When a car travels around a roundabout, the characteristic that is constant is its speed. Although the car's position and direction change continuously as it moves in a circular path, speed remains constant if the car is traveling at a steady rate. However, the velocity would not be constant because velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction, and the direction is continuously changing as the car goes around the roundabout.

So, the correct response is:

Speed.
