2020 KIA Soul X-Line
By: Cathy Droz
When it comes to cars I like to think of them as extensions of the family, not just transportation. I’m
driving different cars every week so I need to make an attachment quickly. I sometimes speak to my
test vehicles about work, family or what I really like about them… including their internal gut or SOUL.
This week I test drove the KIA Soul X-Line and decided it matched up very well with my well-needed
fitness choice. At Planet Fitness they post signs such as “Judgement Free Zone” and “No Critics”. This
resonated with me because when the SOUL first came out in 2008, at the Paris Motor Show, it was
judged unfairly by many automotive enthusiasts, journalists and the buying public.
After my test drive, I believe consumers and experts alike need to rethink judging so quickly and give it a
try… after all the MSRP on a KIA Soul X-Line is $21,490 and as tested: $22,615. For more go to

PS – I’m also glad there is “no judgement” in the gym because I need a lot of work to get fit and wear
workout clothes to the grocery store.
