| Bottom line | Fans of Euro-retro styling, zippy performance, and great audio will find much to love about the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. | A very rewarding
car to drive, the 2013 Ford Focus ST will satisfy enthusiasts on weekend runs and the daily commute, but the cabin tech is a mixed bag, with the excellence of Sync offset by the navigation system interface. | The 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo adds a healthy dose of straight-line performance to its techie, trendy formula. | Love or hate its styling, the 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe John Cooper Works is easily one of the best-performing front-wheel-drive
cars we've tested. Unfortunately, it's also priced about $10,000 too high. | The 2013 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V-6 is a big step in the right direction for Honda, with great performance and good tech, but we worry that all of these virtues may not trickle down to the rest of the brand. |
