✅ Dependability: Always starts, season or not.
✅ Dependability: Always starts, season or not. ✅ Fuel Efficiency: Far better mileage than my Cadillac. ✅ Spacious Interior: Plenty of room and power for a four-cylinder hatchback. ✅ Good Performance: Surprisingly peppy for its class. ✅ Sound System: Delivers quality audio, enhancing the driving experience. ✅ Ease of Driving: Smooth handling and user-friendly controls. Cons (Potentially): ❌ Theft Risk: Unfortunately, Kia and Hyundai models are frequently targeted. ❌ Lack of Luxury Features: Compared to Cadillac, the Soul may lack premium interior touches. Overall Verdict: The Kia Soul Plus is a fantastic, practical, and budget-friendly car that excels in reliability and efficiency. While it might not match the luxury of your Cadillac ATS, it’s clear that the Soul’s dependability, fuel economy, and practicality make it your go-to vehicle.

Sold my Soul(2011) for Loser (2024)
My 2011 Kia Soul was perfect from first day - great gas mileage, strong A/C, comfortable ride. I was scared about the fuse recall and sadly traded it. My 2024 is over stuffed garbage by comparison - deeply regret selling 2011 Kia Soul. Looking to buy another 2011 or anything before bloated electronics in new car.

Most reliable car I ever had.
No it's not a Lamborghini! But you can count on it! Nothing went wrong for 45,000 miles. After that, only an engine light and the rear wiper only goes 3/4 of the way. I've never had a car so easy to take care of.

Practical Reliable Fun | Great Family/Work Car
Reviews were so helpful for me back in Sep '19 when making my purchase for a car that could fit my family of 3 (soon to be 4) and be a good commuter vehicle for my job. I want to repay the favor after almost half a year of owning my '11 Kia Soul Plus. I've owned Saab's, Mazda's, Saturn's and Toyota's in my 13 years of driving. The feeling of reliability/durability I get driving this thing is on par with my wife's Camry. your gut just tells you it's going to run forever. I should add I purchased mine with 90k and am not at 100k yet. Thus, I am not sure of the longevity of these vehicles but it's a solid start so far. Though on the outside it looks relatively small, you don't feel like you're in a passenger car the moment you step in (probably because of high ceiling). If you need a car for projects and transporting items (washer/dryer, treadmill, etc) don't count this car out. With the ability to put down the rear seats it can fit quite a bit. A huge highlight of the Soul is it's MPG. I drive 60% city 40% highway. The car always reads that I'm about 30mpg in total. You just can't beat that. I drive a 5-speed btw. The + edition is approx 140 HP but nonetheless it's fun even if it isn't full of pep. The only con I can spot in the 6 months I've had it is the highway noise. It's not deafening and with music on you won't notice. However, with no music you'll defi hear a hum (but that's really not a break it deal issue for me). I wouldn't say the stock stereo is as good as the hype but I've put in a custom 8" woofer and plan to switch out the speakers soon as well. Lastly, these things are affordable man. I got a steal of a deal and paid around $3,800 I think. Look hard enough and you'll find a good deal :) If we ever have 3 kids, sure, we'll probably need to upgrade size wise but with a family of 4 this car is perfect size. Hope this helps!

Most reliable car I've ever owned
Drove it 5.5 years and never had one minutes trouble with it. I had to put tires on it and bought a battery at year five but you'll have that with ANY vehicle. Love the Kia souls!! Highly recommended
