I had a Kia Soul Sport for review during the last week. You can read my review here:

It's a pretty neat vehicle; you get a lot for your money, too. Decent power, great stereo, good warranty. The front seats were pretty flat, and the drivetrain wasn't as refined as some of the competition, it's a lot of car for the cash.

I've seen a few of these Kia Souls around town. I imagine it's a great little urban cruiser.

I'd take a first-gen xB over the Soul, but I'd take a Soul over a second-gen xB...:biggrin:

Cheers


im going to have to agree, the 2nd gen XB was dubbed the young kids mini van by car and driver lol

i would rock one, just dont know about the whole kia thing though....

I test drove one and was anything but impressed with the power. The car is pretty decent looking and there were alot of cool options but I say bring on the bB.

Did you drive the 1.6 liter or the 2.0 liter?

I think it's pretty ugly. Can't get past that.

The 2.0 all decked out with the bells and whistles.

Nice review. The Soul def looks better than the Cube.

Well, I guess we have differing views on "power." I thought it felt pretty zippy.

I like the looks of both. They are quite different. I'm actually trying to obtain a Cube for review soon.

The previous design of the Cube's exterior was nice...the current is not.

I agree.

I briefly considered a Soul when researching what car to get.

One thing (of many) that kept bringing my back to the Yaris 3 door HB is its styling. :smile:
