The Kia Soul is a car with a desired taste. It has its advantages of being small and maneuverable with a fair amount of space for a very small family or just couples.

Overall comfort is good with adjustable seating and great dashboard and center console.

Transmission can be a problem when running uphill. The car seems to have a noticable delay when revving to get up the hill and it doesn't seem to pull compared to other vehicles I have driven.

Fuel Economy is good for a compact SUV, although, with its small size and weight, it isn't quite as good as what I had hoped. It is best to leave the Eco on whenever possible.

Whether winter or summer, the car operates satisfactorily, but don't expect it to be a race horse.
