The Dacia Logan is the best selling car in Romania for the 6th consecutive year, and is still extremely strong in its native country at 26.2% market share, only a slight decrease on ’09. It reached its best share in April at 38.5%. The Skoda Octavia (5.9%, best share in June at 7.3%) and Renault Symbol (4.1%) complete the podium.

The Opel Astra is safely above the VW Golf in this market. The Dacia Sandero hasn’t managed to climb higher than #8 in the Full Year ranking at 2.6%.
