TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Hyundai Accent is a practical and economical subcompact car, but crash-test scores are below par.

The 2016 Nissan Versa sedan and Versa Note hatchback are no-frills transportation with plenty of space, but poor safety and performance ratings.

TCC Likes

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

Huge interior space
Comfortable ride
New car for used-car price

TCC Dislikes

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

Low-rent interior look and feel
CVT is sluggish, boomy
Versa S lacks folding rear seat
