I have always been interested in cars (well there is no surprise there, as I write blogs about them).
Our roads are packed with them and every morning as I walk to work, I look at the cars people drive and some of the cars on the road do still surprise me.
So it got me thinking, what are the best selling cars on our road in U.K. five month into 2018.
Well there should be no surprise, the Ford Fiesta dominates the list, with a massive 19,272 registration just last month, which is 5,306 units more than its rival VW Golf.
There was no surprise seeing a drop of diesel sales, a drop of almost 37.2%, but once again we saw an increase is sales of petrol cars followed by hybrid and electric cars.
