5. 1972 Honda Civic

global.honda

Did you know that the Honda Civic models are amongst the most popular cars in the world? Yet this would not be the case if Japanese manufacturer Honda did not release the 1972 Honda Civic. This compact sedan has managed to become one of the most easily identifiable cars in the global auto industry. 

The Honda 1972 might not have been a flashy sportscar with the fastest speeds or a rugged SUV. Still, it was a durable, affordable, and economical vehicle suited to families and business professionals. Due to this, the 1972 Honda Civic became Honda’s first commercially successful vehicle. Arguably without the Civic, the company might not be as successful as it is today. 

This three-door trapezoidal style hatchback model had some impressive features, capabilities, and specifications, some of which include a four-wheel independent strut suspension system, a 1.1-liter engine, a four-speed manual transmission, and a top speed of roughly 96 mph.

During the 1990s, there was perhaps no better rally car than the 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STi. There were only 400 of these vehicles manufactured for the Japanese market, and every single one of them sold within 48 hours of the cars being placed for sale. 

However, an extra 24 22B STi’s were manufactured for the export market, where most were sold to the United Kingdom. Due to their rarity, they are quite sought after, and when they do go up for sale, they can be incredibly pricey. 

The 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STi was fitted with a powerful 2.4 liter EJ22G engine capable of producing 276 horsepower. It was also fairly lightweight at approximately 2,744 pounds. Additionally, this vehicle reached 62 mph in 4.6 seconds and managed a top speed of 157 mph.
