What the numbers say

A 2021 Honda Civic still asks 87% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 20 sedans we price, that ranks #2, above the 61% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 4 (−15.3%), after which losses ease to about 8.2% a year. Mileage costs it 35%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 4,144 listings.
