Are you ready for your first car? Want something more fun and cool than the boring regular sedans your mom and dad drive? The Kia Soul is a car that is young, fresh and modern with a lime shape like no other. It has a unique square shape and is sure to attract a lot of attention on the streets. You can even choose to buy it in super bright, attention-grabbing colors like super bright green and orange. There are even body-color bumpers available to complement your ride. This is definitely not your grandmother’s car!
Buyers can select from several available trim levels; Basic, Plus, Exclaim and Sport. The Soul is extremely customizable; There are bright color options and matching seats that light up and glow in the dark, colorful interior accents for a fun-loving exterior. The base model is equipped with a 1.6-liter V4 engine with 122 hp. The power isn’t intense as this isn’t a performance or sports car, but it’s more than enough for everyday driving and running errands around town. Handling is decent and ride quality is smooth. Gas mileage is 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. The cabin is well insulated and remains quiet even during highway driving. There is a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission available. The curb weight of the vehicle is approximately 2,820 pounds.
The Soul features quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Standard features include a four-speaker stereo audio system, power door locks, power windows, adjustable steering wheel, air conditioning, and compatibility with most mp3 players. Some of the higher level versions are equipped with Bluetooth support. Safety features include a full airbag system, electronic stability control, head restraints, traction control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The side airbags are full-length, meaning they protect passengers in both rows. This package comes with an amplifier, external speakers, and even color-changing “speaker lights.” The premium package comes with rich leather-trimmed seats that are climate controlled.
What the Soul brings to the table is a very reasonable price and a vehicle that is both contemporary and cool; it’s the perfect car for anyone who wants a modern vehicle that can be modified at will. Pricing for the base model starts at around $13,700. It’s a perfect “first car” for someone just out of high school or a college student.
