01 Oct 2009|5,603 views
Records are made to be broken, even during a recession, and September looks like being the best month ever for Mazda in the UK.
Despite the economic downturn Mazda has continued to increase its market share month on month, and with September volume forecast at 11,135, giving a passenger car market share of 2.9% and a retail market share of 3.8%, the month will go down in the record books as Mazda’s best single month since the marque arrived in the UK in the '60’s.
"We have seen our retail share, which is the true test of a manufacturers popularity, grow over the last twelve months," said Jeremy Thomson, Mazda UK managing director. "While the industry has been in decline, and our volume has reduced, we have bucked the trend by increasing our share of that declining market. However, in the last couple of months that volume has been returning and already we have hit our September objective of 10,000 with the forecast to get to 11,135 which will be the best month ever for Mazda in the UK.

"The most popular model in September is Mazda2 with 4,710 sales, followed by Mazda3 with 2,466 sales, people are recognising great product that offers an outstanding driving experience at affordable prices, a dealer network that offers the best customer service in the industry and an exciting brand that people want to be associated with."
