Last year knew our favorites didn’t win. Who went there this year with a superb victory at the results?

But with the door in the house to fall: the glorious overall winner, the Skoda Superb! Skoda’s biggest, this is the successor of the Volkswagen Passat last year with the victory of the remove went. This is despite the frantic efforts of @wouter, that the jury was infiltrated to a car with a touch of emotion to win.

But a new year means new opportunities. In the Alphabet-ranging competition test to the jury, the cars that are up to 12 months on the market. The selection is based on criteria such as costs, design, representativeness, economy and environment, quality, dealer network and handling characteristics. In the four different categories of ‘Economy’, ‘Business’, ‘Business+’ and ‘Executive’ are winners. Then comes after careful deliberation of the jury with the big names in the industry such as @casperh one overall winner.

This year is the winner in the category ‘Economy’, the dynamic Mazda CX-3 has become. The category of ‘Business’ goes to the new Opel Astra. The Skoda Superb triumphs in the “Business+” class and the BMW 7-series will claim the victory in the ‘Executive’ field. The overall gain turned out to be an exciting affair, says jury chairman Anne Bronze:

“The Mazda CX-3 was the public’s favorite, but during the day brought the Skoda Superb and the Mazda. The Superb scored very well on the criteria space, comfort and road holding. In addition, the price-performance ratio is optimal in this model. This is for us to decide the winner.”

A renewed party for VAG, because the jury follows this year’s Skoda-rider. But wait! There is more to it! This year, for the first time, a prize will be awarded for the ” Private Lease car of the Year’. To do so, the criteria of practical usefulness and value for money, extra heavily weighted. In the end, the battle for this title between the new Astra and the Mazda CX-3.

How the mental condition of the Mazda representatives, is we don’t know, people have an ‘eternal second’ syndrome developed for less. But we see the CX-3 is already rampant in the streets, so maybe it is.
