2002 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 This car was engineered and assemble in Japan and it makes a difference. The post 1995 Pathfinders were built in the US and their reliability has been significantly worse. I would not buy a US built Pathfinder. see full Nissan Pathfinder review

2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Kia and Hyundai deservedly are darlings of the car industry now. But even in 2010, Kia still was shedding their old "I could not afford a Japanese car" image. It was one of my biggest reservations about buying. Their image keeps on improving. see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.6L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Kia has always been seen a cheap line see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I bought the car for the car, and not for the brand. When I bought my Honda Fit, part of that was because of the Honda brand. see full Kia Soul review
2010 4dr Hatch 142-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Negative connotations with Kia. see full Kia Soul review
