The Prius (+238.1%), Noah (+11.9%) and Voxy (+1.5%) follow. The Honda Vezel (+64.9%) is the best of the rest at #8, distancing the Nissan Note (-11.2%) in difficulty. The Nissan Serena (+39.2%) is up strongly to round out the Top 10. Below, the Toyota Harrier (+515.3%), Subaru Impreza (+87.2%) and Honda StepWGN (+76.3%) stand out.
