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.

Packed with value, the 2013 Scion xd isn't quite as much fun to drive as it looks.

TCC Likes

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

Still a strong value
Well-equipped in base form
Scion's long list of accessories

TCC Dislikes

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

Cost-cutter front seats
Head room is shy in back
Lacks a telescoping steering wheel
