How compare a mediocre kia to NISSAN. We should be realistic, kia sells thanks to massive and annoying adverts, nothing else and even like this, the cars are no reliable at all. I would not buy a car with more problems with transmissions than any other maker

I cant wait to get my Kia Soul

The cube is a fugly car.

I'm really glad I went with the soul because it looks more aggressive and also sportier. I get a lot of people coming up to me saying that the soul looks really good and are always saying that they want this car.

I just purchased a 2012 Kia Soul. It was a choice between the Soul and the Cube and I feel I made the right choice without hesitation. Great and fun car indeed.

Could someone tell me what trim soul that is?

From a design point...I hate the cube. I do not like how the back door opens nor do I like the boxy and curvy shapes. I live where it is windy so that door might slam on some fingers. The interior is nice on the Cube, but the flat windows create a glare. I bought myself a Soul +

i dont beleive anyone saying cube sales are higher than the souls, i think your makeing it up. just got my 2012 last week, and i am impressed. you must not have been in a kia dealership in the last 4 years, yes they were not good years ago but that has changed, go see for yourself or not i dont care. anyway there is talk already of shitcanning your precious cube, HAIL THE SOUL

@drumkendrum I usually point fingers at people who drive Cube's, when i pass their ugly boxes in my G35x :P

I'm gonna be honest and say I love the Nissan brand! They've always made great cars, but the cube just looks so bad! And in the past two years the Hyundai-Kia is really becoming a lot more up scale! The Soul just looks great and I rather be seen in a Soul than a Cube.
