The newest generation of the Ford Fiesta which will be coming to Malaysia soon has become Europe's best-selling car, pushing the Volkswagen Golf into second place in both March 2010 and year-to-date sales, according to the latest figures from JATO Dynamics.
In March 2010, Ford has sold 68,630 Fiestas representing a 25.8% increase in sales over the same corresponding month of March 2009. The sales figures are actually 11,785 more than what Volkswagen manage to sell the Golf. In total this year alone (January~March), the Europeans has bought 140,496 Ford Fiestas as compared to 135,048 of VW Golf.
As well as securing the top spot with the Fiesta, Ford also managed to finish first in the March brand chart, with 1,818 sales more than Volkswagen, whilst also closing up the year-to-date gap to its German rival which topped the Q1 charts with 372, 205 units
Now that is a clear indication of how good the Ford Fiesta is. The looks of the car is amazing, handling wise I’m not so sure, but with a good marketing and also a good price, I’m sure Sime Darby Auto Connexion will be smiling to the ear to fulfilled the orders from Malaysian car buyers.
