The 2010 KIA Soul

Amy Stepp
With living in LaGrange, Georgia and the new KIA facility practically in my back yard I have often wondered what kind of cars the KIA manufacturer produces. After being curious long enough I did some research on the web on the 2010 KIA Soul. I chose this vehicle because of the price, but after many articles read, and many questions answered later, I realized the price of this car is not the only thing that shows up on the pros list. There are so many other positive things about this car that I believe it offers something for everyone.

Now let me begin by saying there are four different kids of KIA Souls, the base, the +, the ! and the sport. I will not go into detail about four types, just the KIA Soul + that I searched on. It is the second in the line and not the cheapest one, however it is not the most expensive one either, but the amenities is comes with are worth the price!

The KIA Soul + starts out at 14,000 and even though it is a compact car, it has so many great features for you money. The 2.0 liter engine produces 142 horsepowers, this little car has alot of pick up and go! Open your new KIA Soul + with the remote entry and set yourself inside the 4-speed automatic transmission (which is optional for $950 more) and set back for a smooth ride on your 16 inch alloy wheels. Set the cruise control on directly from your steering wheel during your Sunday afternoon drive, hook up your phone with it's blue tooth capability so you will not be in any danger when your phone rings and enjoy the rear tinted window as well. A few other optional features on the KIA Soul + are a power moon-roof and fog-lights that will cost you an extra $800 and an audio package (five tweeter speakers, sub-woofer, and external amp) for another extra $400.

Now that we have the looks of the KIA Sport + out of the way, I think the next key important factor in choosing this automobile is the safety features that are offered. Like I said this is a compact car, however it does not lack in safety. Each KIA comes equipped with 6 air bags, the electronic stability control, a tire pressure monitor and much, much more.

Now for the much awaited review, the gas part. I know with the prices in today's economy always fluctuating, it is hard to know what we will pay for a gallon of gas tomorrow. With the gas going high one day and maybe dropping a penny the next we tend to start looking at vehicles that will help us out in the long run in better gas mileage. The KIA Soul + is a great way to conserve gas! For starters, it is a compact car and compact cars are a number one need when it comes time to watch your wallets at the pump, but it does not stop there because the KIA Soul + has a 12.7 gallon tank. Fill it up and enjoy 24 miles to the gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway! Can someone please say this with me, ROAD TRIP HERE WE COME!
