Ford Fiesta named Used Car of the Year 2012 by CAP

The Ford Fiesta has long been considered a much-loved must-buy for many reasons including being considered the most comfortable, top performing, easily affordable, and not to mention best overall vehicle made by Ford. It's not just celebrated abroad, but Ford Fiesta has been Britain’s best-selling new car since its launch in 2008.

Ford has announced that its most popular and well loved vehicle has also been named Used Car of the Year 2012 by CAP, the leading independent car information experts. On top of CAP’s list of criteria when choosing its Used Car of the Year were affordability, practicality, reputation and popularity in the used car market.

Mark Norman, of CAP, said:  “It is always tempting for the motoring media and other industry observers to take ‘the petrol head’ approach when giving awards to cars which excite them, but the CAP Used Car of the Year Award recognises the contribution a car makes to both consumers and dealers.”

Ford also say, "Ford Fiesta continues to top the UK sales charts and the range is being further strengthened by this month’s arrival of new models featuring class-leading fuel economy from six powertrains with CO2 emissions under 100g/km, as well as leading driver assistance and safety features including Active City Stop, SYNC with Emergency Assistance and MyKey."

The new Ford Fiesta, now arriving at UK dealerships, strengthens the car’s acclaimed design and driving dynamics by offering a new face and engines, a refined interior and smart technologies.
