I bought my 2010 Soul right off the line and have loved

I bought my 2010 Soul right off the line and have loved her since. She's a red shortage with the flashing speakers and red/black interior. It's easy and fun to drive, can park it anywhere, good on gas and tags cheaper than an SUV. I can pack a ton of stuff in her when I flip the seats down. I feel safe in her because she's well balanced and has multiple airbags. I now have 159,000 miles on her and looking forward to the next. It's a good car that is cheaper to buy than others. I drove 102 miles to work everyday. She handled the ice and snow great (I also kept good tires on her). Recommended my youngest daughter get one. She did and loves herself too.

Maybe i wasn’t lucky but I had a kia soul 4u burner

Maybe i wasn’t lucky but I had a kia soul 4u burner edition 2010 wich I bought at around 120k miles, it didn’t even last for a year and the motor blew up and I did a LOT of repairs on it during this time. So I would say that the reliability of this car isn’t good but it’s probably one of the only bad things about this car because the ride and everything else is pretty good.

A VERY satisfied customer!

I have had my 2010 Kia Soul+ since 2012 when a driver pulled out in front of me in 2010 and totaled my Explorer and her Lexus. I have only approx 114,000 miles on it and have only had to replace 3 belts on it, nothing engine or major mechanically. Runs awesome and I still get between 28-30 mpg!!! Everyone that has ever ridden with me has remarked how quick it is taking off and it's difficult keeping it under 80mph!! I love it still today and God forbid I'm ever in another accident I would LOVE to have another one like the new ones out now. My son-in-law drives the 2015 Optima 68 miles each way to work everyday and enjoys the comfortable ride and the gas mileage. Thank you very much Kia.

Talk about trash on wheels

This car is trash. Bought as a beater and ended up literally beating it with my bare hands. Please do me a favor and don't buy. I've spent more money on tie rods and head gaskets in the past year than I have food.

excellent car - no issues

This car has been very reliable, fun to drive and it has been well maintained. It is clean with no rust. I am only selling it for I purchased a sports car and no longer have a need for this Soul.

This car NEVER let my family down

Sport handling, plentiful torque, economic gas saving, commuter-friendly hatchback SUV. Feels light on its feet, exceptionally well-planted in high-speed turns with decent driver feedback, & surprisingly cavernous cargo capacity. Noisy wind past 65mpg.

Just bought it used but did my research

It's a peppy little buckboard and it sips the gas slowly. For a 10 year old vehicle in New England, it's in awesome shape with only minimal surface rust on the frame and nary a spot on the body. It was a smooth and fairly quiet ride on the highway, in the city and on the back roads. You do feel the bumps - the suspension is pretty stiff. That's the price you pay for excellent handling in the corners. The baseline model, while not fancy, has more bells and whistles than you'd expect. I'm 5'11'' with long legs and the leg room is adequate. It's four passenger but I'd suggest that two of them be fairly small or someone's going to have knees holding their chin up. Cargo space is generous and visibility is much better than most small cars.

Sporty,Fun,great sound system w/ light up speakers

Two tone interior is super cool. Light up speakers make the car fun! Drives great, gets up to speed easily and plenty of room! Worth every penny.

Great used car

This car met all of my needs. I love the look of it and I really like all the storage, especially in the back. There is a little covered storage area and a spare tire! Loving driving this car and hope to keep it for a long time!
