Pros Well-tuned chassis, the best of our least favorite type of transmission (CVT), the hybrid's fuel-economy savings pays for its larger initial cost.
Cons Poky base engine, higher starting price than many of its toughest competitors, no excitement.
Pros Roomy interior with cavernous cargo capacity Tech features are easy to use Smooth and comfortable ride
Cons Not much cabin storage space for small items Hybrid powertrain can be noisy and slow on hills
Pros Perky optional plug-in hybrid powertrain, futuristic appearance, well-equipped from EX trim up.
Cons Base powertrain is pretty poky, buzzy engine sounds under heavy throttle, not as fuel efficient in our testing as last year's model.
Pros Smooth and quiet ride quality High fuel economy Spacious seating and cargo area for a compact car
Cons Slow acceleration No option for all-wheel drive Can get unsettled when driving over bumps or around turns
