The UK's favourite cars in each category

We all know which cars we like best but what about UK motorists as a whole, which models get their juices flowing and their cash winging its way into the manufacturer's coffers? If you've ever wondered which cars in each category sell best, now's your chance to find out but be warned, some of the answers might come as a bit of a shock!

We could all have a decent stab at naming the bestselling cars in each market sector based on what we read in the media and the models we see out on the roads every day but that might not give an accurate impression. How many of these bestsellers can you guess?

We've used the latest available sales data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders to compile the top selling cars in each of the core areas of the UK market for 2011. That means city car, supermini, lower medium, upper medium, executive, luxury, specialist sports, dual purpose and MPV. Remember that recently launched cars won't have had a full year on sale at the time the data was collected and may not feature as a result.
