles of Civic, the EX-L is a slight upgrade over the EX-T, with a CVT, some additional leather in the interior, and an upgraded navigation system.
Exclusive to the hatchback is the EX-L Navi. It is an EX-L Hatchback, but with an automatic air-conditioning system to keep the interior nice and cool. Sounds like a minor upgrade, but you’d be surprised how it comes in handy if you live in a warmer state like Florida or Louisiana.
Civic Si
This is available for the sedan and coupe. The Si is like a mini-muscle car, with a 205 horsepower, 1.5L turbo I4 that almost feels like a V6. If you’re into performance vehicles, an Si Coupe is a heck of a consolation prize for the Sport trim level being exclusive to the hatchback. A six-speed manual with overdrive comes standard on the Si.
Civic Touring/Sport Touring
Available for the sedan and coupe, this is the luxury trim. Here you get a 10-speaker stereo setup, premium leather on just about everything, full FOB controls, dual-zone A/C, extra monitors, HondaLink, the works.
Exclusive to the hatchback, everything you get in a Touring model, you get in a Sport Touring model, plus a couple of extra speakers in the audio system. Therefore, a Sport Touring Hatchback would be the most luxurious model available. Sport Touring is CVT-only.
Civic Sport
Exclusive to the hatchback, this is an old gearhead favorite and one of the sportier cars out there in its price range, at 180 horsepower with a 1.5L I4. The feature presentation on this one is the way it drives, so interior features are comparable to the LX, but you do get some leather on the steering wheel.
What Will a 2017 Honda Civic Cost You?
On the low end, if you were to buy the cheapest 2017 Civic directly from the previous owner, you could spend just a little over $15k on an LX Coupe. On the higher end, you could go up to around $25k for a certified pre-owned Sport Touring Hatchback. For a middle-of-the-road option with all the basics, like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, push-button start, and Honda’s Lane Watch safety system, we recommend the EX (EX-T in Coupe); these can be found for about $16k to $21k.
Pricing differences for the same trim level from style to style are pretty marginal, so whether you like coupes, sedans, or hatchbacks best, you won’t have to compromise based on budget.
Further pricing can be found on our 2017 Honda Civic specs page, where our pricing comes directly from Kelley Blue Book (KBB), one of the leading authorities on new and used vehicle pricing.
Honda’s Certified Pre-owned (CPO) Program Adds Peace of Mind to Used Car Shopping
Most Civic owners tend to be safe, responsible drivers, so you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a 2017 in good shape. Still, the peace of mind you purchase in getting a CPO car from a licensed dealer is well worth the additional cost. The CPO units include a 12-month/12,000-mile extension on the bumper-to-bumper warranty, and ups the powertrain coverage to seven years/100,000 miles. What’s more, the dealer must run each unit through a more rigorous inspection process. Considering that the Civic is a member of the Million Mile Club, a CPO with low mileage is basically a brand-new car.
Does a 2017 Honda Civic Hold its Value?
The Honda Civic is a slow depreciator. If you take a look at the 10-year chart on Car Edge, it’s basically a straight diagonal line from top left to bottom right. Most cars will lose a big chunk of value in the first year, before slowing down to a more even rate of depreciation, but a Civic is a pretty smooth decline year after year.
After just one year on the road, the car only lost about 12% of its value. After five, it’s still holding over 63% of its value where most compacts are worth around half their sticker price. After a decade, it’s still expected to hold about a third of its original value.
Unless you’re flipping old classics to resell, no car is really an investment. Whether it’s a Mercedes or an F-150, a new vehicle starts losing value the minute you drive it off the lot. Still, the Civic’s value drops at a much slower than average pace.
Compact cars in general tend to depreciate a little slower. A Hyundai Elantra, for instance, holds about 75% of its initial value after a year before landing on about a third of its sticker price after a decade. A Toyota Corolla, on average, holds 80% of its value after one year, retaining an impressive 45% after 10 years.
Engine Options in the 2017 Honda Civic
The 2017 Honda Civic comes with two engine options: a 2.0L I4 in the LX and EX sedans and coupes, and a 1.5L I4 turbo in everything else.
For transmission, most trims come with a one-speed CVT as standard, and a six-speed manual as an option. There’s no six-speed automatic option in the 2017 Civics, but Honda has put together a CVT that’s pretty similar in feel to a conventional automatic. So, even if you dislike CVTs, it might be worth giving this one a test-drive to see what you think.
The EX-L and Sport Touring are CVT-exclusive, and the Si is manual-exclusive. Other than that, you can pick whichever transmission suits you. Engines are locked to trim level.
All Civics are front-wheel drive (FWD), and have been since the first generation; that’s just how Civic fans like it. The FWD setup gives you a nice tight grip on the road, even in rough conditions where you wouldn’t expect a compact to perform.
The 2.0L delivers 158 horsepower and 138 lb.-ft. of torque, and the 1.5L makes 174 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, most of the time.
In the Sport Touring Hatchback, you’re getting 162 lb.-ft. of torque and 180 horsepower, and in the Si you’re getting a hefty 205 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque.
We don’t want to bog you down in the details, but the difference comes down to how these engines are implemented. It’s the same motor under every hood, but the Si comes packed with an LSD. Short version: An LSD pushes more power into the wheels. If you want to learn more, Motor Biscuit has a pretty good write-up on the subject.
The LX Hatchback is the cheapest way to get behind the wheel of a turbo, but the Sport Touring Hatchback is a little more powerful, and the Si Sedan and Coupe are the sportiest 2017 Civics available.
How Fuel Efficient is a 2017 Honda Civic?
The Civic only offers two engines, and they both draw from a 12.4-gallon fuel tank, but there are four different levels of performance, so there are four different levels of fuel efficiency.
The 2.0L averages 31/40 mpg city/highway. The 1.5L averages 30/39 mpg city/highway in most trims, 28/38 mpg city/highway in the LSD-enabled Si, and 30/36 mpg city highway in the Sport Touring Hatchback.
These are assuming that you’re driving with a CVT. With the manual transmission, you’re going to be burning a little more fuel. Ease into the pedal in an LX Coupe, and you should have no problem averaging 31/40 mpg city/highway. Treat your 205 horsepower Si like a muscle car, and your fuel expenses will reflect that.
How Does a 2017 Honda Civic Perform?
The Honda Civic tends to sell somewhere in the area of 350,000 units each year, with 2017 setting an all-time record at 377,286. A big part of the car’s popularity is that there really is a Civic for everyone. The sportier hatchbacks and Si models are awesome for the driver who loves the feel of a zippy turbo engine, while the humble LX Sedan is perfect for the family driver who’s more interested in efficiency and safety than 0-60 times.
At the very peak of performance, there’s the Honda Civic Type R, but the Type R is a different beast entirely. Within the standard Civic lineup, the quarter-mile king is the Si Coupe, according to Zero to 60 Times. The Si Coupe’s 205 horsepower 1.5L turbo engine hits 60 mph in 6.3 seconds, crossing the drag-strip finish line at 14.8 seconds. The sedan is just a hair slower, given its heavier weight, at 6.4 and 15 seconds even, and the Sport 1.5T Hatchback comes in at 6.9 and 15.3 seconds.
2017 Honda Civic: Dimensions & Cargo Space
Across the three available styles of 2017 Honda Civic, you have some obvious differences in the exterior dimensions and some subtle distinctions in the interior. For instance, the hatchback has a full inch of headroom over the coupe, which has nearly an inch of headroom over the sedan.
In terms of cargo space, you get 12.1 cu. ft. in the coupe, 15.1 cu. ft. in the sedan, and the hatchback gives you 25.7 cu. ft. with the seats up and 46.2 cu. ft. with the seats down. Ground clearance is about five inches give or take a millimeter, and depends on trim and body style.
The sedan is the longest by more than half a foot over the coupe, and the hatchback is the tallest by about an inch over the sedan. The coupe is the smallest overall, but they’re all pretty manageable in terms of size. The Civic is the very definition of a compact car. As long as you’re willing to move the Halloween decorations out of the way, there’s no reason your garage shouldn’t fit a Civic.
No matter the style and trim level, you have seating for five. The coupe can get a little tight with five adults, though. If you’re making your selection based on interior space, then the sedan is your best bet if you’re going to be carrying a lot of people. The hatchback is the go-to if you’re going to be moving a lot of cargo.
How Safe is a 2017 Honda Civic?
The 2017 Honda Civic earned a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in its debut year. The Top Safety Pick award comes in right under the Top Safety Pick+, which rarely goes out to compacts, but did go out to that year’s CR-V, Honda’s flagship SUV, which shares the same platform as the Civic.
The IIHS tested a 2017 sedan and gave the car near-perfect scores across the board. In every category, with a few exceptions, the car earned a G, for Good, their highest rating.
Those exceptions included driver head and leg protection, which both earned an A for Acceptable, an A for rear passenger leg protection, a P for Poor on headlights, and an A on child seat anchors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) backed these findings up with perfect scores in every single category. Front-impact, side-impact, rollover, passenger side, driver side, front seats, rear seats, everything earned five out of five stars. This actually puts the Civic above the CR-V in terms of safety (according to the NHTSA), as the top-heavy SUV only scored four stars for rollover. Between that and the Top Safety Pick from the IIHS, this is about as safe as a compact gets.
2017 Honda Civic’s Tech Features
One of the many things drivers love about the Civic is the fact that Honda doesn’t hide all the good tech behind the higher trim levels. In the LX trim, you get your basic AM/FM radio with four speakers and a five-inch LCD screen with Bluetooth and USB audio input. In the EX and up, you get a seven-inch display and HondaLink, Apple Carplay, Android Auto, and some slick, illuminated, steering-wheel-mounted controls for the radio.
The EX-L adds the option of Honda HD digital traffic real-time display, the Si adds a nine-speaker performance speaker set, and the Sport Touring Hatchback bumps that to 11 speakers and voice activation. You can find more robust entertainment features in luxury-oriented compacts, but for a car with a KBB value that maxes out at under $25k, the Civic is pretty generous with the fun stuff.
For safety features, backup cameras are standard on all trim levels, as are your basic safety features like ABS and driveline traction control. The EX trim and up add right-side cameras, the Honda Sensing Suite, and a full package of automated sensor systems to help with lane assist, collision avoidance, and parking.
From the EX level and up, you also add key fob controls with remote engine start and cargo access.
2017 Honda Civic: Exterior & Interior Color Options
Exterior Colors
At a time when car colors are becoming, let’s face it, kind of boring, the 2017 Civic keeps the faith with the eye-catching Energy Green Pearl, the regal Aegean Blue Metallic, and classic Rallye Red. You have your basic grays, blacks, off-whites, and earth tones to hide dirt, too, but it’s nice having the option of a sportier color without having to sandblast and repaint your Civic.
Interior Colors
The 2017 Honda Civic’s interior color options are pretty basic monochromes ranging from white to black and various two-tone schemes.
LX/EX/EXT/EX-L/Touring Sedan
- Black
- Gray
- Ivory
LX/LX-P/EX-T/EX-L/Touring Coupe
- Black/Gray

2017 Honda Civic Reviews from Then & Now
What Critics Say
Car reviewers are usually pretty eager to get their hands on a new Civic, especially when they’re lucky enough to be assigned one of the sportier trims, like Tony Markovich at Car and Driver, who reviewed a Sport Touring Hatchback with a one-speed CVT back in April of 2017.
Noting that Sport and Touring are usually two very different trim levels, Markovich praises Honda for managing to, “reconcile these seeming incongruities … combining fun to drive, comfort, ease of use, and practicality in one package.”
If the Sport Touring’s one-speed transmission is a turnoff for you, you’re not alone. Markovich admits that while he tends to, “prefer a manual transmission for vehicles with the word sport in their names … Honda’s CVT is one of the best currently on the market, and it is a willing partner in getting the engine to rev and is responsive to throttle applications across the rev range.”
Putting the hatchback through a full range of tests, Markovich found that the Civic passed with flying colors, “with the firm and progressive pedal returning a stop two feet shorter than did the [VW] Golf” in the brake test. It hit 60 mph in 6.8 seconds in the acceleration test, showcasing, “exemplary road manners, with quick and light steering that helps the car feel nimble.”
2017 Civic EX-T is Stylish and Offers Great Ride Quality
Aaron Cole at The Car Connection gave the car an overall rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10, with an eight for styling, seven for performance, and seven for comfort and quality. Cole calls the EX-T a worthwhile upgrade, leading his review off with a trim-level recommendation: “It’s hard to argue against the EX-T package. Turbo engine, a few creature comforts, and the same great available safety package for just a few hundred dollars more. Splurge on that, you won’t be sorry.”
Cole praises the car’s styling, especially the newly-redesigned hatchback, “which adds its own flair from the rear doors back. It won’t be for everyone, we’ll admit, but it is distinctive and ultra-aggressive.” Admittedly, some drivers do find the hatchback look a bit clunky, but if you’re a fan of sporty compacts, you know that the unassuming rear-heavy appearance is usually hiding a potent little turbo under the hood.
Further praise went to the roomy interior in the sedan model, with Cole saying, “Civic sedans will hold four adults comfortably without sacrificing interior space … Although it typically competes against compact cars, the Civic is anything but.”
Cole liked the smooth ride, pointing out, “In upper trims, the Civic benefits greatly from hydraulic rear bushings in its rear suspension that soaks up bouncy roads and keeps the Civic pointed in the right direction during spirited driving.” If you live rurally but you want something besides a full-size truck for your daily driver, an FWD Civic isn’t a bad choice.
1.5L Turbo is a Potent Engine for its Size; 2017 Civic Interior is Luxurious
In his video review, Micah Muzio at KBB calls the 2017 Civic, “weirdly free from compromises,” with, “fun, even sporty handling.” Muzio admits that his review is an unabashed “Honda lovefest,” but he backs all that praise up with some solid insights and a fair assessment of the car.
He recommends the 1.5L turbo found in the hatchbacks and most sedan and coupe Civics, calling it, “a tiny little overachiever. It returns laudable fuel economy and stout, turbo-lag-free acceleration, thanks in part to the very smooth-operating continuously variable transmission it’s partnered with.”
The interior earns some praise for its old-school dash layout, simple controls, and clean, streamlined aesthetic. Sedan leg and headroom get some high marks, and Micah ultimately concludes that the interior is, “anything but low budget.” He did criticize the lack of a manual volume knob, “but we very much appreciate the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and a clear, seven-inch display on all but the lowest LX trim.”
Recent Reviews of the 2017 Honda Civic
Reviewing a 100k Si Sedan with a six-speed manual transmission in early 2021, Kim at YouTube’s Exhaust Sports Auto admits to being a bit of a Honda fanboy. He’s excited to check the 205 horsepower compact out after four years of regular use, and right away he has high praise for the car, stating, “[the 2017 Civic] certainly gets up and goes.”
Kim admits some reliability issues based on recalls and complaints, and some issues he’s had with Hondas in the past, stating, “I definitely recommend you getting a warranty with this vehicle, as I believe there is a recall with the accelerator, and there’s also an electronic parking brake malfunction that can happen and some various other electric issues that can go wrong.” Beyond this, he has very little to say about the car that isn’t glowingly positive.
He likes the easy to operate shifter, predictable clutch, the nice torque-y feel of acceleration, and considers the Civic to be one of the best cars on the market for a first-time driver.
He does find the sport-mode steering to be pretty marginal, and confesses that there’s more road noise in a Honda than you’ll get in a comparable Mazda, but he loves the overall driving experience and has very little criticism for the car in general.
Majority of Vehicle History Real Owner Reviews are Five Stars
To really know what to expect out of any vehicle, you’ve got to check in with the people who actually put their hard-earned money down on this thing and who drive it every day. So, what are the owners at Vehicle History saying about the 2017 Honda Civic?
Owner reviews rate the car 4.61 stars out of a possible five. Of those, 69% are a solid five stars, 25% have four stars, 5% have three stars, and 1% each are one- and two-star reviews. This is based on a total of 1,367 reviews.
- Checking out the five-star reviews, Jennifer E. reports in June 2021 that she loves how comfortable the car is, and, “I love that there’s a camera to help back up or change lanes.” While the hatchback isn’t exactly a moving van, it’s spacious enough for light-duty hauling: ” … my husband was allowed to put the back seats down so he could move big stuff to our new house.”
- Another five-star reviewer, Scott A., reports in June 2021 of his EX Sedan, “I have had the civic for three years now and [have had] zero issues, just normal maintenance.” Again, comfort is key: “The car seats four comfortably and I get over 40 mpg on the highway and over 30 city.”
- A three-star review from Leticia T., reporting in June 2021 on her EX-T Sedan, says, “It is okay not the best car.” She doesn’t hate it, but she deals with snow on a regular basis and says, “I really like how efficient it is, but I need a bigger car to handle the snow.” While the 2017 Civic isn’t exactly a wimp on broken roads, it might not be the best car if you deal with a lot of mud and snow.
A small handful of disappointed drivers aside, if you were to read a dozen reviews of the 2017 Civic aloud, you’d start to sound like a broken record: Most drivers love how it feels to drive it, the efficient mileage, the spacious rear of the hatchback, the tight handling of the sporty trim levels, and the creature comforts of the luxury models.
Is a 2017 Honda Civic Easy to Maintain?
It’s not just the sticker price that makes the Honda Civic one of the most budget-friendly cars on the market today. According to Repair Pal, the 2017 Civic costs just $290 a year in annual maintenance expenses. That comes out to less than $25 a month, not even a dollar a day.
Repair Pal puts the average repair cost for the Civic at anywhere from $261 to $319. That’s repairs, not regular maintenance. With regular oil changes and tire rotations, it’s not uncommon for a Civic to go years between major repairs.
One of the more costly repairs is actually a sunroof motor replacement, which starts at $733. It’s nice having an automatic sunroof, but it’s comforting to know that the priciest common repair for the Civic is an inessential component.
Repair Pal gives the Civic an overall rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible five, and ranks it third out of 36 for most reliable compact cars. This is based on the severity and frequency of repairs needed for the car.
If you’re curious as to what beats out the Civic on Repair Pal‘s Top 10 list, that would be the Toyota Corolla and the Kia Forte5 in first and second, respectively. Honda is also at the top of Repair Pal’s list of most reliable automakers.
Known Issues in the 2017 Honda Civic
So, the 2017 Honda Civic is cheap and easy to take care of as long as nothing really goes wrong. As it’s pretty reliable, things are unlikely to go wrong. Still, sometimes things do go wrong. So what do you need to be on the lookout for?
The car has had four recalls so far with the NHTSA. The first was on November 9, 2017, addressing a right half shaft that was prone to break due to improper heat treatment in 5,404 units. This only affected sedans and coupes. An even smaller recall, affecting 69 Hatchbacks and Type Rs, saw seat-mounted airbags potentially failing to deploy. This recall was issued on April 26, 2018.
Another minor recall had a magnet potentially coming dislodged in the power steering mechanisms of 54 Civics and CR-Vs, and was addressed on September 27, 2018. Finally, there was a misprint in the owners’ manuals that affected 7,016 Hatchbacks and Type Rs, and it was addressed November 16, 2018.
Given that the Civic sold over 377,000 units in 2017, the odds that you are affected by these recalls is slim. However, as recall repairs are at Honda’s expense, and each is redeemable for the lifetime of the car, with or without a valid warranty, the Civic is a safe pick. Regardless, make sure to run any used vehicle’s VIN to see if any recalls are still open.
The 2017 Civic has no investigations on file with the NHTSA, but it does have 241 user complaints, with the vast majority of those pointing to a random assortment of electronic failures. The most common of these include the air conditioner blowing hot air when set to cold, the car switching into accessory mode for no reason, and error codes flashing on the dashboard out of nowhere.
With fewer than one driver in 1,000 reporting these problems to the NHTSA, the issues may be rare, but the extra money you spend on a CPO with a warranty is typically going to save you the difference and then some if you have to complete any of these repairs.
2017 Honda Civic vs. the Competition
The Honda Civic may have built a reliable name for itself, but it’s not the only game in town, and some models are even more competitive in certain areas.
In this next section, we’ll compare the 2017 Civic to the same-year Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and Kia Forte.
2017 Honda Civic vs. 2017 Toyota Corolla
The 2017 Toyota Corolla is a very affordable alternative to the Honda Civic, with the priciest model being the XSE, which is estimated to peak at under $20k for a CPO, per KBB. However, that XSE tops out at 132 horsepower, while a Civic Si gets 205 horsepower.
This isn’t to dismiss the Corolla. It gets a respectable 28/36 mpg city/highway, and features like advanced voice recognition come standard in the base L trim level. Still, a Civic has a reputation for being fun to drive that the Corolla lacks.
To see a more detailed side-by-side comparison between these vehicles, check out this Vehicle History coverage.
2017 Honda Civic vs. 2017 Hyundai Elantra
If you like Hondas, you probably like Hyundais. Both brands have a reputation for zippy, fuel-efficient little compacts that feel more expensive than they are.
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra is a great budget model, starting at $14,467 for a 173 horsepower, 2.0L I4 Base. The price actually goes down from there, not up, with the 128 horsepower, 32/40 mpg city/highway, 1.4L turbo ECO trim costing barely over $14k.
Make no mistake, it truly is a great budget car, but it’s proudly basic, a totally stripped-down, A-to-B-mobile. It’s not really intended as serious competition for the Civic.
To see a more detailed side-by-side comparison between these vehicles, check out this Vehicle History coverage.
2017 Honda Civic vs. 2017 Kia Forte
An SX level 2017 Kia Forte comes very close to competing with the Civic Si in terms of performance. It gives you 201 horsepower, 195 lb.-ft. of torque, and luxury interior features like heated and ventilated front bucket seats and sport leather trim, all for less than $18k for a CPO model.
A base LX Forte is the cheapest car on this list, starting at just under $13k for used, or $15k for a CPO, with a 147 horsepower, 2.0L I4 engine, but not much extras. Like the Elantra, the base trim level is very basic. Unlike the Elantra, you can upgrade to a much more impressive model without breaking the bank.

Is the 2017 Honda Civic a Good Car to Buy?
If you’re a Honda fan, we hardly need to sell you on this car. The 10th-generation Civic is considered a classic era for the nameplate, and the 2017 in particular, with its 1.5L turbo engine, is a gearhead favorite.
From the sporty coupes and hatchbacks to the family-size sedans, from the base LX to the high-end Si and Sport Touring, there’s truly a Civic for every driver, no matter your budget.
The 2017 Civic is absolutely a good car to buy in the compact class, and if you’ve made it this far, you likely agree.
