Kia Soul Tops KBB's List Of 10 Best Back-To-School Cars
Online, August 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - With the summer quickly coming to an end, students are anxious to get back into their college housing and parents are looking forward to getting back the spare room in the house. For those looking to ride back to campus in style, there are plenty of new cars that are both fun and affordable to choose from but one sits alone at the top. The Kia Soul has been garnering accolades since its introduction to the United States in 2010 and now Kelly Blue Book has recognized it as the number one back-to-school car for 2012.
The low price tag, recent engine and transmission upgrades, fuel economy, youthful design, and a whole host of safety and tech features make the 2012 Kia Soul an easy pick for the young and the young-at-heart. With its edgy lines and fun colors, the Soul looks like nothing else on the road. It really stands out in a world full of sedans and SUVs that are quickly starting to resemble jelly beans. 6-speed automatic or manual transmissions mean that the Souls 1.6 or 2.0 liter engines can achieve the fuel efficiency we have come to expect from far less exciting rides too. And for protective parents, worried about their young student's safety, the Soul offers features like four-wheel, anti-lock disk brakes, vehicle stability management, and even Bluetooth and iPod integration with steering wheel controls that help keep the driver's eyes on the road.
In addition to being named as the top back-to-school pick for 2012, the Soul has also been mentioned on KBB's top 10 lists for several other categories, including Top Ten Coolest Cars Under $18,000 and Top Ten Safe New Cars For Teens. If Kelly Blue Book's reviews and assessment of the Soul is not enough, stop by the Cumberland Kia dealership in Cookeville, TN to check one out in person and go on a test drive or visit our website at http://www.cumberlandkia.com/ for more vehicle information.
