Honda Civic
On paper at least, the Honda Civic has always been the thinking person’s hatchback in South Africa, parking itself right in the crosshairs of the Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3. Yet, if you’re browsing local listings today, it’s slim pickings — just five used Civics up for grabs, priced from R69,500 to R239,500, with a sweet spot sitting around R118,500. That’s a massive gap for such a tiny pool, which should set off your “buyer beware” radar about overall condition and spec. Every one of these cars comes with the tried-and-tested 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, and you’ll find manual, automatic, or the quirky semi-auto transmissions, depending on your luck. There’s no new stock, and that matters, because if you want a Civic in 2024, you’re strictly shopping second-hand. The two 1.8 Elegance CVTs are the most expensive at R205,900 and R239,500, which tells you they’re likely the best-kept cars in the bunch. Down at R69,500, the 1.8 EXi automatic is honest about its age and mileage — these are cars nudging 165,000 km, so you can expect well-worn seats and the odd rattle over Joburg potholes. Still, the i-VTEC is what the Civic should have been from the start: smooth, eager, and more rewarding than any Corolla of its vintage. Cabin materials have aged surprisingly well, especially compared to other Japanese options of the era. Just don’t fool yourself — you’re not buying a museum piece, you’re buying a car that’s seen its fair share of Gauteng commutes. If you pack smart and budget for TLC, there’s still value to be had.
Honda
Honda’s not trying to dazzle you with flash or lure you with badge envy. Instead, it’s carved out a space for buyers who care about honest value, reliability, and not spending half their life at the mechanic. Think of it as the thinking person’s alternative to a Toyota or Suzuki—just as dependable, less shouty about it. With 79 listings currently live, prices range widely from R69,500 to R509,900, but most stock settles in that R140k-to-R260k band where families and first-time buyers are actually shopping. Only 9 of those are new, which isn’t a surprise if you’ve tried to find a Honda dealership outside the big cities, but the used scene is alive because owners hang onto these cars for years before letting them go. On paper at least, the HR-V is the star here with 12 listings, including a handful that touch the R509,900 ceiling for the latest versions. The Jazz, though, is the real hero—versatile, affordable (from R86,500 to R258,800), and the sort of hatch you’d hand down instead of trade in. The Amaze sedan covers those who want a boot rather than a clever rear seat, with prices between R213,500 and R297,100. CR-V covers the “school run plus road trip” crowd, topping out at R256,900. If you’re looking for diesel, move along—petrol is king here. In a market crowded with rivals, Honda’s edge is simple: the cars last, and that matters. Owners don’t need convincing, and that’s the point.
