My Kia Soul is mechanically sound. It is cosmetically attractive with the intricate detailing in the steering wheel. It has lights that are interchangeable with most bulbs at auto shops so it is not costly when one blows. It holds a nice amount of gas in liters. I don't have to spend a lot of money on gas. It has an ECO mode option that you can turn on and off for trips to help save gas. I like the back lights on my dashboard. I love the wide seating and reclining/foldable seats.
