Motorists looking to downsize in order to save money on their comprehensive car insurance may want to consider the award-winning Ford Fiesta.

The model has been named the What Diesel number one auto for 2009 and Ian Robertson, editor of the magazine, said it was a great economical buy.

"It's a car that is perfect for these recessionary times, offering a top-class package, with a fantastic driving experience at a reasonable price," he commented.

Other successful models at this year's What Diesel event included the Citroen C3 Picasso - which drove away with the MPV title - and the Skoda Superb - named the number one vehicle in the large auto class.

Last year's overall winner - the Jaguar XF - took second place and Volkswagen clinched the publication's green award.

Motorists who downsize may find they can save money on their comprehensive car insurance because vehicles with smaller engines generally qualify for cheaper cover.
