5. Opel/Vauxhall Corsa: 252,420 sold

The Opel Corsa isn’t quite as popular in Europe as the Vauxhall Corsa is in the UK, with the supermini securing fifth spot as opposed to third over here. The outgoing model was very much in the twilight of its career, so we can expect to see increased sales for the all-new car in 2015. Also note the absence of the Astra in the European top 10, a stark contrast to its fifth place in the UK.
