December is traditionally the strongest month of the year for Turkish new car sales and 2013 is no exception, with 129,718 registrations. Whereas this generation had only topped Turkish car sales twice before (in November 2011 and last month), the Ford Fiesta manages to hold on its pole position for the 2nd month running thanks to 4,879 sales and 3.8% share, spectacularly lifting it up from #12 year-to-date at end-November to #6 in the final 2013 ranking. The Renault Symbol is back up from #7 last month to its usual self at #2 with 4,360 units and 3.4%, while Ford places a second model onto the podium this month: the Focus sedan is up 7 spots on November to #3 with 4,347 sales and 3.4%.
