TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2015 Toyota Yaris gets an eye-catching new face, spruced-up interior trims, and a somewhat quieter interior, but it lags behind the current crop of U.S.-market subcompacts in many ways.

TCC Likes

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

Standout new front-end design
Relatively zippy with the manual
Decent, supportive front seats

TCC Dislikes

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

Four-speed automatic is outmoded
Weak on passing power
Steering wheel doesn’t telescope
