Kia Soul 2010

The all-new 2010 Soul represents a big change for South Korean automaker Kia. Known best for their budget-priced cars, Kia is jumping ahead into the world of cutting-edge styling and customization with this new box on wheels.

The base-model Kia Soul gets a 122 horsepower 1.6 liter engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, while the sport version with the old-tech 4-speed automatic.

The tires grip the road nicely and there’s very little body lean in the curves, which is especially important in a car that feels this narrow and tall. Safety-wise, the Soul comes with a full complement of airbags, antilock brakes, and standard electronic stability control (ESC). Crash test scores have been excellent, in fact, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety named the Soul a Top Safety Pick for its combination of strong occupant protection and standard ESC.
