Best and Worst Honda Civic 5Dr Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 6 Honda Civic 5Dr model years from 2017 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 471 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2021 — 145 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2020 — 226 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2019 — 346 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2017 — 597 complaints, 6 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2018 — 596 complaints, 6 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
