Before we leave the month of September, let's go back three years ago to September 2009. On that month, Ondoy wrecked havoc to most of Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces. If we include some people who bought replacement vehicles in the latter days of September and the brand new ones that got flooded, 11,305 vehicles had been purchased by Filipinos nationwide during that month. Which means year to date figures reached 93,385 units
Selling 986 units in September, the Toyota Vios is the king at #1 with 8.7% market share, and out of the 12 months, the record was stopped by the Honda City in February 2009, relegating the Vios at the number 2 spot. After going down to the fourth spot last month, the Toyota Innova climbs back to second place with 846 sales and 7.5% market share for September. Despite the long lines, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport is a hit among consumers at #3 with 842 units being delivered and 7.4% share of the market. However, it is number four year-to-date.
The Honda City is at #4 sells 807 units with 7.1% market share, but remains number three year-to-date. With the Montero being on command, the Toyota Fortuner is up 2 places to #5 with 562 consumers driving off dealership lots with 5% market share. Another Toyota rounds the top six with the Avanza, selling 449 units and receiving 4% market share during the month of September.
With 406 sales, the Mitsubishi Adventure, receiving a minor model change, is at #7 with 3.6% share of the market. Selling one unit less than the Adventure is the Isuzu Crosswind, at #8 with 405 units sold taking also 3.6% market share. The Toyota Hilux captures the 9th spot with 394 units driving off Toyota dealers and taking the 3.5% share for this month. Rounding off the top 10 is the Honda Civic, which received a facelift and sells 340 units and taking 3% market share.
