The Best New Cars of 2013
March 14, 2013
Consumer Reports recently released their top vehicle picks for 2013 in 10 categories, from midsized sedan to sports cars. Each winner ranks at or near the top of its category when it comes to road tests, reliability and safety.
This year's winners include Honda, which did not make the list last year - but this year has a nice showing with three of its cars - Accord, CR-V and Odyssey - taking top mentions. Also on the list are BMW, Audi, Subaru, Hyundai and Scion. When you're ready to negotiate your car purchase, I recommend using the free to get the biggest discounts on these vehicles.
| Category | Top Pick |
|---|---|
| Midsized Sedan | Honda Accord |
| Compact Car | Subaru Impreza |
| Budget Car | Hyundai Elantra |
| Small SUV | Honda CR-V |
| Midsized SUV | Toyota Highlander |
| Sports Sedan | BMW 328i |
| Minivan | Honda Odyssey |
| Green Car | Toyota Prius |
| Sports Car | Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ |
| Luxury Car | Audi A6 |
