The 25 Best Japanese Sports Cars Ever Made

20. Honda Civic Si

The Honda Civic Si has been in production for close to 20 continuous years. Taking the popular Honda Civic and giving the motor a small upgrade, Honda’s target market for the Si are people who are on a budget that want to be able to go as fast as their funding will allow them to. The Si models feature a powerful four-cylinder engine under the hood and a number of small aesthetic changes to set it apart from the normal Honda Civic. The Si is one of the vehicles that started the sport compact performance craze and created an army of loyal Honda fans who clamor for the newest version every few years. It is possible that the popularity of the Si here in America has led to Honda reconsidering releasing the turbocharged Civic Type R.
