Just 9 months after its release date, it is hard to believe that already 250,000 units of the all-new Fiesta have been produced. This car has already picked up a European design award and is set to continue selling in record numbers - a remarkable feat in itself given the current economic climate.

The car has already been named Semperit Irish Small car of the year 2009 with over 1,662 models sold in the first quarter of the year. In March alone, over 52,800 Fiestas were sold across Europe earning the title of Europe's biggest selling car according to UK business consultancy JATO. The car is also leading the way in the UK - topping the sales charts for five consecutive months.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear raves about the All New Ford Fiesta concluding “This is a fantastic little car with a driving experience beyond the class.”

Since the Fiesta's launch in 1976, over 12m have been sold worldwide and 160,000 models in Ireland alone, giving the car iconic status as the ubiquitous car that everyone can relate to.
