2011 Hyundai Elantra.
This Touring edition of the Elantra just doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the stylish Hyundai lineup. The curves and the aesthetics of the Sonata and Elantra sedans are stunning, and that language isn’t quite here. Of course, that’s because this Touring is based off the previous-generation Elantra. 
The bubblelike, almost teardrop silhouette seems a bit awkward. That being said, these headlights–with blue highlights in the middle–are stunning, and same with the wheels. I’ve seen luxury vehicles with far less.
The five-speed manual is kind of fun in a joystick sort of manner. The throws are long but true, and the clutch is smooth and easy. The manual allows the driver to wring the most out of this car, which, at 138 hp, isn’t much. Still, it was enough to get the Elantra Touring moving at a respectable pace.
The cabin is OK. The engine noise is loud and intrusive, and the atmosphere feels plain. There’s nothing wrong with the layout, but it doesn’t blow the occupant away. This thing is practical, however, and the back stowage area is a good size. The tall taillights remind me of those on the Cadillac CTS wagon.
