The Volkswagen Polo : For the second month running, the Polo has managed to hold onto second place, a spot traditionally occupied by the Ford Fiesta. Like VW, Ford has a huge market share in Europe but is currently being pushed into third place overall by Renault. Photo:AFP

The Skoda Octavia : It's difficult to beat Skoda's perfect combination of clean design, reliability and quality. It's a recipe that has cemented the Octavia in the top 10 and might be what's keeping cars like the Ford Focus down. The VW-owned company reported record sales for 2014. Photo:AFP

The Nissan Qashqai : It might be the only crossover in the top 10, but make no mistake, the Qashqai is leading the charge - SUVs and crossovers now account for 21% of total car sales in Europe and that percentage is only expected to rise. Photo:AFP

The Audi A3 : The 10th car on the list is also, depending on specification, the most expensive. However, despite the premium, the Audi A3 is showing no signs of going out of fashion other than that buyers are moving away from the three-door and towards the five-door version. Five-door sales outnumber three-door sales by a factor of 10-to-one. Photo:AFP
