10 Most Wanted Cars in England
Every month, people use Auto Trader to search for over 90 million used cars. These are the 10 most popular searches:
Ford Focus
The Focus has been the UK's best seller every year since it first went into production in 1998. Of every 20 cars sold in the UK, one is a Focus. The second generation now has a fresh new look, which complements the Focus' cemented reputation as a multi-ability driver's car.
Ford Fiesta
The Fiesta has always been a popular choice as a reliable run-around - but now it's much more than that. The new Fiesta has been a huge hit, with a great choice of engines and handling.
Volkswagen Golf
The newest Golf is the 6th model of its kind. Although the outside looks quite similar to the mk5, the improved refinement means it does feel like a different car. After all, the Golf is all about evolution, not revolution.
Honda Civic
The current 7th generation Civic is a hit with younger buyers, as Honda intended - the average Civic driver age has dropped by almost 10 years. It could be something to do with the new car's fantastic looks, or how it drives. Many say it blows similar value cars out of the water.
BMW 3 Series
It's no wonder the 3 series is one of the UK's best selling coupes. With compliments including mind-blowing performance, superb handing, excellent build quality and menacing looks, the 3 series has certainly proved itself as a great driver's car.
BMW 5 Series
This car has been a benchmark for executive saloons for many years, and the newest model looks to keep it that way. Blending comfort and driving dynamics, it could even be compared to some sports cars.
Vauxhall Astra
The Astra is the best selling UK-built car in Britain, and has been around for a credible 40 years. The latest 6th generation has proved itself against competitors including the Focus and Golf.
Vauxhall Corsa
The market for superminis has never been more competitive - and the Corsa is still holding its own. Since it was first launched in 1993, it's been a great choice for practicality and price. The newest model retains all this, and has extra low running costs too.
Audi A3
The popularity of the A3 may be because it's the cheapest way to become an Audi owner. The latest version of the hatchback has the Golf and BMW 3 Series in its sights, and will be a hit with 'green' buyers due to the high fuel economy and low emissions.
Audi A4
Following in the A3's footsteps, the A4 is more popular than ever. The current 4th generation is all new, with the longest wheel-base in its class and a choice of 6 engines. Its straight-forward offering is proving to be a hit and rivals the Mercedes C Class, among others.
