Soul Goes to the Heart of It: A Scenic Drive in the Kia Soul

The most surprising entertainment venue was the Harman-Kardon Premium Auto System including Sirius XM Radio which is included in the MSRP.

The recent storms along the Gulf Coast moved into the Texas interior, engulfing Dallas in blustery, stormy weather. Dark clouds released hail stones and gusty winds that placed the city in a motionless crawl. But Soul’s maneuverability allowed indirect routes covering narrow alleys while avoiding flooding streets, causing Soul little pause or delay.

The next afternoon the city and countryside were bathed in calming winds and a refreshing gentle rain. Driving on a lazy country road with over flowing bar ditches and approaching winter fragrances made for an enchanting experience. Even with late afternoon pregnant raindrops falling. The sounds from the heavens were embraced readily by the music of Roy Orbison singing “Oh Pretty Woman.”

Too bad she was “walking down the street,” rather than driving a Kia Soul.
