Leather (or fake leather) is the most overrated material in history. I'm completely with you on the steering wheel opinion.

Vindication!

Great review and comparison, one of the best I've seen on the Kia Soul EV. 👍🏼

[@BuckleUpShow]

Thanks so much! We tend to ramble on a bit 😅

I've had one for about 4 years. The should have "facelifted" the battery capacity and charging speed too :)

[@BuckleUpShow]

Well they did facelift the battery, just to a smaller size. Not sure a bigger heavier battery would be good for this car. Faster charging would definitely be nice though.
