Volkswagen (-2.4%) resists well in 2nd place but it’s Kia (+22.5%) that delivers the best score near the top of the ranking, despite dropping one spot on September to #3. Volvo (+3.5%) is also up at #4 but Mercedes (-11%), Ford (-28.7%) and Skoda (-53.7%) all reverse. Near the tail end of the Top 10, Hyundai (+31.7%) and BMW (+22.6%) both score fantastic results.
