In general, when you look at this car, then there is just a breakdown of stamps. Cubism, which is so popular in the east and is not perceived in Europe and nevertheless, clearly sets the tone here. Koreans have successfully brought the second to the European market successfully. And how successfully it was possible to adapt the eastern value to capricious European, including ours, tastes.
For example, me, as a representative of the Caucasian part of mankind, such cubism not only does not irritate, but vice versa, it is pleasant to the eye. But why did we most have a new generation of Souls? Here you should recall the acquaintance with the first generation. The design was already attracted to us then, but here is the suspension…
She just shakes the soul on an ordinary Russian road. Jumping, wooden. Moreover, I can endure the clamped running chassis, say, from a hot -hachi or a sorted compartment, you understand what to control such machines is a pleasure. But here there was no handling. In general, by setting a fat cross, we forgot about that novelty about that kia. And here is the second coming. Looking at the beautiful and huge “rollers” R18 I got behind the wheel with trepidation. Of course, we immediately note the buried interior with more pleasant materials. Moreover, the Koreans retained the direction to the youth audience. The main question – whether the suspension settings changed in Kia – after the first hole disappeared. Changed, moreover, in the right direction.
Actually, we once expected from the unit of a smeared American smoothness, because a car was designed by an American design studio, and then Europe! Moreover, a certain jump on an uneven road remained. But we were not in vain noted such large low -profile wheels. Beauty, of course, terrible power. However, it is she in our case that adds stiffness. But in general, the new Soul has become more comfortable, including thanks to improved sound insulation. We think that on more mundane tires, say R16, this car will go at all at home. This instance has a 1.6 -liter gasoline engine, 124 horsepower and a six -speed “automatic”. Good ligament, although the transmission here works somehow in the variator. Still, the “duration” of the engine is affected by economists. I would probably take a diesel, especially since the Koreans are very painful, which the owners of the first seconds appreciated. Well, finally, we note a rich equipment, up to the rear view camera and non -cloth access.
