The Poms have expensive tastes.
Five of the top 10 most searched for cars in the UK are either BMWs or Mercedes.
That’s the word from the UK’s Autotrader site that lists 470,000 new and used cars every day.
The BMW 3 Series retains its title as the most searched for car in the UK and has been for seven consecutive years, the subject of more than 40 million searches on Auto Trader in 2017.
“These results show that British car buyers are very keen on spoiling themselves, with premium manufacturers featuring very heavily in our list of most searched-for cars,” Autotrader’s Ivan Aistrop said.
