| Bottom line | The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ turbo is a competent driver with good fuel economy, but its cabin tech falls behind the compact-car competition. | The tiny 2012 Fiat 500C is the best-looking
car among the new economy set, but it doesn't edge anyone out based on its cabin or performance technology. | The 2012 Hyundai Accent SE continues Hyundai's streak of great
cars with great tech, but the omission of a navigation option keeps this entry-level model from getting top marks. | With its compact size, the 2012 Scion iQ is excellent for cities, offering easy parking and good drivability. But harsh engine noise will make longer trips uncomfortable. |
