THE Ford Fiesta has regained its position as the nation’s best-seller the lastest SMMT figures reveal.
More than 19,600 units of the Ford supermini were sold in March – up from fourth place in February – and these figures also strengthened the Fiesta’s year-to-date registrations – it is now number one in both March sales and year-to-date sales.
The Ford Focus followed in second with 14,370 sales, and sales of 13,556 gave the Vauxhall Corsa third place in the March table.
Fourth place was earned by the Vauxhall Astra with 10,704 sales, while February’s sales winner, the Volkswagen Golf, dropped to fifth place with 10,282 sales.
The Vauxhall Insignia was the third griffin-badged car to get into March’s top ten, registering 7,826, while the Volkswagen Polo and the Peugeot 207 came in seventh and eighth places with 7,634 and 7,189 sales respectively.
The Mini returned to the top ten in March with registrations a little over 7,040, and the BMW 3 Series rounded off the table with 6,103 sales.
