The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze gains some good content, but its advanced safety tech should be more accessible. Safety upgrades this year make the 2019 Honda Civic as compelling as ever. The 2019 Hyundai Elantra delivers good handling and a lot of value for the money.
