Top 10: Best selling cars of 2013
According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) 2,264,737 new cars were registered during 2013, a number up 10.8% on 2012. The number is for registrations, not sales from dealers, and so includes fleet and business registrations like those for company cars.
The figures mean that, on average, 600 more cars were registered each day in 2013 compared to 2012. As is fairly typical for the UK the sales chart was dominated by Ford and Vauxhall – click through the gallery below to find out which models were the most popular.
Volkswagen Golf – 64,951 registrations
2013 was the new generation Golf’s first year on sale and it’s proven to be a popular choice. It’s arguably the benchmark car in the family hatchback class, with clean engines, a spacious cabin, excellent material choices and a great driving experience. Indeed the Golf review on HonestJohn.co.uk was the most popular in 2013, so it’s certainly piquing car buyer’s interests.
