Miles Overview
The 2012 Soul is Kia's boxy compact hatchback, a budget-friendly alternative to the Nissan Cube and Scion xB. It's nimble and easy to park, with a light steering feel that makes city driving a breeze. The cabin is surprisingly roomy for the size, with tall seats and good headroom front and back. Some owners mention the steering wheel controls can act up and the A/C may smell on max cool, but these aren't widespread. The GL is the base Soul, and it keeps things simple with the smaller 1.6L I4 and a manual transmission standard; this one has the optional six-speed automatic. The 1.6L I4 makes 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to keep up in traffic, and the six-speed automatic shifts smoothly for daily driving. You won't find alloy wheels or a power moonroof on the GL, but it still gets the tall, roomy cabin and the fold-flat rear seats that open up 53.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
