1. Honda Civic Si (EF, 1989-1991)
The EF-generation Honda Civic Si stands as a shining example of a car that transformed from accessible tuner to collectible gold.
Its lightweight chassis and high-revving 1.6-liter engine delivered nimble handling and infectious driving fun, earning it a loyal fanbase among enthusiasts.
Back in the day, the Civic Si was a bargain—ideal for modifications and weekend canyon runs.
But as time passed, clean, unmolested examples became increasingly scarce.
Now, collectors pay top dollar for pristine models, with prices rising sharply in recent years.
As Hagerty notes, the EF Si is finally getting the respect—and value—it deserves.
