Road trips are an integral part of the American myth, with writers from de Toqueville to Jack Kerouac setting out to experience the variety and beauty of the huge country. Vehicle launch events, on the other hand, are heavily scripted—with pre-set drive routes often designed to highlight a car's best attributes and camouflage any flaws.

When it comes to compact cars, one body style does not a product line make. Ford, for example, offers both hatchback and sedan body styles on its Focus line, while Honda offers the Civic in sedan or coupe form. Kia goes one better, offering its Forte in coupe, hatchback or sedan variants, which left parent company Hyundai at a disadvantage with its Elantra compact lineup. If you wanted a new Elantra, you had to settle for the sedan body style, since the compact wagon Elantra Touring model was based on the previous generation platform. That’s changed for the 2013 model year, as Hyundai...
