Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Soul than the MINI SE Hardtop.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the MINI SE Hardtop, the Kia Soul may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Kia Soul is clearly a better financial choice over the MINI SE Hardtop.
Dimensions
Since the Kia Soul is much wider than the MINI SE Hardtop, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Kia Soul, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the MINI SE Hardtop.
Handling
The Kia Soul has about the same turning radius as the MINI SE Hardtop, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Kia Soul has less horsepower than the MINI SE Hardtop, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Kia Soul does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the MINI SE Hardtop.
Utility
The Kia Soul offers greater seating capacity than the MINI SE Hardtop, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
