2010 Kia Forte is The Car of The Month!

In the compact car market, competition is stiff, and contenders are plentiful. When thinking of a high-performance sedan with both style and value, it’s a challenge to narrow it down to just one top pick. After driving the 2010 Kia Forte, it’s clear to see that this car is a worthy, if not surprising, choice for NADAguides.com “Car of the Month” for August. Not many cars can boast a full package when it comes to design features, price, performance and fuel economy, but the Forte leaves a lasting impression with all that and more.

MarketWatch’s Review of 2010 Kia Soul

2010 Kia SOUL

MarketWatch.com has a review of 2010 Kia Soul.

As the test week rolled along, I warmed up nicely to the Soul. It was kind of like someone discovering at age 40 that they liked Aretha Franklin. The neat styling, welcoming interior, good storage space for this size vehicle and its solid build won me over.

By week's end, the Soul had moved to the top of the list of my favorite compact boxy cars, sans a week in the new Nissan Cube. It's good fun to run errands in and Kia's 10-year, 100,000 mile warranty should not be overlooked.

Kia SOUL in USA Today

2010 Kia Soul Interior

2010 Kia Soul Interior

Kia's new Soul shows the company has a sense of humor and a sense of adventure.

...

The boxy shape is appealingly honest. Rectangles are just what they appear to be — roomy containers. And when designers start with a box, delightful things happen to passenger space and comfort.

For a little car — same length as a Honda Fit — Soul packages enough space to haul adults and their gear in comfort, though three-across in back is a skosh tight. But fore-aft room is generous. In fact, the back seat has nearly as much legroom as most cars' front seats — meaning it has a lot more than most rear seats.

Lanky adults can sit back there without rubbing knees against the back of the front seat, even when it's back far enough for tall folks in front.

For another thing, a box swallows a lot more stuff than you'd get inside a car with the same footprint but a sloping roofline.
