Car loans news: Corsa named top supermini
Jan 22 2009Motorists who are looking to take out unsecured Car Loans in order to fund the purchase of a new, smaller vehicle could have extra reason to plump for the VAUXHALL Corsa.
The car has been named the UK's favourite super MINI by Road Test Reports, finding favour with 35 per cent of respondents in an online poll.
This comes after Vauxhall recorded new registrations of almost 100,000 for the vehicle over the last 12 months, proving its popularity in the showrooms.
Honda's Jazz model ran in second in the survey with 19 per cent of the vote, with the FORD Fiesta taking third spot.
Road Test Report's Faye Sunderland explained that all three manufacturers had succeeded in developing cars that offered practical and comfortable service.
"It bodes well for Vauxhall, HONDA and Ford to see that people don't just buy these cars, but once they have them on the drive, that they are satisfied with their purchase," she commented.
Sales of the vehicles may also have been boosted by the recession, with Clean Green Cars suggesting recently that the current financial climate had resulted in more people looking to switch to smaller, more economical vehicles.
