TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Fiesta drops pro handling moves in ST trim, and 3-cylinders excel at sipping fuel--but all Fiestas have very tight interiors.

The 2017 Hyundai Accent has a bargain pricetag and lots of space, but its safety scores aren't competitive.

TCC Likes

Crisp, nicely proportioned exterior
Excellent steering
Strong feature set on Titanium

Attractive styling, especially the hatchback
Cabin fit and finish
Real room for four

TCC Dislikes

Very tight back seats
Balky dual-clutch transmission
Base audio controls are cluttered

Not as perky as it looks
Head room tighter in the sedan
No navigation, leather, or sunroof—at all
