The Vauxhall Corsa is enjoying strong demand as buyers show strong interest in small cars.
Figures reveal the popular model was one of the quickest cars to sell off the dealer floor last month, especially in the North East.
Karolina Edwards-Smajda, Auto Trader retailer and consumer products director said: “The Vauxhall Corsa’s strong showing in May is reflected not only in its ranking as the UK’s fastest selling car, but also in its robust sales performance across the regions including taking the number one spot in the North East.
“It’s no surprise the small hatchback also currently ranks as the second most popular new car in 2016.”
The Nissan’s Qashqai+2 has allows proved a quick seller, with families opt for the model across the East of England and London.
