Vauxhall and Ford have had the same two models in the top 10 chart at either end of the 10-year period - the griffin"s Astra and Corsa and the blue oval"s Fiesta and Mondeo. French firm Renault has also enjoyed consistent success with its Clio. But it was Ford"s Escort, and its successor, the Focus, that took top spot in both eras.

BMW is having a hybrid party in Frankfurt!
Joining the Vision EfficientDynamics will be ActiveHybrid versions of the X6 and 7-Series.
And these two are ready for production.
But if youò€™re expecting Prius-rivalling CO2 emissions, think again. The X6 ActiveHybrid (above) will feature a 394bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 alongside two electric motors. The result is a combined output of 473bhp and a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds.
The 7-Series ActiveHybrid uses the same V8, but makes do with a single electric motor for a total power output of 449bhp ò€“ enough for a 0-60mph sprint in 4.8 seconds.
Both cars will go on sale in the US early next year.
