The car of the year for 2009 is the Ford Fiesta. A lot of people were surprised by that, since there are so many other cars available and some of them are very high quality. However, the Ford Fiesta is a low cost car that has a lot to offer, and it gets good gas mileage. That makes it a popular choice for all kinds of people from all walks of life - especially people who have to commute and who don't want to take public transportation. Sometimes, public transportation isn't close enough or convenient enough for a person, but yet he or she still needs to get from point A to point B and beyond. The Ford Fiesta is a great way to do that because it's so small and compact, which makes it easily manoeuvrable. It also doesn't cost a lot to own or operate, so people on a budget can get what they need for transportation and still afford their rent or mortgage. With the prices of gasoline today, it's a very good thing that the Fiesta gets such good mileage, and that's part of what helped propel it into the car of the year status.
Not everyone will love the Fiesta because some people simply want bigger, flashier, more expensive cars, but for those who need good quality transportation at a great price, it's very hard to beat the Ford Fiesta.
Ford, even though it's an American company, is a large player in the UK car market, and the Fiesta is only a part of that. The Ford vans that are available are also exceedingly popular, and they provide a lot of cargo room while still being small and easy to drive in traffic. Ford has a reputation for quality, as well, both in the UK and in the US, and that has helped the company go a lot farther in the UK car market than anyone had at first thought it would. It isn't the leader, but that's to be expected in a country where it's not based, but it still has a good part of the car-buying public very interested in what it has to offer. Now that the Fiesta has been named the car of the year, it's quite likely that Ford will see a boost in sales of that vehicle, further contributing to its market share, profits, and desirability in the UK car market today.
