Year to Year Changes
2002 Honda Civic:
A sporty new Si hatchback joined the Civic lineup for 2002, packing a 160-horsepower engine and measuring 9 inches shorter than other body styles. Offered only with a manual transmission, the performance-focused Si came with antilock braking, electric-assist power steering, a sport suspension, and a sunroof. Front side airbags were optional. Regular coupes and sedans got suspension revisions to improve ride and handling, as well as additional sound insulation.
2003 Honda Civic:
Changes were modest for 2003. Most Civics got new gauges, and the HX and LX gained a CD player as standard equipment. The LX joined the EX as the only Civic models with a height-adjustable driver's seat. EX coupes adopted alloy wheels and sedans gained restyled taillights. A Civic Hybrid sedan with a gasoline-electric powertrain joined the lineup as an early 2003 model. Honda had introduced a two-passenger Insight hybrid previously.
2004 Honda Civic:
All Civics get revised front and rear styling this year. Also, LX models get standard keyless entry and 15-inch wheels to replace 14s. EX models get standard alloy wheels, and the Hybrid joins the LX and EX as the only models that offer a height-adjustable driver seat.
2005 Honda Civic:
No changes were made on Civic in 2005, but expect a redesigned Civic for 2006.
