'Well-informed buyers opting for Hyundai'
Despite the bleak economic outlook for the car industry in the UK, Hyundai managed to sell more vehicles last month than in January 2008, it has been reported.Figures provided by the manufacturer revealed it shifted 1,885 units in Britain during the first month of 2009 - a 5.66 per cent rise on the previous year.
Hyundai's managing director in the UK, Tony Whitehorn, put the company's success down to the fact people were ensuring they were well-informed before purchasing cars.
"The economic conditions have meant that buyers are researching far more before making buying decisions," he stated.
Mr Whitehorn added people were looking at reports and comparing products - and Hyundai was coming out on top.
Fans of the manufacturer's models were promised more i20 cars would arrive at dealerships across the UK in the coming weeks.
