The staff of Car and Driver have
been heartily cranking out the current events and all other goods car-related
from Ann Arbor Michigan for many years now, giving those who are heavily into
horsepower and torque their monthly dose. Originally founded as Sports
Cars Illustrated in 1955, they at that time were primarily focusing on
the imported sports car variety. Instead of electing a car of the year, they
now choose to focus on their annual top ten picks, publishing their highly
anticipated Car and Driver 10Best list.
It's no surprise that there is now one of these
lists dedicated to Crossover SUVs, which as they admitted has lately gone from
“nowhere to white-hot” in terms of popularity. The 2019 Kia Soul was chosen as
their 1st class favorite, and pricing that starts well below
$20,000. Millennials have flocked to the snappy looks and packaging, and test
drives from many separate blogs have rendered the Soul
one of the most absolute fun-to-handle vehicles on the market. A 130-hp
1.6-liter four-cylinder is the engine standard, with available 161-hp 2.0-liter
and 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter on deck for more gusto.
The highly experienced staff at KBB.com claimed
after a few drives in the current Soul
that its “roomy and versatile interior shines bright,” and that it is one of
the absolute most confident drivers in its segment. One of the things that
people compliment us about time and time again here at Jim Butler Kia is the warranties that
they receive with their new purchase: the Kia Soul proudly offers a
10-year/100,000 -mile powertrain warranty. The peace of mind that is obtained
from knowing you won't incur an extra charge if something standard goes wrong
early in the game is massive, and helps young entrepreneurs and families have a
better pathway to obtaining their dreams.
We love to tout the Soul
as our brandished-and-best secret weapon to battle the likes of the Honda HR-V,
Nissan Kicks, and Toyota Corolla Hatchback in sales and overall market share.
Also snagging great reviews for its resale value, the Soul has had many
frequent customers on KBB.com praise it for its reliability, with
many having no mechanical problems whatsoever during the first four years of ownership.
One buyer right here in St Louis said he was thrilled that at his 6' 2” height,
the Soul still provided a very comfortable and capable daily driver for him
that he looked forward to riding in every single commute.
Another very satisfied customer claimed that after
driving 100 miles every single day to work and back, she has had not one single
issue, and will probably trade it in on a new one. We hope to help you chase
away the late-winter's blues with our friendly advice and assistance from our sales
and service staff here at Jim Butler: The Soul and many other great choices are
here waiting for you to discover their awesome tech features, unbelievable
safety offerings, and robust reliability!
