CORSA TAKES POLE POSITION

Vauxhall's Corsa is now the UK's number one training car, according to figures released by the Driving Instructors' Association Britain's leading professional organisation for driving instructors. In a highly competitive market, the ever-popular Corsa has knocked rival Ford Fiesta off the much coveted pole position, into second place. Nissan's Micra has now slipped to third place, with Peugeot in fourth. Renault is rapidly gaining ground with its new Clio and the Toyota Yaris takes sixth. Rover, currently in seventh position, is expected to make an imminent comeback and Fiat, VW and Citroen are battling it out at the rear.
