#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.
Ford Model T is a 100 years old. It is this iconic vehicle that put the world on wheels.
October 1, 1908 was when the first Ford Model T was made for sale. It was the first low-priced, mass-produced automobile with standard, interchangeable parts.
It had a 20-horsepower, four-cylinder engine with a top speed of about 45 miles per hour. The moving assembly line for the Model T revolutionized manufacturing in 1913.
Henry Ford called the Model T ‘the universal car.’ On December 18, 1999, the Ford Model T was named ‘Car of the Century.’
Since 1908 to 1927, the car sold 16.5 million (1.65 crore) units. Painted black because it was the color that dried the fastest on the assembly lines, Henry Ford told his customers this: �Any customer can have a car painted in any color that he wants so long as it is black.
The Nissan Sunny/Sentra/Pulsar/Tsuru was a bestseller from the Nissan stable and still continues to be available as the Sentra.
It began life in 1966 as the Datsun 1000 and soon became a major rage around the globe.
The car has sold more than 16 million (1.6 crore) units having gone through 10 improvements since its debut.
The Volkswagen Passat has sold over 15 million (1.5 crore) units since 1973 to make it the 9th best selling car ever.
Volkswagen, Europe’s largest car manufacturer, has also debuted in India with the Passat which is loaded with an incredible array of features that are not available in cars that are substantially more expensive.
Each little aspect of the car is thought out and the car is built to standards that are seen only in luxury models. Besides this, the 140 bhp 2.0-litre diesel motor mated to the state-of-the-art DSG gearbox means this is a fantastic car to drive as well. It costs over Rs 24 lakh (Rs 2.4 million) in India.
Lada Riva was a very unlikely bestseller. It has attained almost cult status and is a very a popular car in Russia and Egypt.
In 1966, an agreement between Fiat and the Soviet government was signed to set up a car factory near Moscow. The car to be manufactured here was named the Lada.
The Lada 1200 saloon was first seen in Britain at the 1973 Motor Show and stunned Europe with its low price. Then came various versions and versions of a car that rage amongst buyers.
For the record, the car has sold over 13.5 million (1.35 crore) units till date, although its exports to Europe were stopped in 1997.
