Honda Civic Extended Warranty FAQ
New Honda Civics come with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Once expired, all repair costs are your responsibility. An Athena extended warranty extends protection well beyond that.
The Civic's CVT is generally reliable, but failures can occur between 80,000–150,000 miles, especially under hard use or with inconsistent fluid changes. CVT replacement costs $3,500–$5,500, which makes warranty coverage highly valuable.
Most Honda Civic model years with a clean title and under 150,000 miles at enrollment are eligible, including popular 9th, 10th, and 11th generation models. Contact us for a specific eligibility check.
