The New Kia Soul
icon1 Zac | icon2 Uncategorized | icon4 06 14th, 2009| icon3No Comments »

The first thing that strikes you about the Kia Soul is the way it looks like a child’s toy that has been designed by a hyperactive, caffeine-addicted, Attention Deficit Disorder sufferer. The thinking behind the aesthetic design is obviously Kia’s attempt to shake of the drab and cheap impression that many people have of the brand. The boxy body, with odd curves, tall roofline and high ground clearance does look a lot more striking than anything else that has rolled out of Kia’s Korean production line, but is it all a bit too much for the classically reserved British palette?

Early indications suggest that the Kia Soul will most probably fit very nicely into the market; unavoidable really considering it is trying extremely hard to impress every all types of car buyer. The sporty looks will attract the youngsters, the ecologically-sound engine will impress the ‘Green’-set, the roomy interior will persuade those of us with families and the price-tag will convince those who have recently been credit crunched. For one car to attempt to corner four opposing markets is a very brave but potentially foolish move.

The Soul is available with 1.6 Litre Petrol or Diesel option, both providing an impressive 124bhp and producing 55.4 mpg, so it is seemingly powerful for its class and isn’t a gas-guzzler either. Its notable 137 g/km Co2 emissions are also impressive in this increasingly environmentally aware society. All in all everything under the bonnet performs above expectation, which is a rare boon for Kia, who seem to stick rigidly to the engineering principle of ‘never surprise or overwhelm’. That is until the Soul made a rather bold and brave appearance.

Inside the Kia Soul is a relatively comfortable and pleasant place to be sat. The interior has obviously been as well considered as the exterior. Clearly laid-out controls, good driving position and firm but comfy seats show that Kia have the driver’s pleasure at the forefront of their designing minds. The Kia also comes with air-con as standard to keep you feeling cool, whilst the Soul continues looking cool.

The handling is light, progressive and responsive, which is everything the prospective supermini owner is looking for in a car. The 16inch basic wheel option is also oddly superior to the 18-inch option, which somehow manages to multiply the feedback of every tiny bump into what feels like grand chasms. Other than that, the Kia Soul provides a generally smooth and enjoyable ride.

The Kia Soul will be available for around £12,000, which firmly puts it in at the lower end of family-sized hatchbacks. Its nearest competition is likely to be the new Fiesta, which we already know will trounce the Kia Soul in every conceivable way. What Kia will be crossing their fingers for is to make a bit of a buzz in the market and convince a few ignorant cynics that Kia can manufacture cars with character and good performance.

You know by now that gas scooters get terrific mileage and now you'd like to improve on that? Well read on for some great ideas for improving your scooter's gas mileage. No more bleeding money at the pump!

1) Watch your acceleration, Earnhardt!

Just like a car, how you ride your scooter will have a major impact on how many kilometers you are able to obtain from your scooter per litre. Out of all of the petrol-saving ideas, the use of your throttle has the greatest effect on your overall fuel consumption. The key is to increase your speed slowly, instead of trying to chirp the tires from a dead stop.

2) Make sure your tires are properly inflated

Not only is riding on improperly inflated tires unsafe, it is bad on mileage. Check your tires' PSI (pounds per square inch), and inflate or deflate them accordingly. Remember that your tire pressure will climb in the hotter months and decline in cooler months.

3) Keep your scooter tuned up

Quite a few people think of a motors scooter as a set it and forget it thing. They buy it, ride it, and rarely think of maintaining it. But just like a car, your scooter needs some TLC to run properly and continue getting high mileage. Keep your scooter in good operating condition, and you'll be rewarded with a long scooter life and exceptional gas mileage.

4) Change your oil more often than you think you should

You change your oil in your car every 3,000 to 6,000 miles, I'd bet. But it can take some serious riding for your scooter to see that kind of use, especially if you use yours primarily for neighborhood riding. Regardless of mileage, you should try to change your oil before every riding season.

For example, if your riding season is in the summer months, from May through September, but you usually only put 400 miles on your motors scooter over those months, you should still change your oil every May.

So how many miles per gallon can you expect to get out of your scooter with these tips? The answer varies dramatically depending on the type and size of your motors scooter, but you are looking at significant savings.

Remember that some smaller scooters only have a useful life of 25,000 or so miles, and these ideas will also make a difference in the lifespan of your scooter.

What are the interior (metric) dimensions (height x width x length) of the under seat storage area/boot in the Peugeot Satelis 125 scooter?

My local scooter dealer does not have the Satelis in stock, but can order one for me. He does not know the dimensions, so I'm turning to you for the answer.

Thanks for your assistance.
Just one or two quick additional details. I sent this question to both Peugeot UK and Peugeot Germany before asking here, of course. No response yet. Was hoping for a quicker answer here from someone who actually owns a Satelis 125.

I've also visited the web sites, read the specs, and downloaded the brochures. Still no answer to this specific question.

As for the local dealer, do understand I'm just now in the preliminary stages of shopping for a scooter, trying to narrow down the list of choices through some initial research. It's too early to start driving from dealer to dealer. While the local dealer can order a Peugeot scooter, he does not routinely stock or sell this brand. The nearest Peugeot dealer is some distance away. If this scooter remains a viable option, I'll obviously visit that dealer to gain answers to any remaining questions (including this one if the answer is not forthcoming) prior to actual purchase.

I bet its not big enough to store your spare wheel.
