In many ways, the Kia Soul is the perfect urban wagon, capable of U-turns on narrow streets. But therein lies the rub, bump, rattle and grind. The things New Yorkers call “streets” are brutal traps for lightweight, tiny, front-wheel-drive city wagons. When its 18-inch wheels hit potholes, the Soul shudders, as do the spirits and bodies of occupants.

This feels distinctly more carlike, and elegantly so: Though the materials are hard, most have a textured finish that looks respectable. The gauges have high-rent, if uninspired, backlighting, and the A/C dials and turn signals move with sturdy, well-oiled precision.
