Manual Trans

[bigkat91]

New member here.. I was searching for a car for college and came across the kia soul. I was wondering what the 5spd manual transmission with the 2.0l is like. I plan on looking at one tomarrow evening or this coming sturday. How fast is the engine reving at 70mph with the manual trans?

got mine a couple of weeks ago...stays at 3.5-4 rpms at 70

4k sounds a bit rowdy for 70mph. My Molten Sport (Automatic) is at around 3k at 70mph. 4k at 70 would have me trying to find sixth. Maybe the automatic is benefitting alot more than I thought from the overdrive. 70mph and 3500 rpm sounds about inline with my overdive switched off.
