2011 Kia Soul consumer reviews

I bought my soul in 2010; it's the soul !. I love the car. The comfort of the vehicle is amazing, the only down fall for me is that the car blows around on the highway really easily, even if there is the slightest bit of wind blowing. Also the car is supposed to be getting around 32 MPG on the highway, the most I have ever got is 26.5; that's with using the cruise... I have to say this is a HUGE disappointment for me; especially since I drive highway 90% of the time. I am disappointed to say that I am looking into buying a Honda since the MPG's are not meeting up to my expectations. Comfort versus MPG's; I have to say I need the better gas mileage because the gas bill is eating me alive!

This Soul is just the right size. Comfortable, handles well, easy to manage. Great mileage and performance. Love the look and style. Receives alot of compliments on look. Will be a great repeat.

Bought the car for a variety of reasons among them seating for 5, decent cargo capacity, good mileage and long warranty. Car is fun to drive and is great for around town - running errands and hauling kids to school, sporting events, etc. Great interior - seats are comfy and all controls are well laid out - sunroof is nice. It's been 5 months since I purchased the vehicle and I have had no problems.

First new car in years. The car is amazing inside. The exterior is unique. Gas mileage is weaker than expected. Only getting 22mpg

+handles well +gas mileage better than stated +very cool styling +excellent value for money +way roomier than you'd expect (kids call it the 'wizard's tent') + a pleasure to drive, comfortable ride in back + features you wouldn't expect in an inexpensive car +excellent safety rating (thankfully I haven't put that to the test)

I love the gas mileage. Has plenty of room on the inside. I purchased the sound package and love it. Only con is some road noise if the road is rough, but i drown it out with music anyway. Overall i love the car.

My husband and made our first "new car" purchase six months ago, the 2011 Kia Soul, and we are so pleased with our decision. We test drove many SUV crossovers, mini-SUVs etc. and not one compared to the Soul. It is so roomy on the inside, with great open windows, but it small on the outside, so it is easy to park. We haven't had a single problem with the engine and when we took it in to get the first service everyone at Kia was really great. We bought the "Alien" (Green) color, which is really great for young people, but the more neutral colors are very popular with the Baby Boomers. The trunk space/fold flat back seats are great, and fit everything we have tried to squeeze in there. I recommend it highly!!!

Alot of room. good for shopping. wife loves to drive ,you can see around really good. My dogs love it too.brakes really good to.loos good going do the road.

I own the Kia Soul "White Tiger" I love this car! People stop me all the time to ask questions about it! Gets good gas mileage, Very Fun to drive, zippy, can turn around on a dime! Thinking of buying another one for my husband!

I was in a wreck a few weeks ago and i had to take my car to get worked on. the rental car they gave me was a kia soul. as soon as i drove it out i knew i had to have one. three days later i returned the car to the rental place and drove to a kia lot and bought one. i have the + model with a five speed. ive only driven suvs and this car might look tiny but im 6'2 and i have plenty of room inside. being a 2L engine i was suprised that i can get it to chirp the tires up to thrid with traction control on. i wasnt in the market for porformance but something that gets better than 10mpg. and this little thing sure does. i used to to do SPL comps and the sound system in this is by far the best stock stereo system ive ever seen. not too loud but amazingly clear. i will be upgrading mine but the average joe wouldnt need to unless you like driving in a mobile metallica concert. the accesories that the car comes with is out of this world. bluetooth sat radio cruise power everything. the one problem ive noticed in the 3 days ive owned mine is the plastic on the doors scuffs just by looking at it too hard and is almost impossible to buff clean. so if you buy one be weary of the plastic parts if u want it to stay clean. the back hatch is super tiny compared to my old suv but with the seats down its not too bad. i doubt you could fit a large tv in there but the average consumer wouldnt have porblems with it.the back seat is giant which is a big plus for me and my friends since we are all around 6 foot tall. love this car and was def the best bang for you buck. if you just need something cheap and gets even better gas than i wouldnt get this. but i needed somehting to get from home to a skate park and that i could blast music out of. this is perfect.
