After being a dedicated 3-box sedan owner my full driving life, I've turned over a new leaf and am looking at wagon-type vehicles. They can call them SUVs or whatever, but IMO most of these vehicles are replacements for the Country Squire set of decades back.
So...I drove a Soul a week or so back. Amazing space in there, a big "trunk" and lots of rear seat room. Rode a bit choppy, I'm sure the mandatory 18s didn't help much.

With a friend on another site looking for an HHR replacement, I started fishing around. KIA's website has an excellent "compare vehicles" function so I went looking around for similar vehicles. Then I remembered the Hyundai Touring. It's very close to the HHR regarding interior room and overall size.

It gets good grades from the testers, at www.Fuelly.com it gets similar MPGs to my Spectra. As it should, given the same drivetrains.

How are you Touring drivers liking your vehicles? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Thanks for any comments.
