Ford Fiesta
I rarely talk about sales levels on the blog – for me it’s a bit of a no-no. Sure, it’s probably useful information if you’re in the industry, but if you’re on the consumer side of the fence do you really care that a manufacturer sold x amount of cars? Well, this news story is exactly that, due to the figures. Ford has managed to shift 100,000 Fiestas in 2009. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising really. The 2009 Fiesta is an absolutely cracking little car (in fact, it’s not even that little any more), especially in the Titanium Individual guise shown here.
Market leader Ford continues to make progress, raising its share of the car market to 16.2 per cent year to date, a 1.3 percentage point increase on the same period in 2008. Ford’s share of the total vehicle market, including commercial vehicles, rose to 17 per cent – meaning that over one in six new vehicles on UK roads is a Ford.
Also worth mentioning is that the Ford Fiesta is the What Car? Car of the Year. Stylish, modern and well equipped, Ford, we salute you for producing such a good car. Look out for the video of Clarkson’s review. It really is quite hilarious, especially when driving it in the mall…
