The 5 Best Selling Cars Of 2014 So Far

The 5 Best Selling Cars Of 2014 So Far

We’re only five months in to 2014, but the auto-world never rests for a single moment.

Knowing which cars have been the best sellers is an important fact to be wary of. Especially if you’re on the hunt for your very own set of four-wheels. It makes you wonder just why this particular car is dominating the market in sales.

Sales figures typically represent the popularity of a car, or any product on the market for that fact. If the sales figures are booming, the car must be worth buying, right?

But at the end of all the hype, it’s what fits YOU best, and hopefully the list below will make your decision that little bit easier.

5. Vauxhall Astra

The Astra is one of the most common cars out on the road today – they’re everywhere! Over the 35 years it’s been in the market, the Astra has evolved and adapted to sport a more classy and sleeker design.

The hugely improved handling is one thing that Vauxhall like to brag about, and it’s understandable why they do so.

A lot of the older models fell victim to shoddy roads and high speeds. But the new generation of Astra soaks up the bumps and cracks with ease, and doesn’t feel like it’s about to disintegrate when you get the chance to give it some gas.

Six airbags, improved stability control, enhanced xenon-light headlamps for night vision and it can hold five adults with ease.

Just over 21,000 Vauxhall Astra’s have been shifted in 2014 thus far, and it’s fair to say that figure will rise significantly.

4. Volkswagen Golf

At the very core of a VW Golf lies brute power, accompanied by expert suspension and the choice of three different engines.

Whether you’re a petrol head, diesel type or prefer the mystery of Blue Motion, the VW Golf handles and drives like a dream.

Like the Astra, the VW Golf is another car you see everywhere. But the Golf is seen as the better choice of the two in the eyes of 2014’s car buyers. 24,462 VW Golf’s have been sold since the dawn of this year, but what makes this year’s model so special?

According to car reviewers, the VW Golf sets the benchmark for quality, reliability and refinement.

You’re really paying ‘top dollar’ for perhaps the best family hatchback on the market at the moment.

New improvements and additions have seen wind and road noises completely eliminated in the Golf’s new design, even when you’re tearing up the tarmac on the motorway.

Impressive, classy and comfortable. The iconic VW image is complimented well with this new and improved hatchback.

3. Vauxhall Corsa

We’re getting into biggest sellers territory now, and to no surprise we find the Vauxhall Corsa.

The brand sports a vehicle for anybody. Whether you’re a teenager looking for an affordable, reliable and socially acceptable first car, or a long distance commuter – the Corsa comes in different shapes and sizes, as well as different colours and prices.

As of September this year, the world will see the brand new design of Vauxhall Corsa hit the showrooms. But if you’re looking to dodge the hefty price tag, the current designs are exactly what you’re looking for.

The Corsa is no spring chicken. It’s been around for what feels like an eternity, but that’s the precise reason why it’s still a bestseller.

The current breed of Corsa’s are neat, comfortable and have everything you need inside the car.

80,000 models were sold last year, and almost 30,000 have been sold this year already.

If the older version is what you want, finding the right dealership is a tricky one. It’s a no brainer to use accredited dealers, so check out big motoring world opening times as a starting point.

2. Ford Focus

Almost every car review that isn’t about a Ford model, is compared to a Ford model. They are the giants of the car manufacturing industry and it’s clear to see why.

With an enormous range of different trim levels that sport the highest level of electronic performance technology, and for an exceptional price, it is no wonder why Ford seem to dominate the sales figures year by year.

Alongside the Fiesta, the Focus is the king of the Ford range. It’s perfect for a big family as running costs are kept to the absolute minimum, and like its close rivals – the Vauxhall Corsa – this year will see the release of a brand new model.

1. Ford Fiesta

I suppose you could say this is the car of all car’s in terms of colossal sales figures.

50,000 have already been sold in 2014, which compared to the other car’s on this list is jaw-dropping.

Every single box is ticked when it comes to the Fiesta. Practical, affordable, reliable – the list goes on.

Not only is it incredibly great value for money, it’s also an experience to drive. Despite being small in stature to its bigger brother, the Focus, it’s explosive acceleration and tip-top handling make driving in this little whippet an absolute privilege.

It’s compact, it’s comfy, it’s light on its wheels. Not only that, it’s genuinely attractive and cheap to run. In that sense it is no surprise why the Fiesta owns the market.
