Model-wise, the Opel Astra takes the lead both in March (8% share) and year-to-date (5.1%) whereas it ranked just 7th after two months. It is followed by the Skoda Octavia, Ford Focus and VW Golf while the Suzuki Vitara stays strong in 5th place. The Opel Corsa (#7), Toyota Yaris (#10) and Suzuki Swift (#13) also shine, but the surprise of the month comes from the Fiat Tipo, frankly breaking into the Top 20 at #12 which is already higher than at home in Italy (#22)…
