I checked with Thule and they confirmed that the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BV that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2004 Honda Civic EX.
The only limit they put on this rack on your (and every vehicle) is that you should not exceed the 99 lb weight capacity of the rack.
I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out also.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
