An October poll of over 1,100 18-39 year olds has revealed that ‘geek chic’ cars are becoming more and more desirable. Respondents were asked to rank ten old cars and the Honda Civic (2001-2003) came out on top with the Ford Sierra and Ford Capri coming in a close second and third respectively.

Honda Civic 2001 -2003. Ford Sierra, Ford Capri, Land Rover Defender, Mercedes G wagon, Vauxhall Cavalier, Citroën DS, Austin Mini Countryman, Citroën DS, British Leyland Maxi
