If you're in the market for a reliable, fuel-efficient compact sedan without breaking the bank, this 2021 Honda Civic LX Sedan for sale at CARTIME II in South Gate, California deserves a serious look. Finished in a clean Gray exterior, this four-door sedan carries 107,224 miles — respectable numbers for a Honda Civic that's widely known for pushing well past 200,000 miles with routine maintenance. At $16,995, it represents the kind of value that buyers across the Los Angeles area come looking for.

About This 2021 Honda Civic LX Sedan

The tenth-generation Honda Civic was a genuine turning point for the nameplate — sharper styling, a more refined interior, and dramatically improved driving dynamics compared to its predecessors. This 2021 model sits in the final year of that generation, meaning Honda had already sorted out any early production quirks. At just over 107,000 miles, this Civic is well into its working life but nowhere near its ceiling. For Honda Civic buyers, mid-mileage simply means the engine has been broken in properly.

The Gray exterior gives this sedan a polished, understated look that ages well and hides everyday road dust better than lighter colors. Whether you're commuting down the 710 freeway or navigating surface streets through Huntington Park, Lynwood, or Compton, this car handles city driving with ease.

2021 Honda Civic LX Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Civic runs Honda's naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with i-VTEC technology. In LX trim, this engine produces 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque — a smooth, linear powerband that suits everyday commuting perfectly. Paired with Honda's CVT automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, you get an experience that's quiet at highway speeds and responsive in stop-and-go traffic.

The i-VTEC system is one of Honda's most proven technologies, optimizing valve timing across different RPM ranges for both performance and efficiency. Real-world fuel economy typically lands around 30 MPG city and 38 MPG highway, which goes a long way in a city where fuel prices run high. The CVT may not feel sporty, but it keeps the engine in its ideal operating range, which also contributes to long-term engine longevity.

Honda Civic LX Features and Interior

The LX trim is Honda's entry-level Civic configuration, but don't mistake that for stripped-down. Honda equips the LX with a meaningful standard feature set that covers everything most daily drivers actually need.
 

Technology and Connectivity

The 2021 Civic LX comes with a 5-inch display audio system, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, and two USB ports — straightforward connectivity that works without unnecessary complexity. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not included at this trim level, but Bluetooth audio integration keeps your phone accessible.
 

Safety and Driver Assistance

Even the base LX benefits from Honda Sensing, Honda's comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. This includes Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control — safety features that were considered premium just a few years prior. Rear visibility is covered by a standard backup camera.

Comfort and Practicality

Inside, you'll find a cloth interior, automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that opens the trunk to 428 liters of total cargo space. It's a thoughtfully laid-out cabin that doesn't feel compromised at this price point.

Honda Civic Reliability and Ownership

The Honda Civic consistently earns some of the highest long-term reliability scores in the compact car segment. J.D. Power, Consumer Reports, and owner communities across the board recognize this generation of Civic as one of Honda's strongest efforts. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine in the LX is particularly well-regarded — it avoids the turbocharged complexity of the 1.5T found in higher trims and has a track record of durability that stretches across hundreds of thousands of miles when properly maintained.

Common maintenance items at this mileage include spark plugs, air filter replacement, and brake fluid service — all relatively inexpensive services. Timing chain (not a belt) means no expensive scheduled timing replacement. If the car has been maintained on Honda's recommended service intervals, buyers should feel confident about what they're getting into.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2021 Honda Civic LX a good buy at 107,000 miles?

Yes — the 2021 Honda Civic LX with 107,224 miles is a reasonable purchase for buyers who understand Honda's long-term durability. This generation of Civic with the 2.0-liter engine routinely reaches 200,000 miles or more with proper care. At this mileage, the engine is well broken in and major wear items should be known quantities. A pre-purchase inspection is always a good idea, but the Civic's reputation makes it one of the safer bets at this mileage in its class.
 

What does the 2021 Honda Civic LX trim include?

The LX is the base trim of the Civic lineup, but it's well-equipped for daily driving. It includes Honda Sensing safety suite (adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation braking), a backup camera, Bluetooth connectivity, automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a 5-inch display audio system. It does not include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or a sunroof — those features appear in higher trims.
 

How many miles is too many for a Honda Civic?

For most compact cars, 100,000 miles raises eyebrows. For a Honda Civic, it barely qualifies as halfway done. With documented maintenance and no major mechanical issues, a Civic at 100,000 to 130,000 miles can offer many years of reliable service. The key factors are service history, condition of wear items like brakes and tires, and whether the car has been used in harsh conditions. The Civic's 2.0-liter engine is especially durable due to its naturally aspirated design.
 

What is the fuel economy of the 2021 Honda Civic LX?

The 2021 Honda Civic LX with the 2.0-liter CVT automatic is EPA-rated at approximately 30 MPG city and 38 MPG highway, with a combined rating around 32-33 MPG. In real-world Los Angeles driving — a mix of stop-and-go surface streets and freeway miles — most drivers report fuel economy in the 28 to 34 MPG range depending on conditions.
 

Does the 2021 Honda Civic LX have Honda Sensing?

Yes. Honda made Honda Sensing standard across all 2021 Civic trims, including the LX. This suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow. It's a meaningful safety advantage that makes the LX more competitive than its base-trim designation might suggest.
