12. Kia Soul

The Kia Soul stands out for its quirky, upright silhouette that’s as distinctive as it is polarizing. But beneath the playful exterior lies a small car with big personality.
Thanks to its spirited engine options and quick, responsive handling, the Soul is genuinely fun to drive both in the city and on the highway.
As Cars.com highlights, its surprisingly roomy and flexible cabin only adds to its everyday appeal.
