TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster dances the line between sporty coupe and sports car with features, fuel economy, impressive handling, and newfound turbo power.

The 2013 Volvo C30 still has a stunning design, inside and out, but its performance and practicality can easily be beat.

TCC Likes

Awesome sport-shoe sensibility
Great grip and poise
New turbo urgency

Distinctive design, inside and out
Strong powertrain
Highway comfort

TCC Dislikes

Back seat space is tight
Base cars are sluggish off the line
Steering can be vague; on Turbos, heavy

Disappointing cargo space
Odd driving position
Lack of headroom
