Very Cool Car
Source: Cars.com

...So far I have enjoyed an average of 26mpg mixed driving with about 800 miles driven. My only complaint really, is the BlueTooth feature. It's junk! Everybody I talk to on it says I'm scratchy and difficult to understand if they can hear me at all. However, on my end I can hear everbody just fine, it sounds great. It connects quickly to my phone and transfers my address book without any problems. It's just that the quality is bad. I just need to take it to the service department I guess when I have some free time."...

the SUV with a soul of a sports car
Source: MSN Autos

...Love the standard Bose sound system and the loud revs of the engine! Cons: A bit rough on the smaller concret bumps... the aluminum finishes are not as optimal to wear and tear as wood trims. I wish the back is a little bit bigger but then again, the fx is like a very healthy athlete, if the junk in the chunk is too big, it'll lose its agility and sacrafice its styling. Overall: Love this car with my heart and soul! Simply by looking at the car, you know its just not your typical soccer mom SUV... its a force to be rekon with! I even let my friends drive it sometimes, and they definetely...

LOVE THIS CAR!!

..."2 months ago, I got the Soul Exclaim-and have just had a blast with it!
It is roomy (my husband is 6'2 and can easily sit in it) and fun to drive and has a nice bit of zoom to it.
The sound system is great and I love the speaker lights!
I like the look of it and especially love my sunroof!
If you are looking for a fun, zippy car to drive around in with great safety features, this is it! I got the fabulous green color called Alien! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!"...

Tristan

...Pros: Much more room than expected, especially in the back seat.
I drove this car 1 hour each way to and from work every day for 2 years...very comfortable and great gas mileage!
Love the bluetooth and other steering wheel features.
This is the first car I've owned where friends, family and random strangers alike get excited and want to see inside.
Cons: The map lights have always rattled and it gets annoying...fortunately the stereo is great and drowns it out :) Overall: Love my Tristan,
I've had him for 2 and a half years now and have recommended this car to...

...i love the car it looks cool, great gas mileage. lots of room, the only thing i don't like is the seats could be more comforatable. a nice comfy seat and this car is perfect for today's driving...

Excellant All Around Vehicle
Source: CarGurus

...It had no problem keeping up with the 75 mph I 25 speed limit and still had plenty of power left to pass trucks on the hills. It was great on the mountain roads to Taos and backhome via Leadville Co. over several high mountain passes. The overall mileage was 32.71. We put on 900 miles in three days and it performed flawlessly. It was fun to drive and quite comfortable. The driving position is very good with good visibility and good handling. One feels very safe and secure driving the Soul. Its five door hatchback/wagon versatility is amaxing. It more than surpassed our expectations for a...

Fun Car
Source: Cars.com

..."I purchased my Soul in January and I love it. The car is totally loaded with features.
The stereo is awesome and I traded in my Cadillac for this car. This is the best car purchase I have ever made. BTW I spend $26.00 on a tank of gas and it lasts a long time."...

so far so good
Source: Cars.com

..."bought this car in april msrp about 18k but made a good deal.only put 1.3k miles in it but it is so far so good.gas milege is very disappointing; 22.7 for first fillup 23 for second,
23.5 for third so so on. i hope it will increase because it is a new car so i will have to wait.everything is find except for the plastic interior quality.
if u scratch hard, it won't gone and u cant really put bulky sunglasses in the case.
but overall it is a good car and i dont even expect leather all over the car so plastic is not a thing i do care about...

It's Ok
Source: Edmunds

...Great interior space and a bunch of standard features.
Excellent light clutch, braking and steering. Nice fuel economy (30 City/30.5 Hwy @70- 75mph), but I believe it could do better HWY with a 6th gear.
(3000RPM @ 60mph) Very noisy at speeds over 60mph. Plenty of air bags and excellent warranty. Great value...

#10
Great car for the money
Source: Cars.com

..."My daughter received this car as a graduation present and was just thrilled!
It had all the little 'extras' she wanted (sunroof, flashing speakers, tinted windows) and all the safety features we wanted (side impact airbags, great reviews on safety).
Only thing I wish it had is daytime running lights or that it would automatically turn off the headlights when the car is turned off.
Otherwise, we all love this car for the room, the value, and the cuteness factor!"...

Why should I also consider these?

The 2010 Kia Soul takes on a trio of popular, hip-styled wagons and one just arriving in showrooms.

The Chrysler PT Cruiser and Chevrolet HHR are kissing American cousins, both offering four-cylinder engines and formerly nifty retro styling that has simply not aged well.

The PT Cruiser has been cancelled, so deals are exceptional.

The Scion xB is the newer version of the compact wagon that launched Toyota's youth brand; the current version has sold more slowly, as it's grown larger and heavier and lost its Japanese flair.

The Nissan Cube is the other newbie in the group; with a smaller overall size, a less functional interior, and an unusual tailgate shape, its appeal lies mostly in its softer, feminine style.

 
2010 Chevrolet HHR
The 2010 Chevrolet HHR has love-it-or-hate-it styling, but it should appeal to those who want good cargo capability in an economical ride.
 
2010 Nissan Cube
The spacious, refined 2010 Nissan Cube makes a whole lot of sense for city dwellers, and it'll get you more attention than many sport coupes.
 
2010 Scion xB
The 2010 Scion xB has a lot of space, polarizing looks, and lots of safety features. It provides good value for those on a budget, trendy or not.
