Good: The 2013 Fiat 500e's silent electric engine offers good low and midrange acceleration and feels capable at highway speeds. Cabin tech is simple, but checks the right boxes for audio sources and hands-free calling. Mobile app lets the driver monitor the vehicle and its battery remotely.
Bad: The TomTom navigation system was disappointing. At 75 miles, the cruising range is among the lowest in the category.
Bottom Line: We like the pure-electric 2013 Fiat 500e for its understated design and city-car practicality, but there are better buys to be had in the small EV market. [Read more]

Good: The Onkyo TX-NR626 is an excellent value, packing both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at a midrange price. There are six HDMI inputs, plus a dedicated turntable input -- a rarity these days. Onboard streaming-audio support is extensive, including Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody, Slacker, and Internet radio. And sound quality is solid after a manual setup.
Bad: There's no AirPlay, which competitors offer for less money. The TX-NR626's built-in Audyssey speaker calibration also delivered inconsistent results.
Bottom Line: Onkyo's TX-NR626 is a value-packed AV receiver with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even a turntable input, but it's just short of being our our top pick. [Read more]

Good: The affordable HMDX Jam Plus sounds better than the original Jam, it has an attractive, fun design, and if you buy a second speaker you can create a completely wireless pair of true stereo speakers.
Bad: No speakerphone capabilities; while the bass is a bit improved, the speaker still sounds thin.
Bottom Line: With an appealing design, affordable price, and the ability to combine a second Jam Plus to create a left/right stereo pair, the Jam Plus is a worthy budget Bluetooth speaker. [Read more]
