2010 Kia Soul consumer reviews

My 2010 Kia SOUL has been a great car for living in the city. It's large enough to fit anything from camping gear to groceries but small enough to fit into small parking spaces or packed garages. I would highly recommend this car to someone looking for a smaller SUV-like vehicle.

GREAT LITTLE BOXY CAR. I'VE HAD MY 10 FOR OVER 2 YEARS. TOOK A 1200 MILE TRIP AND IT DID GREAT, WISH THE SEATS WERE A LITTLE MORE COMFY. GREAT LITTLE HIDDEN FEATURES THIS GEM HAS. PLENTY OF CARGO ROOM AND HIDDEN COMPARTMENT UNDER THE MAT. AWESOME GAS SAVER!

I loved this car! I only got rid of it because I needed something with 4wd. If they would make a 4wd one I would be out to get one the second they came out!

This is my second soul and will buy another one when I am able too.. so roomy and easy to get out of!

I have so much fun driving this car. I love it. The car is manual, but it is the easiest manual car I have ever driven. I love the size. While it is a small car, the interior feels huge. There is plenty of cargo space. I downsized for a large SUV, and I am loving every minute of it.

I know this is not your usual review but hopefully someone will read it and buy this car for its survivability. I may have been one of the first to buy this car because Geico did not even know it existed. I am a big man 6'3 and about 350 but I fit easily into the drivers seat and was able to get out of the car as easily as getting out of my Van. The only complaint I had about the car was the bluetooth phone buttons on the wheel were somehow programed in French and nobody was able to reset them...ever. (That and the car is what it is...a small little car that will make you wish for that one extra gear on the highway which would have made long trips MUCH more enjoyable) The point of all this is that by Thanksgiving of 2015 I had 78,000 miles on it and had driven it from Washington DC to Orlando several times...the last to let my youngest son borrow it while his truck was getting fixed. My son took it to visit his brother for Thanksgiving and in the last intersection before he got there this lady decided that it was ok for her to turn left and essentially T-boned him right in the drivers door and back seat door.....hit him so hard he spun like a top and hit one of those big boxes that controls the lights....the drivers side looks like it got hit by a wrecking ball...the rest of the car looks pristine. My son walked from the accident from bruises caused by the seat belts and not another scratch. So....when the dust settled you can bet that I am going to use the insurance money that I get to buy another Kia Soul....and if you value safety in a car that looks awesome and runs circles around the Box Car then this is for you. If you want pictures I would be happy to post them

Our second car was on it last leg and so we went "looking to see what we could find and maybe afford" in March 2015. We came across a Kia Soul. So we decided to test drive and the price was right and so we were in love with the Soul. It drove nice and frankly was perfect for our family. Well the next day we got our Kia Soul and we have been so happy with it. I love that it has Bluetooth, CD, SAT radio and it is a different color Alien Green. My other vehicles have been silver. My 4 yr old loves the Kia Soul and every time he sees the car on TV, he tells us that is our car.

As the proud owner of a 2010 Kia Soul Exclaim edition (!) with 5-speed manual transmission, I have been very impressed with my Soul thus far. The car is peppy, though not overly powerful, and sips fuel. Gas mileage shows its teeth here too, as I tend to average about 32 mpg in mostly highway driving. The exterior is definitely quirky looking, but in a clean-cut sort of way, and I am often stopped and asked about it. The interior has way more space than it might appear, and I love the storage options under the floorboards in the trunk The car easily fits 5 adults and all their stuff, and feels slick driving around town.

For the last 17 years I've driven midsized pickup trucks so buying a smaller vehicle seems like a 2010 Kia Soul seemed like a strange choice to my friends and family. High gas prices were beginning to become an issue for my weekly budget though and I knew I had some large repair bills coming up on the truck. So I started looking around for something new/used the Fall of 2014. I found a 2010 Soul with over 98,000 miles (Yikes!) on it but the price was very low and the car itself looked showroom new. I had the timing belt replaced right away and have had nothing but positive experiences over the last four months. The ignition orange color combined with a racing stripe down the hood is an eye catcher and I've had LOTS of people give me the thumbs up as I tool around town. On numerous occasions I've come out of a store and found people in parking lots looking at the vehicle. It's that eye catching! The ride is bit stiff and the standard transmission is no fun in bumper to bumper traffic. Yet it's comfortable on the highway and fun to drive on back roads. I'm happy to say I'll probably be a Kia driver for years to come based on my experience to date.

I love my Kia, Soul 2U (Peer into my Soul!!). It's a sharp, eye-catching colour (Green Tea). When I decided to look at Kia I had several types of cars I wanted to compare it with. One test-drive and walked off lot with it. I loved it this much right off the bat! I'm a Professional Operator and wanted something cheap but snazzy to commute to work. I needed it to be fuel efficient so I made sure I purchased the lightest weight (on door jam). It ended up being the best. As a + I could pump up my seat to sit high, that's what sold me, I hate sitting on the floor. Filled up on paydays (bi-wkly) and depending on $ of gas could vary between $40-60 Cdn. Through my word-of-mouth (and many people asked me about my car: at lights, in rest areas, etc.) 3 were sold in my park alone, not counting the ones at work!!! One word: fantastic
