| Bottom line | The 2012 Volvo C30 R-Design, enhanced by the Polestar power upgrade, offers excellent driving performance. Solid cabin electronics are marred by a confused interface. | Choose the spartan 2013 Subaru BRZ Premium if you're looking for a fantastic driver's
car that carves corners with unmatched precision, but steer clear if cabin tech and "premium" comfort top your list of requirements. | The 2012 Toyota Prius just works, delivering outstanding fuel economy, good cabin-tech options, and a comfortable ride with few compromises. | 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. |
