2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring

Hyundai takes its successful four-door sedan and makes it into a five-door, aka a hatchback or wagon. The Touring will use the same engine as the sedan and can be bought with the four-speed, sport-shift automatic or the five-speed manual. As a nod to driving enthusiasts, Hyundai outfits the manual transmission with a short-throw shifter, while music lovers get an iPod connection via USB. Cargo space with the rear seats folded down is a healthy 65.3 cubic feet.
