6. Honda Civic
The first generation Honda Civic arrived in July 1972 as a shortbacked 2-door, followed by a 3-door hatchback in in November 1972.
The Civic has since then gone through seven more revisions and has turned out to be a huge hit amongst car lovers.
The car has till date sold over 16.5 million (1.65 crore) units. Honda Civic is available in India too and is perhaps the best looking car on India roads currently. Its 1800cc engine that makes 130 bhp at a rather high 6300 rpm, and torque at 17.9 kgm at 4300 rpm is higher than that of the Toyota Corolla.
