Maggie Barry (Scotland) Barb Samardizch, Chief Operating Officer, Ford of Europe; Sandy Myhre New Zealand: Marta Garcia Fernandez, Spain: Sue Baker UK: Presenting the 2013 trophy to Ford Europe in Cologne 28 November 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

A jury of 18 female automotive journalists recently elected the Ford Fiesta as the “2013 Women World Car of the Year” and in Cologne Ford Motor Company were presented with the award.
\n<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe Fiesta 1.0-litre EcoBoost claimed the top prize ahead of finalists including the Audi Allroad, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S, and also received the 2013 Women\u2019s World Car of the Year Economy Car award from the judging panel, which praised the new Fiesta for its fuel efficiency and \u201chigh-end look and feel\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of the new Fiesta, both in terms of this award and impressive sales, has been achieved with a car which is sharper-looking, better-connected and even more fuel efficient and fun-to-drive, to appeal to drivers around the world,\u201d said Barb Samardzich, chief operating officer, Ford of Europe.<\/p>\n

The panel of 18 female motoring writers, including the editor of Wheelsforwomen Geraldine Herbert, \u00a0judged the overall award on factors including safety, value-for-money, appearance, storage, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, colour, sex appeal and environmental footprint. Both awards were presented to Samardzich by Sandy Myhre, chief executive officer, Women’s World Car of the Year, at a ceremony in Cologne, Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was clear from the outset that the new Fiesta 1.0-litre EcoBoost had struck a chord with our panel of female motoring experts from around the world,\u201d Myhre said. \u201cWomen play a significant but often overlooked role in buying a car and the new Fiesta\u2019s high-end look and feel, remarkable fuel economy and surprising performance are just some of the features which clearly chime with the needs of many female drivers.
