The survey, released Wednesday, June 19, 2013, questioned 83,442 owners and lessees of 2013 model year vehicles who were contacted at random through state registration data. Honda had the top-performing small car and small SUV, with the Honda Civic and Honda CR-V. The best midsize car was the Toyota Camry and the best large car was the Chevrolet Impala. Chevrolet also had the best large SUV, the Tahoe and the best pickups , the Avalanche and Silverado.
