The quickest Honda Civic on record is the 2004 Honda Civic Advanced Engine Management Si 3-door Hatchback, which runs 0–60 mph in 4.5 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.70 seconds at 113.3 mph.
The slowest recorded Honda Civic is the 1975 Honda Civic CVCC 3-door Hatchback, which takes 17.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 21.00 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 173 verified runs, a Honda Civic reaches 60 mph in 8.03 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.04 seconds at roughly 88.7 mph.
We have verified test data for 36 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every
verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Honda Civic can do, not a single marketing claim.
