If you've been searching for a 2016 Honda Civic EX-T Sedan for sale in Yakima, WA, this blue four-door is worth a serious look. Available now at Own A Car Yakima, this Civic is priced at $15,999 with 133,845 miles — and if you know anything about Hondas, you know that number doesn't tell the whole story.

About This 2016 Honda Civic EX-T Sedan

The tenth-generation Civic was a game-changer when Honda launched it in 2015, and the 2016 model year represents one of the most complete redesigns in Honda's history. This particular EX-T trim in blue sits in a sweet spot — above the base LX but loaded with features that matter to real drivers. At 133,845 miles, this Civic is solidly in its middle chapter, not the end. With proper maintenance, these engines routinely push 200,000 miles and beyond.

For a buyer in the Yakima Valley looking for a reliable daily driver that doesn't drain your wallet at the pump, this is a genuinely smart pick. It's the kind of car that gets you to Selah, Ellensburg, or over the pass to Seattle without drama or anxiety.

2016 Honda Civic Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Honda's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine — a major step forward from the naturally aspirated engines in older Civics. This engine produces around 174 horsepower and delivers strong low-end torque that makes merging on I-82 or climbing grades toward Snoqualmie Pass feel confident and responsive.

Paired with a CVT automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, the Civic delivers a smooth, predictable driving experience. The CVT can feel unfamiliar to drivers used to traditional automatics, but it's tuned well in this generation — Honda engineered it to feel more natural than most, and it contributes directly to the Civic's impressive fuel economy, which averages around 31 city and 42 highway.

Honda Civic EX-T Features and Interior

Technology and Comfort

The EX-T trim level is where Honda started adding the features buyers actually want. This Civic comes equipped with a turbocharged engine as standard (the "T" in EX-T designates exactly that), and the trim includes Honda Sensing — a suite of active safety technologies that includes collision mitigation braking, lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control.

Cabin Experience

Inside, the tenth-gen Civic interior was widely praised at launch for feeling genuinely premium for the segment. You get a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a backup camera, push-button start, a sunroof, and LaneWatch — Honda's right-side blind-spot camera system. The seating position is comfortable, rear legroom is class-competitive, and the overall fit and finish punches above the car's price point.

Honda Civic Reliability and Ownership

Honda Civics have earned their reputation honestly. The tenth generation in particular scores well with long-term owners who report low maintenance costs, durable powertrains, and interiors that hold up over time. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports both rated the 2016 Civic highly in initial quality and predicted reliability.

One thing worth knowing: some early 2016 Civic owners reported oil dilution concerns with the 1.5T engine in cold climates, particularly in extremely cold regions. Yakima's climate is relatively mild compared to true northern winters, which reduces that risk considerably. Overall, this engine has proven durable when serviced regularly with quality oil. Expect standard maintenance costs — oil changes, brakes, tires — and very few surprises if the car has been cared for.
