2012 Kia Soul
I like the Kia Soul more than its mini-box rivals. It's cheap & cheerful, crisply styled in a way the doughy Nissan Cube should emulate. But I was disappointed in the newly revised powertrain. It's more advanced in terms of engine tech, output figures and number of gears yet it all added up to a pretty gutless and vague driving experience. I don't recal that from the 2011 model. The automatic transmission is probably a poor choice for this car if you know how to shift.
It's also no small matter that Kia burdens the Soul with a bunch of dowdy colors and the Alien green they sent us. Aside from Alien, all the rest are drab or black and do this car no favors. It needs a red, a light metallic blue and a bright, shiny silver on the palette.
