No dancing hamsters required—the Kia Soul is truly fun and practical, which helps it earn a 2017 10Best award. Driving the front wheels is your choice of either a 130-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder with a six-speed manual or automatic, or a 161-hp 2.0-liter four with the automatic. The 201-hp 1.6-liter turbo four is the brawniest of the bunch and comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard at this price point, and a panoramic sunroof is optional.
