IF you are planning to get a new car next year, a recent study of the town’s favourite vehicles might be able to predict which brand you are going to choose.

Research by the Royal Bank of Scotland claims that Warrington is a town of Ford fans, with the Fiesta and the Focus ranking as the two most popular vehicles.

But if money was no object, the study said residents would choose an Audi, Mercedes or Lamborghini.

According to RBS, two in ten people will be buying a new or used car next year and will spend an average of £13,751 on their new wheels.

But a third of residents would splurge more than £20,000 on a car.
