TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Honda Insight is a fuel-efficient compact sedan that has a secret: it’s among the safest cars on the road.

It’s still among the more mildly flavored mass-market sedans, but the 2020 Toyota Corolla has dropped the bland from its diet.

TCC Likes

Very efficient powertrain
Relaxed ride
Mature looks

More entertaining to drive
New engine, more power
Sportier look that’s more restrained

TCC Dislikes

Thin seat bottoms
Base cars skimp on features
Will anyone notice?

Cramped rear seat
More cargo space wouldn’t hurt
It’s sportier, but not necessarily sporty
