2010 Kia Soul

If you're searching for a vehicle that can hold all 30 of your worldly possessions, your four best friends and your iPhone (while simultaneously fulfilling a need for self-expression), Kia believes it has a Soul for you.
The Soul is offered with a choice of two class-standard DOHC inline 4-cylinder powerplants, both of which have Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT). Available only on the base trim, the 1.6-liter variant produces a modest yet adequate 122 horsepower at 6300 rpm and 115 lb-ft torque at 6000 rpm. This matches that of the upcoming Nissan Cube, with the Soul touting a roughly 200-pound weight advantage.
