KIA Soul is the new product from KIA Motors. This small car is intended to be released in 2010. KIA Soul base is equipped with a standard 1.6-liter, I4, 122-horsepower engine and 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The Sport edition is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 142-horsepower engine, 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Basically, the ride is rather hard. The gears shift almost like that of a manual. Mines is automatic. The new brake ffeel is taking me some timw getting use to. Stops on a dime. The only real thing I dont like is how the interior scratches way to easy, need a hard finish. Love going down the road and getting the looks and finger pointing. Walking up to my vehicle and people are looking in it as though they would be looking to buy it LOL, even had someone asked if they could sit in it.
