TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Honda Civic sets the pace among affordable compact cars.

The 2020 Hyundai Veloster has a polished feel, matched with strong engine options and a dash of practicality.

The 2020 Toyota C-HR’s updated styling is less polarizing, and it now includes both Apple and Android smartphone support.

TCC Likes

Great interior space
Good value
Stellar fuel economy

Sharp styling
High-buck feel

TCC Dislikes

Base infotainment isn’t great
Poorly performing headlights

Dull on-center steering
Ride may be too stiff for some
Dual-clutch automatic’s occasional fumbles

Still some weird angles
Dungeon-like rear seat
Light on power
