The list of the most popular cars of 2010 for the UK has just been released, and the BMW 3 Series, Volkswagon Golf and Vauxhaull Astra are standouts. A number of factors affected this list including data from sales, costs as well as online car insurance quotes.Additional safety featurescurrent to 2010 in some cases yielded a lower car insurance quote than a previous year's model that was not as well-equipped for safety, however it is best to get a car insurance quote specific to your situation and needs from a provider such as Your Cover Insurance. Here are the UK's top cars for 2010:
BMW 3 Series: Having a reputation for both safety and luxury, the BMW 3 Series autos were largely unchanged from previous years, meaning that insuring them has not gotten any more costly; but these cars have a wide range of appeal to just about anyone since they are available both as a sedan for family driving, as well as coupe and sport models for those people who are more racing-oriented. Every car in the BMW 3 series combines a powerful engine with handling that is said to be unparalleled, along with ride ccomfort not often seen in other luxury auto models, making this vehicle a very tantalizing acquisition.
Volkswagon Golf: This particular vehicle has seen a great increase in price due to the recent VAT increase, at around 35,000 pounds, when factoring in the cost of petrol, insurance, and tax (almost 9,000 pounds more than a BMW). Volkswagons tend to have an excellent safety record (in 2010, the option for rear airbags became available) and a reputation for reliable driving, which could explain their immense appeal in recent years. In 2010, the Volkswagon golf was also available as a clean diesel model, which makes it a great option for people who are environmentally-minded, as well as anybody who wishes to spend less money on petrol, as their fuel consumption is far lower than comparable cars.
Vauxhall Astra: This extremely affordable vehicle is renowned for being a comfortable family car, as well as an excellent first car for young people. The total cost of the Astra usually runs to just over 22,000 pounds, including tax, petrol, and insurance prices. One nice aspect of the Astra not seen with other popular cars is that its lower cost tends to make it a less appealing target to thieves. While the design of the Astra sedan may not be anything revolutionary, it does consistently deliver comfort and good quality driving, and many reviewers have stated that they believe the Astra to be one of the finest sedans on the market today. While its ubiquity and lack of flashy components might lead people to believe it is not a stylish car, there is even a three-door version that has garnered great aesthetic praise from reviewers.
