The Lexus RX 4x4, Toyota Prius and Honda Jazz have received top marks in a car customer satisfaction table by J D Power and the UK-based What Car? magazine.

The Lexus RX 4x4 received  the highest score in the table, while the low-emission hybrid Toyota Prius came second in the table based on views of 15,700 car owners.

The Honda Jazz, which Honda is pinning much of its hopes on to revive car sales, was third, with the Lexus IS fourth and the Mercedes-Benz CLK fifth.

Of the 101 cars in the table, the least satisfactory was the Fiat Punto, with the Peugeot 206 in 100th place and the Ford Galaxy 99th.

Fiat was considered the least satisfactory of the manufacturers in a table topped by Lexus, with Honda second and Mercedes-Benz third with Skoda and Toyota fourth equal.

The Toyota Prius was also considered best upper medium car, with the Toyota Aygo the best city car.

Also receiving segment-level awards were the Honda Jazz (small car), Skoda Octavia (lower medium car), Audi A6 (executive/luxury car), Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class (sports car), Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (multi purpose vehicle) and Lexus RX (SUV).
