How much can a Kia Soul tow and is it a good choice of car for towing a trailer?

While Kia rate their Soul small car for towing 550kg of unbraked trailer, or an optimistic 1100kg of trailer equipped with brakes, these are theoretical maximum possible loads. The reality is that you will be pushing the friendship even towing a small box trailer, let alone a boat, with a Kia Soul.

Is the Kia Soul a good and reliable car?

Modern Korean cars have come a long way since they burst onto the Australian market as entry-level runabouts 30 years ago. When properly serviced and taken care of the Kia Soul shouldn't be any less reliable than a comparable Japanese vehicle, though I have heard of some issues in America (in cold states) where cabin vent tubes can become blocked leading to the demisters struggling to clear the windows quickly.

Is the Kia Soul an all wheel drive or does it only come in front wheel drive?

The Kia Soul is a front wheel drive sub-compact car. To date there are no four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive variants.
