Reviews SummaryWith few exceptions, the 2015 Kia Soul provides everything the average person might need, along with surprise-and-delight upgrades he or she might want. More power would be nice, as well as additional trunk space and a couple of extra safety features, but these ultimately represent nitpicks against what is a terrific car brimming with personality, loaded with value, and equipped with the technology, safety ratings, and quality scores that help the Soul ascend from good to great. | |
Reviews SummaryWith nearly 10,000 Versas sold in the U.S. every month for the past half-decade, you’ve likely seen a few on the road. More likely, you’ve passed them. In order to infuse some hatchback heat into the brand, Nissan took its very successful Note from Asian markets and added the Versa name for U.S. shores. For 2015 it offers two new trims, the SR and SL, which add some sport pretensions and tech chops to the compact crossover. | |
