DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Cool back to college cars for under $15,000While some lucky students may have received new cars as high school graduation gifts, the odds are most will have scrimped and saved from part-time to buy that first set of wheels.Whatever the financial circumstances, young buyers will surely share the desire for a car that is economical to operate.

by Ian Harwood

The 2014 Ford Transit Connect is a multi-purpose cargo van that could be a great addition to any size of business.Looks:

The Transit Connect looks small, but with 3,670 litres of cargo volume and rear doors that open 180 degrees (optional 255 degrees) there is lots of room for people and luggage. The cargo van version is available with no side windows in the sliding

side doors and privacy glass in the rear doors. You can also order it with no side or rear windows.

It also lends itself to be-coming an office on wheels. Ford Work Solutions is a system that runs Windows CE 6.0 designed to access an office workstation com-puter remotely to download customer information or view a work order or delivery invoice. You can send and receive text messages.

The Navigation screen pin-points your delivery locations

and the system allows hands-free calling via the Bluetooth. The in-dash computer tracks your tools through a program called Tool Link, by De-Walt. Using a radio frequency identification tag attached to each tool you can scan them as you load them into the van and know exactly what is on board and what you left behind.In The Cab:

The driver’s seat is manu-ally adjustable (six-way) with built-in armrest while the passenger has a four-way manually adjustable seat. Just like most cargo vans of today, the cab has the features once reserved for cars an AM/FM radio with a

bonus CD player and audio input jack. Available SYNC system to make hands free calls, rear view mirror backup camera, reverse sensing sys-tem, forward sensing system, and a 4.2-inch productiv-ity screen that keeps you informed on fuel economy numbers as well as towing information.

When you open the split rear doors, you get a true sense of this van’s func-tionality. The cargo areas floor to ceiling height is 150 centimeters and the width is 121 cm between the wheel wells. The load length is 184 cm and additional access is offered via the dual sliding doors. The cargo payload is

an incredible 726 kilograms, more than some full-size pickup trucks. Safety first:

Standard front and side air bags will keep you safe in the event of a collision. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure-monitoring system are standard. Power:

This vehicle is powered by a Duratec 2.5 litre four cylinder,

mated to a six speed select shift automatic transmission. It puts out 169 horsepower and 171 lb ft of torque. There is also a 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine available with 178 horsepower and 184 lb ft of torque. Roadworthy:

While driving this Ford Transit Connect you feel like you’re driving a 2WD Ford Ranger. You’re able to ma-

nouevre around vehicles in tight parking lots and park in small parking spots, the only difference is you have a walk in cargo box on the back. This van would be perfect to convert into a special pur-pose van; it would be easy to add a wheel chair ramp or a lift without having to do too much modification. Verdict:

All though this van has been available in the UK for many years, it has only been available in North American since 2011. The popularity of the Transit has increased substantially its introduction thanks to its versatility and size. It is here to stay.

by Zack Spencer

The Kia Soul has been on my recommendation list ever since it came out in 2010.

For those looking for something bigger than a compact car but not as large or expensive as a compact SUV, it works.

The original Soul was one of the first vehicles to receive Kia’s new design architecture. That bold, fun attitude and design has been improved in for 2014, taking the best of the old model and updating it to a whole other level. The 2014 Soul recently won the Red Dot Design Award, kind of like the Academy Awards for car design and it also took home the Best Family Car under $30,000 from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. So, it is already off to a good start in its first year of production and should be considered by anyone looking at a compact car replacement.Looks

What is the Soul and how does it compare to the rest of the market? Well, it falls in size be-tween a compact hatch-back car and a small SUV, a true crossover. The two main rivals for this car are the Nissan Cube and Scion XB, but compared to those cars this is a much more polished effort in design and content. The body has been updated with slightly larger dimensions in width and length but the roof has been dropped by a centimeter. The front air intake is much bigger and the headlights look more aggressive. The back has a large black section around the rear bumper to help lift the eye, where the older car had a long, slightly droopy back end. Prices range from $16,995 all the way to $26,995 for the model scene here. That might sound like a lot but this top SX Luxury trim is packed with goodies that would cost a lot more on a compact SUV. It has polished alloy wheels, HID headlamps and LED tail lamps, a huge panoramic sunroof and automatic folding outside mirrors.Inside

What continues to amaze me is just what is offered in a compact vehicle and Kia, in par-ticular, jams more stuff in than anyone else. This top model has heated and ventilated front

seats, a heated steering

wheel, heated rear seats, leather seats, a big 8-inch navigation screen with backup camera, satel-lite radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, power moon roof and more. Now most buyers will shop in the middle EX trim and it starts at $20,895 also well equipped. One of the main reasons for the popularity of the Soul is the ease of use, meaning older buyers can get into the car thanks to the big doors and slightly higher seats, when compared with a compact car. The back seat is very roomy and has a flat floor for easy access for children. The cargo rear isn’t as big as a compact SUV but for a city runabout it does a great job because there is storage under the floor and the seats fold for more room.Drive

Kia has a two-engine approach to the Soul. The base model gets a 130hp 1.6L 4-cylinder engine and all other trim levels get a larger 2.0L engine with 164hp. The same is true with the transmission; the base has a standard 6-speed manual trans-mission and all others get a 6-speed auto. The larger 2.0L engine was introduced into the last model but now it has the benefit of an updated chassis to get the most out of the Soul in terms of handling. The body has been strengthened and at-tention has been placed on noise and vibration from the engine and suspension. This all comes together to make a great city car that can dash in and out of traffic with ease and lets the passengers relax and enjoy the cars amenities. One of the reasons I think this is an alternative to a small SUV is the high seating position, great outward visibility and

solid fuel economy, using 8.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The Soul would be just fine in the winter if driven sen-sibly and equipped with proper winter tires. Not everyone needs all wheel drive; front wheel drive is just fine. Verdict

The Soul is already an award winner and has a dedicated buyer base. In fact, the Soul also won the 2014 ALG Residual Value Award for the subcompact utility class. This means that, the company, ALG

believes this Soul will hold its value better than the competition. Yes, this class is small but there is com-fort in knowing the Soul isn’t just liked by the initial buyer but by the used car buyer too.

If you are in the market for a compact hatchback or small SUV, do yourself a favour and try the Soul. My fully loaded tester was about the same price as a most base model compact SUVs but this runabout has attitude to spare.

Kia Soul: Liked equally well whether it’s new or almost new

The Kia Soul falls in size between a compact hatchback and a small SUV.
