2004 Honda Civic Review

Economy without sacrifice.
Lineup
Honda Civics come in three body styles: four-door sedan, two-door coupe, and the Si three-door hatchback. Sedans and coupes are available in DX, LX, and EX trim. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all models. A four-speed automatic transmission ($800) is optional on the LX and EX models.

Civic DX and LX are powered by a 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine rated 115 horsepower. The DX has wind-up windows and manual locks; it lacks air conditioning and comes only as a four-door sedan. A new Value Package (VP) for the DX adds air conditioning, CD player, power locks, and center console. LX adds air conditioning, 15-inch (rather than 14-inch) steel wheels, anti-roll bars front and rear, power-operated controls, a height-adjustable driver's seat, remote keyless entry, a CD player, and other luxury features.

Civic EX models get more power from a 127-horsepower VTEC version of the 1.7-liter engine. EX also gets 15-inch aluminum wheels, body-colored power mirrors, upgraded audio with six speakers, and a tilt-and-slide glass sunroof.

Civic Si is only available as a hatchback and the hatchback is only available as an Si. Civic Si comes with a high-output 2.0-liter engine with i-VTEC (for variable valve timing with intelligence) rated 160 horsepower. Si comes with a five-speed manual and is not available with an automatic.

Prices range from $13,010 for a DX sedan to $15,160 for an LX coupe to $17,260 for an EX sedan to $19,000 for the Si.

Specialty Civics are available as well. The HX coupe ($13,710) comes with highly fuel-efficient lean-burn engine that gets up to 44 mpg and achieves an impressive 117 horsepower. Civic HX comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, but a continuously variable automatic transmission, or CVT, is optional ($1,000).

The Civic Hybrid represents the ultimate in environmental responsibility, using a small gas engine and a big electric motor to achieve up to 51 mpg. The Hybrid ($19,650) is equipped comparably to the EX sedan with a five-speed manual transmission. It's also available with a CVT automatic ($20,650).

The Civic GX sedan comes with natural gas-powered engine, which the government rates as a SULEV, or super ultra low-emissions vehicle. It produces 100 horsepower.

Options are limited. Side-impact air bags ($250) are optional on all models and standard on the Hybrid. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard on EX, Si, and Hybrid, optional on GX, and unavailable on other models. Next Page
