Here is yet another first drive report that I have found on the net. As I reported, several UK car magazines have been invited to Korea, where they test-drove Korean-spec Kia Soul crossovers.
This time, the UK Autocar published their first impressions:
Should I buy one?
The Kia’s killer blow, apart from its looks, will be value for money. The range will start just under Ł11,000 – keen for a car that looks genuinely different from anything else on the road, which is packed with generous standard kit and backed up by the best warranty in the business.
Yes, this is the first Kia that deserves consideration on the basis of image alone. And although we can’t help wishing that the driving experience was as compelling, if it grabs your attention then you’re probably going to want one, no matter what… read more!

i read the entire article. thats a good article. the few that we’ve seen are are saying the ride isn’t that great but they also note its a short little car and on bad roads. i’m in dallas and we have some of the best freeways in the country where i’m @ so i’m not worried about that at all. my car now has low-profile Z rated tires and i love the way it rides, feel every bump & imperfections but to a sense that you just know what is going on rather than not enjoying it. make sense?

Another article that I have seen at one German website says that Kia has found a perfect balance between the comfort and sportiness with the Soul’s setup.
I’ll post that one tomorrow…
