Full review: www.carbuyer.co.uk As a distinctive alternative to the likes of the Ford Fiesta, the Kia Soul offers lots of interior space and the beefed up looks of a 4x4, in a compact, easy to drive package. Aimed at younger drivers, there's an ever-changing raft of special editions, each 'themed' in a certain way with particular colours and trim options. Previous examples have included a flagship, luxury spec car, and a matt black model finished in bright red stickers. There are two 1.6-litre engines to choose from. One diesel, and one petrol.
