Kelley Blue Book is like a bible for the auto world.  I’ve referenced it and I am sure you have a time or two, especially when you wanted to see the trade in value for your preowned car Waukegan.  If KBB votes your car, truck or SUV as a cool model, then you must be driving something great.  This is the case for the 2010 Kia Soul, as KBB has named it one of the “Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000″.  

KBB chose the Soul for the second year in a row and used several criteria for creating it’s top 10 list.  They considered fuel economy, comfort, technology, safety, and interior size- those items that most everyone takes into consideration when buying new or Gurnee used cars.  But, they also added another “cool” criteria.  The 2010 Soul combines fun-to-own and fun-to-drive in a great way that makes it worthy of making the “cool” list.

The 2010 Soul, according to a top Kia staffer, keeps drawing shoppers into their favorite Kia dealer.  It’s funky design as well as being a great value, are big selling points with interested buyers.  Having something a little different than your mainstream preowned car Waukegan sedan or coupe keeps the line up fresh, attracting buyers of all different ages and walks of life.

The Soul comes in several different trim options:  The base, +, !, and Sport.  Yes, that’s correct, the plus sign and exclamation point are not typos, but actually “Names” give to Soul trims.  Kind of fits this model, since it’s quirky and fun!  The base Soul comes with a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine that gives 122 HP.   Stepping it up to another trim you’ll get the pleasure of a 2.0 Liter, inline-four that ups HP to 142.   Not bad driving!

The 2010 Soul also comes with antilock brakes, stability control, front side and side curtain airbags.  The interior is also pretty cool.  You can get upholstery that glows in the dark and/or colorful seating to spice up the common black, gray and white interiors found in other Gurnee used cars!

Come and check out the 2010 Kia Soul for yourself- see if this modern, boxy style fits you!
