The 2019 Honda HR-V offers all-wheel drive and a similarly versatile interior to the Soul.
It should be on any shoppers short list for small hatchbacks.
The Jeep Renegade has off-road chops and a new engine this year, but its price easily outruns the Soul.
Same goes for the Mini Countryman, which has an expressive style but a rich bottom line.
We like the new Veloster, and its sporty in some forms, it’s worth driving.
The Fiat 500L is on its way out and discounts should be very steep.
It’s not good, but it’ll get the job done.
