I love how my Kia rides! It's very smooth over all the city and highway terrain, and having everything at your fingertips (volume control, etc.) makes it lovely to drive. Being able to switch from EVO to regular driving has saved me gas and I believe it's lengthened the life of my Kia. The front passenger and drivers seats are cushy and very comfortable even for long drive (several hours).

I live in a coastal urban area, and this car is great for both. On the highway it accelerates very quickly, and when I am in tough traffic, I can put it in sport mode for an extra kick. In the city it looks sleek and classy, and I don't feel like a sore thumb in wealthy areas. I drive in the sand a lot, and the Soul maneuvers like an SUV while being the size of a car. The inside is very spacious, and if you fold down the seats, it can fit a full-size air mattress for easy camping and travel. The Kia Soul has enough power to be able to haul stand up paddle boards on the top of it or a jet sky behind it. I have driven 12,000 miles and have had no mechanical issues thus far. With the power an lack of mechanical problems, I feel very safe in this car.
