The 10th generation Civic, launched in 2016, was a significant departure from its predecessor. It featured aggressive, polarizing styling and a more sophisticated chassis across sedan, coupe, and hatchback body styles. This generation is notable for introducing turbocharging to the mainstream Civic lineup with a 1.5L engine, a major step for the traditionally naturally aspirated model.
Collectors and enthusiasts gravitate toward the performance trims. The Si returned with a 205 hp 1.5L turbo engine, a slick 6-speed manual, and a helical limited-slip differential, offering a fantastic performance value. The main attraction, however, is the FK8 Type R. It was the first Civic Type R officially sold in the United States, and it arrived with a 306 hp 2.0L turbo engine, advanced aerodynamics, and a Nürburgring lap record for front-wheel-drive cars.
Today's market is broad, reflecting the car's wide range of trims. The low end consists of early, higher-mileage commuter models, while the high end is dominated by low-mileage Type R examples. While standard models are still depreciating, the Si and Type R have shown strong value retention, with the Type R already being treated as a modern collectible.
Buying Tips
- The 1.5L turbo engine in early models could suffer from fuel mixing with engine oil, known as oil dilution. Check for service records indicating Honda's software fix was applied.
- Air conditioning system failures are common, often due to a faulty condenser. Honda extended the warranty for this part, so verify the AC works and check if the repair has been performed.
- Pre-2019 models feature a touch-only infotainment interface without a physical volume knob. Many users find it frustrating, so consider a 2019 or later model if you prefer physical controls.
- On Type R models, check for the 2nd gear grind issue common on 2017-2018 cars. Also, look for signs of excessive track use, such as heavy wear on brakes, tires, and aftermarket modifications.
Observed prices range from $6,500 for base models up to $34,595 for top-spec Type R variants.
