The darling of 2010 hasn’t aged a bit in 2011. Its very modern and original shape remains every bit as attractive as last year, which is a testament to the quality of the design. But the Soul is more than a cute little car. On the road, it holds its own with decent performances and predictable handling. Moreover, its suspension is just right. Those looking for a little originality will be happy with the passenger compartment, where the quality of the finish is very good.
