Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Honda Civic Sedan

5. Better value

While the base price of the Civic has been bumped up, the extra features and refinement come at no significant price premium, with the 2013 Civic LX costing just $180 over the 2012 Civic LX model. That’s a fair price to pay for a quieter, responsive and better equipped Civic, and ultimately why the new 2013 Civic is such a solid refresh over the 2012 model.
