The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating

6.8

TCC’s Bottom Line
Safety upgrades this year make the 2019 Honda Civic as compelling as ever. The 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo spends all its second-generation capital on feel-good features–and it works. The 2019 Mazda 3 keeps the zoom, but all-wheel-drive practicality and a vastly upgraded interior make it much more than that.
