Impressed with this brand

My family was pretty much aHonda driving family. We went out on a limb with the purchase and was ultimately impressed. We always viewed kia as your economy brand and the reason for purchase was because the price was right and it was stylish and got good fuel economy. What I didn't expect was how fun and zippy of a drive it was. Not only did it get up when needed it handled turns with grace. I never had problems finding a parking spot because of its more compact size. The storage wasnt the best but it had enough space for my everyday needs.

Most reliable car I've owned

Car has height for a small car and a tight turning radius. Front wheel drive helps with parallel parking.

Nice car for the money

Kia did a good job on the design. There are some nice features if you go with the + model. Drives nice. A bit on the rough side. More like an pickup and less luxury.

Now I have Soul

The Soul amazes me with it deceiving amount of room. Leg room and head room are more than adequate for my 5foot 11 inch frame.
