CD (Certificate of Deposit) RatesWe’re awfully taken with the 2010 Kia Soul, which just went on sale this spring.
We admit that part of the appeal are the hilarious ads with the tune-loving, claw-tapping, commuting rodents.
But Bankaholic’s Auto Critic (yeah, we’re full of surprises) has spent some time behind the wheel and thinks the Soul is a good buy. Here’s what he has to say:
“The Kia is about the edgiest thing going, with a wedgy rollerskate shape that’s much more stylish than the slightly odd box-mobiles that have targeted young drivers in the past.
“Scion xB and Honda Element. We’re talking about you.
“But I’m not recommending the Soul strictly for its styling chops.
“Like many Korean models, it’s stuffed with the latest electronic features and safety equipment, yet still carries an aggressively low price. Standard for every Soul (there are four trim levels) are must-haves such as electronic stability control, antilock brakes and six airbags.
“The best buy is the Soul+. Included in its $14,950 base price 
are air-conditioning, power windows and locks and remote keyless entry, a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity.
“Add the $950 automatic transmission to back its unassuming 142-horsepower, 2-liter engine, and the $400 audio upgrade, and the Soul+ is a mega-cool and frugal compact that goes out the door for $16,995 (that even includes the $695 destination charge).”
