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

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
