2017 Kia Soul 1.6T Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Around town the Kia Soul rides pretty well for a car with a short wheelbase but not a short height. On the highway, though, the Soul's ride can become annoyingly bumpy. If much of your driving will be on the highway, be sure to test drive the Kia on the... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Mini Countryman |
2015 Kia Soul EV Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Soul EV's ride, while far from punishing or even annoying, can feel somewhat busy on subpar roads. The e-Golf, in contrast, has the road manners of a more expensive car. Comparison vehicle: 2015 Volkswagen Golf / GTI |

2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Though the e-Golf costs about the same as the Soul EV, it rides and generally feels like a much more expensive car. Roads in my area have frost heaves, potholes, and disintegrating pavement to spare. The e-Golf sailed across the lumps almost as if they weren't there. It's tight and...

2014 Kia Soul ! Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh When I reviewed the 2012 Soul, I wasn't able to come up with enough "why to buys" to fill all five slots. This time around I had the opposite problem. Kia has improved the Soul far more thoroughly than I imagined it would, or even could. (The also redesigned-for-2014 Forte...

2014 FIAT 500L Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With its FSD struts and shocks, Koni attempts to offer adaptive damping (softer rebound over bumps, firmer rebound when turning) at much less cost and complexity than with electrically-adaptive dampers. FIAT installs these Konis up front in the performance-oriented 500 Abarth--and at all four corners in even the... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Kia Soul |

2013 Kia Soul review (3 week rental) 2013 Kia Soul Pros and Cons jrexplore The RIDE is tuned for smooth pavement, and the car bounces around too much over pavement joints. The ride on gravel roads is very harsh, and was our only complaint in all the driving we did. I would look into better tires and shocks to improve this situation. The car... |

2012 Kia Soul ! Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh At speeds under 40, the Soul rides fairly well, even on the !'s low-profile 235/45R18 tires (the other trim levels have 16-inch wheels). Above that speed, though, the Soul can ride roughly. Even modest bumps upset its composure. Regularly-spaced tar strips on the highway induce rhythmic bouncing and a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d...

2010 Kia Soul Pros and Cons Member3660 Although I have the ! I refused to take the 18" wheels. Glad I did not get them. The ride is stable but for longer trips over rougher roads its not as comfortable as it could be. A little more foam for the seats and a littly... |

2010 Kia Soul Pros and Cons A member in Arizona, United States I find it smooth, but I could see others being distracted by the bounciness of the tires and the noise through the thin doors. |
