Kia Soul
They had the guts to build it and today, they are delighted they did. This cube shaped vehicle looks like a toy for big kids, but in reality, the Soul is extremely practical, reaching people of all ages. Despite its very colourful interior, it is comfortable, versatile, and especially very pleasant to drive. Its 1.6 and 2.0-litre four-cylinder engines develop 122 and 142 horsepower, respectively while it's road handling is just above par, no more, no less.
