Published: 20.07.2020

With only 4,321 new cars being sold since April, due to the corona virus pandemic having a drastic impact on the car manufacturing industry, individual model sales have only increased slightly over the past month. However, this hasn’t stopped  many consumers as these cars in the list below they just cannot seem to stop buying.

  1. Ford Fiesta

Topping the UK’s best-selling new car list every year since 2009, the Fiesta is a firm British favourite and it’s no surprise that it claims the top spot. Even after a major reshuffle in 2019 that saw the base models price increase by £2000, it is clear the Fiesta’s combination of efficiency, dynamism and plucky charm is still a winning formula with car buyers.
