City driving needs a special type of car and what better one than the Kia Sol. The Kia Sol, other wised known as the Kia Soul, has the technical ability to handle stop and go driving, plus the freedom of interstate highways. This hybrid of gasoline and electricity has a unique style and a proven track record, bringing thousands to the Kia sales floors.
The unusually designed car, with its uncommon color choice, provides a certain quirky charm. The car has a boxy design which surprisingly has some aerodynamic qualities. As far as colors are concern, a more traditional taste probably would choose the deep grey of Titanium, to give the car a respectable appearance. For the fun at heart, the lime green called Alien would create a type of artsy feel to this unusually shaped car.
Inside is nothing but a sense of comfort. The Kia Sol was designed with the driver and passengers in mind. With a lot of leg and head room, a person can stretch out and enjoy an easy ride. The designers included the Infinity sound system, allowing the riders to be surrounded by what they want to hear. Animal companions can join their humans in a sense of comfort and safety as they cruise to their destination.
As far as ability to handle city and highway driving, in 2012 the new Kia Sol will have upgraded its powertrain. The powertrain are the parts of the car that creates the power and transfers it to the wheels. The engine has seen at least a ten percent increase in its ability to generate horse power, 135 to be exact. This means quicker pick up after the car has been stopped. They use a direct injection gasoline system, helping to increase fuel efficiency by ten percent. The car has a minimum gas mileage of 28 miles per gallon and that is just in the city.
The car is considered to be in the top ten compacts because of its features and also because of its affordability. Most people cannot afford expensive new cars. Kia has made it possible by keeping costs low. The car is mostly assembled in the United States and some designs made by people in California. They are constantly looking for ways to improve while cutting the actual cost to the consumer. The Kia dealerships have seen a major increase in sales, especially in the Kia Sol. Drive this car to save money but also enjoy a unique and enjoyable driving experience.
