The Kia Soul may look like a boxy car, but it performs as well as a car or truck. There are few blind spots, and it handles well in the snow. It has more control than a larger SUV or Jeep and seems pretty fuel efficient. (We don't take it out every day, but we fill it up about every two weeks.) In general, it's a solid choice. It's great for moving things, especially smaller items. The back seat flips down flat. There are cup holders everywhere, too. I get annoyed with it in the rain--sometimes the windows are cleared too slowly and sometimes it steams up despite the weather controls. (Crack a window like I do if it happens to you.) Otherwise, the temperature controls are great, too. Otherwise, I love my Soul.

The Kia Soul is a great vehicle that offers a lot of features for a very good price. The base model starts very affordably in the low teens and you can upgrade to other trims for just a little bit more. It's a small car, so it's great for city driving; but it's boxy shape makes it feel roomy inside. I'm over 6 feet tall and my head doesn't even come close to hitting the ceiling, and I have plenty of leg room (and so do the rear seat passengers.)
