A guy i carpool with has one of them Kia hamster-wagons, the Kia soul.

I was totally surprised how much room there is in that thing and how comfortable it is. The ride is pretty good for a small car and it doesn't rattle or buzz. Much.
I'm not considering buying a kia soul but don't mind riding in one, especially if someone else is paying for the gas.
I like it a hundred times more than the POS nissan sentra my wife bought for our daughter, who gave it to my son when my wife gave her a murano, which she traded in on a lexus.
