We posted stats about risers and fallers in the UK car market yesterday.  This is the Top Ten new cars registered by volume, compiled by SMMT, so far in 2013.  

The top slot goes to the Fiesta, which is no surprise to those of us who spend any time on the road - and 3,000 of those have been Fiesta STs, whose success has taken Ford by surprise.
