TCC’s Bottom Line

Remember the Neon? The 2013 Dodge Dart brings some of the same passion back to Chrysler's compact-car lineup.

Civic who? Corolla what? The Hyundai Elantra's one of the new standard bearers in the compact class, with 38-mpg fuel economy, better safety, and class-leading standard features.

TCC Likes

Distinctive, sporty styling
Surprising interior space
Comfortable seating position

Emphatic design statement
Gas mileage is very good
Comes in sedan, coupe, and hatch

TCC Dislikes

Anemic base engine
Tire roar on certain roads
Gas mileage only average

Sluggish throttle response
Rear headroom is tight
Steering's better, not best
