I purchased the Kia soul I have used and did not really expect a lot from the car. I was pleasantly surprised. The vehicle is very fuel efficient especially in highways. It is light and it is easy to drive. Because it is a smaller car, it can easily fit into smaller parking spaces and is easier to navigate into tight corners. I had the vehicle for a few year now and I have taken it for long distance travel. It is pretty comfortable and it actually holds a lot of luggage contrary to one might think because of its size. I have moved out of state and I was able to get so much stuff into the Kia Soul. Design does not really get old even with the newer models available.
