The popular Škoda Octavia was voted in as the most favourite imported car in the ‘Import Compact’ category.

The Multivan from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and the Golf from Volkswagen rose to become real serial winners: As in previous years, the popular best seller from Wolfsburg secured the top spot in the ‘Compact’ category, while the versatile Multivan won the coveted trophy in the “Van” category for the 13th consecutive year.
