“Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir ”

PROS
Refined mild-hybrid powertrain,
and handles better than it strictly needs to

CONS
Hybrid gets expensive.
Looks weird (even weirder than before) but then you might like that

The hybrid version has low CO2 emissions on its side, but otherwise the Kona is outclassed by the many other small SUVs available to choose from at this price. The Ford Puma is more fun, the T-Roc more comfortable and the Skoda Kamiq more practical.

PROS
Low CO2 emissions (Hybrid)
Generous standard kit
Good infotainment system

CONS
Bumpy ride
Not very practical
So-so performance of the 1.0 T-GDi

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is a mild-mannered, well-equipped compact sedan.

Pros
Docile personality
High-tech options
Good safety gear
Styling will age well

Cons
Docile personality
Breaks little new ground
Conservative, almost to a fault
Unsupportive front seats

The 2019 Jetta is marginally bigger than the old car, continuing a trend that has seen the Jetta grow to roughly the size of the fondly remembered B5-generation 1997–2005 Passat. The Jetta’s wheelbase has been stretched 1.3 inches to 105.7 inches, which helps the car maintain its proportions even with an overall length that has grown to 185.1 inches.

Pros
Classy interior,
responsive 1.4-liter turbo,
slick manual available.

Cons
Mute steering,
smaller trunk,
no GLI at launch.
