The Kia Soul has always been a little different. It's not quite a car, not quite an SUV, and somehow looks like it was designed by someone who started with a very practical box and then decided, You know what? Let's make this fun. And this one gets even better because it has something you almost never see anymore: a 6-speed manual transmission.
This 2016 Kia Soul Base is finished in Shadow Black and powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder, paired with that 6-speed manual and front-wheel drive. It delivers an EPA-estimated 24 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, has a surprising amount of passenger and cargo room for its size, and was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick. Kelley Blue Book even put the 2016 Soul on its list of the 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000. Apparently, in 2016, being shaped like a toaster was cool. And actuallyI think it still kind of is.
Manual transmission. Great practicality. Good fuel economy. And it's a Kia Soul. If you've been saying, I wish somebody would make a practical little box that I can shift myself, this is an oddly specific opportunity.
