Kia Soul-$16,995
The Kia Soul is a small crossover that has a tall cabin and gives you a lot at a bargain price. It has an angular exterior that has mixed reviews, but few can argue against its roomy and thoughtfully designed interior. It has three models that feature different powertrains. The base has a 130 hp engine, the Plus trim a 161 hp, and the top Exclaim features a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 201 hp and is mated to a new seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. The top model is priced just below $25,000. If you desire convenience, safety and comfort technology such as heated seats, a heated steering wheel, collision avoidance aids you will have to spend above $25,000.
