TCC’s Bottom Line

The smartly styled 2016 Fiat 500X is no off-roader, but it might be the most useful vehicle from the brand yet.

The 2016 Jeep Renegade has something to please both off-roaders and commuters, but its performance can seem dull compared to its engaging styling.

The 2016 Mazda CX-3 is stylish, well-equipped, and one of the most fun-to-drive vehicles in its segment.

TCC Likes

Audi-like exterior
Tidy urban size
Strong 4-cylinder power with 2.4-liter

Really IS a Jeep
Quiet on most roads
Off-road capability when needed

Elegant, stylish exterior
Modern, attractive interior
Ample features, great optional extras

TCC Dislikes

Tetchy automatic shifting
Sunroof steals head room, especially in back
Rear seats don't fold completely flat

Styling too cute for some
Rear-seat room unimpressive
Safety scores unknown

No manual transmission option
Rear seat is very compact
Styling may not age well
