TCC’s Bottom Line

Small cars don't need to be bland--the 2013 Ford Fiesta proves that with a saucy look and pert handling.

The 2013 Hyundai Accent is one of the best-equipped small cars, and it gets very good gas mileage, but it's not quite as exciting to drive as it looks.

TCC Likes

Sharp styling (5-door especially)
Great steering, maneuverability
Respectable safety ratings

Stylish hatchback
Interior fit and finish
Room for four adults

TCC Dislikes

Interior space somewhat disappointing
Balky PowerShift transmission
Fashion-victim audio controls

Doesn't drive as perky as it looks
Headroom tighter in the sedan
Price is no longer super-cheap
