TCC’s Bottom Line

The teensy 2018 Ford Fiesta lives its best life as a scintillating turbo-4 ST.

The 2018 Toyota Yaris is two cars: a fun-to-drive sedan called the "iA," and a hatchback relic that's hard to recommend. Four doors=four thumbs up.

TCC Likes

Good-looking, still
Great steering
Lots of Titanium features

Good standard safety features
Sedan is relatively fun to drive
Impressive standard infotainment

TCC Dislikes

Barely-there rear seats
Jerky dual-clutch automatic
Cluttered cockpit

Slow and loud
Hatchback offers a 4-speed automatic, no really
Hard to fit more than two adults
