2017 HONDA CIVIC

If you're searching for a reliable, fuel-efficient compact sedan at a great value, this 2017 Honda Civic LX Sedan for sale at North West Auto Empire in Kent, Washington is worth a serious look. With 82,371 miles on the odometer and a clean, attractive gray exterior, this Civic represents exactly the kind of dependable daily driver that Pacific Northwest buyers count on — practical, affordable, and built to last well beyond six figures.

About This 2017 Honda Civic LX Sedan

The tenth-generation Honda Civic earned near-universal praise when it arrived, and the 2017 model year sits squarely in that generation's sweet spot. At just over 82,000 miles, this Civic is well within the range where owners can realistically expect many more years of low-maintenance, dependable service. Honda's engineering philosophy prioritizes longevity, and with routine maintenance, a Civic like this one is a genuinely long-term ownership proposition. The gray exterior gives it a clean, understated look that holds up well over time and hides the minor everyday wear that comes with Pacific Northwest driving conditions.

2017 Honda Civic Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Civic LX is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with Honda's i-VTEC technology — a system that intelligently varies valve timing to balance power delivery with fuel efficiency. This engine produces around 158 horsepower and pairs with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that keeps the powerband smooth and responsive whether you're merging onto I-5, navigating SR-167 through Kent, or making your daily commute through King County traffic. Front-wheel drive keeps the car stable and predictable, and the CVT is well-tuned enough that most drivers quickly forget the old stigma around CVT transmissions entirely.

Real-world fuel economy with this setup is impressive — expect somewhere in the range of 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, which makes this Civic a genuinely economical choice for Washington drivers who are tired of frequent stops at the pump.

Honda Civic LX Features and Interior

The LX is the entry-level Civic trim, but Honda didn't cut corners where it counts. Inside, you'll find a comfortable, well-designed cabin that was a significant step forward when this generation debuted. The interior features a 5-inch LCD display, a rearview camera for added confidence when backing in tight parking situations, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming, and a four-speaker audio system.

Physical climate controls make it easy to dial in the temperature without menu diving, and Honda's ergonomic layout means everything falls naturally to hand. The rear seat offers genuinely usable legroom — more than competitors at the time — making this a practical choice for commuters who occasionally carry passengers.

Honda Civic Reliability and Ownership

The tenth-generation Honda Civic routinely earns top marks from J.D. Power, Consumer Reports, and long-term owner communities alike. Honda's reputation for producing engines that run reliably past 200,000 miles with proper care is well-earned, and the 2.0-liter i-VTEC in the LX trim is one of the simpler, more proven powertrains in the lineup — no turbocharged complexity, just a naturally aspirated engine that responds well to regular oil changes and maintenance.

Common ownership feedback on this generation includes praise for its low cost of ownership, affordable parts availability, and the fact that independent mechanics throughout King County can service it without specialty tools. If you're buying a used car in the greater Seattle area and want something that won't surprise you with repair bills, the 2017 Civic LX is a smart, data-backed choice.

Is 82,000 miles too many for a 2017 Honda Civic?

Not at all. Honda Civics are routinely driven past 200,000 miles when properly maintained. At 82,371 miles, this Civic is solidly in its mid-life phase — broken in and proven, but with substantial life remaining. For a 2017 model year vehicle, this mileage is very typical and should not raise concerns for an informed buyer.

The Civic LX trim includes a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, a 5-inch display, physical climate controls, power windows and locks, and Honda's i-VTEC 2.0-liter engine with CVT transmission.

What is the fuel economy on a 2017 Honda Civic LX with the 2.0-liter engine?

The 2017 Civic LX with the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and CVT is EPA-rated at approximately 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. Real-world mileage may vary depending on driving conditions, but most owners report results very close to those numbers — making it one of the more fuel-efficient options in its class without requiring premium fuel.

Does the 2017 Honda Civic LX have a backup camera?

Yes. The 2017 Honda Civic LX comes standard with a rearview camera, which was a notable inclusion for a base trim at that price point. It displays on the 5-inch center screen and makes parking and reversing significantly easier and safer.
