What the numbers say

A 2021 Honda Civic Type R still asks 60% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 37 sedans we price, that ranks #18, above the 59% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 3 (−35.2%), after which losses ease to about 9.7% a year. Mileage costs it 31%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 64 listings.
