Fiesta No. 1 again in Europe

Ford Fiesta was the No. 1 selling car in Europe again last year.

Ford sold 293,663 Fiestas in Europe in 2013, making it the top selling small car in Europe for the second year running.

"Fiesta appeals as much to the customer attracted by fun-to-drive qualities as it does to the driver who is more concerned with the fuel efficiency offered by the award-winning 1.0 EcoBoost engine," said Eddie Murphy, Chairman and MD of Ford Ireland. "From the dynamic and practical Fiesta ST to the ultra-frugal new Fiesta ECOnetic, and across more than 11,400 variants, small car buyers are finding a Fiesta that is right for them".

Fiesta claims to be the car in which most motorists in Ireland learnt to drive in; it is in fifth place of the top selling cars in Ireland in January 2014, with 746 sales; and is sold in 62 countries worldwide. The most popular colours are Frozen White, Panther Black and Moondust Silver.
