carsales.com.au Car of the Year 2005

  Car of the Year 2005

There is no doubt about it - carsales.com.au is Australia's favourite place to buy, sell and research cars. In fact, carsales.com.au has been independently ranked as Australia's number one Automotive website for a number of years.

During 2005 carsales.com.au users conducted millions of searches and sent hundreds of thousands of enquiries on both new and used cars. As a result, carsales knows what Australian car buyers are looking for.

The carsales.com.au Car of The Year Awards recognise the most popular new cars on the website during 2005. There is nothing tricky at all about how each category is awarded. They are not chosen by journalists, or manufacturers, or industry bodies, but by the real experts - you the Australian car buyer. From 1 January to 31 December 2005, every time you placed an enquiry on a new car, it counted as a vote towards the Car of the Year. Think of it as the ultimate popularity contest for cars in Australia.

carsales.com.au bases its categories on pre-determined specifications set by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), and published as VFacts. The categories specified by the FCAI are used to classify each of the enquiries you make on new cars on the carsales website throughout the year. It's that simple!
