Hi Guys,

1. Its ride quality.
2. FC

It is a good city car with it's relatively spacious interior for four or five people. Although the smaller 1.6L engine worried me that it might make it underpowered. I have driven the 2.0L version and it felt good even with a full load.

Cargo space is limited but can be expanded by folding down the rear seats, just like the Jazz and similar hatchback cars.

The SOUL's main appeal is the peppy exterior look which for me, looks like a big Mini Cooper.

Just note that the SOUL is NOT a SUV (because many people tend to compare it to the CRV, RAV4, etc). Think of it as a full sized hatchback car. With that thought, there are other cars with better value of rmoney.

So if you are not as sold with the Kia SOUL, I would suggest checking out other options available to you for a similar budget. (Example: Lancer EX GLX M/T).

Ahh... I thought its in the same range as CRV, RAV4 as its tagged as "CROSSOVER"... its more of the sub-compact size car pala..

How about its Fuel Consumption?? and does this have discounts as well??

875K is not a steal kasi driver side airbag lang sya. no roofrails, no foglights, and others na present sa hip Kia soul design like graphics, chrome fuel lid, rear spolier.

it's a stripped down soul. comparable sa entry-level Hyundai Tucson. best thing lang about this is it's A/T. although i'm not sure about fuel economy since 1.6 lang ito

Ahh... stripped version entry level pala yung 1.6 nila.. kala ko merong spoiler, graphic design and others...

Matipid ba sa gas ung CVVT? parang CVT ng honda jazz, lancer mx...

just over ten seconds for 0-100 kph. Average performance for a 1.6L car.

A CVT car can be light on the gas as long as there isn't too much traffic.

Example, my Lancer EX 2.0L GLS (CVT) can get 8 to nearly 11 km/L on sundays. But during weekdays it will only get between 6 to 8.5km/L.
