TCC’s Bottom Line

With their stylish interiors and perky driving feel, the 2015 Ford C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi are somewhat sportier alternatives to the Toyota Prius lineup.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport isn't as refined inside as it looks from its exterior, but it maneuvers well and offers a surprising amount of functional space.

TCC Likes

Like the Prius, but a little sportier
Stylish, premium-look inside
Quiet cabin

Nimble, responsive feel
Spacious, versatile layout
Clean, simple dash layout

TCC Dislikes

A little too van-like?
Some controls almost out of view
Load floor not in line with tailgate opening

CVT is sluggish on the highway
Drab interior
Noisy inside (although improved)
