The Croatian car market is up 8% this month at 3,142 registrations and up 12% year-to-date at 35,951 units.

The VW Polo takes the 2nd spot at 162 units and 5.2% and is #3 year-to-date with 1,537 sales and 4.3%, just 5 units behind the Opel Astra, #3 this month at 109 sales and 3.5%. Excellent month for the Peugeot 308, up 8 spots on September to #4 at 98 units and 3.1%. It is #9 YTD. The VW Passat drops from a taxi-fuelled 1st spot last month to #7 at 2.7%, while the Citroen C4 is up 3 spots to #11 and the Renault Megane is up 5 spots to #12.
