TCC’s Bottom Line

Affordable small cars don't need to be bland, whether in appearance or from behind the wheel. And the 2014 Ford Fiesta is proof of that.

Sadly, the 2014 Scion xD is less fun to drive than to look at, though it's spacious for its size.

TCC Likes

Excellent steering
Strong feature set

TCC Dislikes

Interior works no wonders with space
Balky PowerShift transmission
