Call me a SOUL less Atheist if you wish, but I am not impressed with this Kia inCARnation. Time will tell, and Roger Rabbit may like the looks of it, but God save my SOUL, I think it is ugly.

Hey DAVE, the engine in the SOUL is the same as the engine in the Kia Spectra. The same engine that carried our Spectra 625,000 miles (not a typo). Toyota’s engine’s are not any more BULLET PROOF than Kia’s, it’s just that Toyota’s been in the USA a lot longer. Congrats, you bought into Toyota’s crap. When you have engine trouble at 80,000 miles, you’ll be wishing you had the 100k warranty. Oh, and the Soul beat the xB with safety.

Just purchased a new Scion xB.. I looked and drove the new SOUL and found to be an excelent contender to the xB SCION.. The reason I bought the TOYOTA product is it has the reliability that only TOYOTA can provide. And the SCION in 2009 earned 5 star crash ratings.best in class… KIA, resale is still in the basement after you put your hard earned cash down on it..Im sorry but the SCION has GOBS of power and a tried and proven BULLET PROOF engine and drive train that doesnt need a 100 thousand mi. warrantee (TOYOTA NISSAN HONDA never offered big warantees) They dont need to, They dont make JUNK. Oh by the way, HUNDAI and KIA are the same company.. Not saying that the KIA is junk.. But just wait three years and see which car is worth more. OH, BY THE WAY I THINK THE CUBE IS DOWN RIGHT UGLY. I dont know what Nisson was thinking..

That’s impressive for small cars like the Soul to get a 5 star crash safety rating. That’s is very good. Just another reason why I think the Soul should get the car of the year award.

Kia Soul did it really well in the crash test! Just look at the cabin, it’s like it was untouched. Great result for the Soul. I bet this will spur already good sales performance of the car.
