2012 Kia Soul consumer reviews

I am 61 yrs young. Although this is not the most attractive vehicle I?ve ever had, it?s by far the most comfortable to get in/ out of. Exactly the right height to just slide into the drivers seat. Loved it but alas, the grandkids grew and we no longer fit. I bought a Sedona now but it?s a little higher and not as easy to slide into. My brother wound up also buying a Soul. We both loved it. I have recommended this car to a friend and they purchased one as well

This car is a good ride, very reliable and good on gas. I love this car. I've had for a while and did not have any issues.

GREAT RIDE, GOOD GAS MILEAGE, PLENTY OF ROOM, COMFORTABLE...test drove over 15 vehicles, did a lot of research, chose the kia soul, like the style, ride and price

The 2018 Kia Soul is a stylish compact hatchback with a lot of quality for the price. The warranty is unbeatable, and the interior space is ample. I opted for the + (Plus) trim, as I wanted the larger 2.0L engine, but did not want the turbo associated with the ! (Exclaim) trim. A couple set backs were that the car doesn't offer a CD player, and heated seats only come on the Exclaim with the leather package. The audio package by Harmon Kardon is quite good, and the smart key is handy. Overall this is a funky little car that is a blast to drive, fits in tight spaces, and also fit into my budget.

Super comfortable even given that I?m an excessively large man and it?s not a very large car. But I found it comfortable and the handling is a beauty. Only downside is that the car is very tinnie and dentable. The interior is comfy and very sleek. It?s a ?sexy? car.

Was a nice car. Just my size. I could have picked different color. Nice ride. No problems with car. Good space in truck. Good price.

This car is fun to drive, easy on gas and very comfortable. I love the styling and the Soul profile. There isn't anything else like it.

Great car. Need better gas mileage. I have the soul +. I only get 18 to 19 mpg city or highway. It should be better than that seeing that it's just a four cylinder car.

Good running car. Lots of fun to drive. The thing I don't like, I only get about 18 to 19 mpg . I have a 2012 soul +

I HAD a 2008 Honda Civic which served me well enough until it was wrecked and not fixed properly. Searched for a new car and decided that the Kia Soul had what I wanted: low price (Base model), good fuel economy (and an annual rebate) and it came with a manual transmission. Aside from periodic brake issues and not liking when the fuel formula changes from winter to summer (RIGHT when it's due for inspection), in 140,000 miles it's been a GREAT car! OK, so it broke down ONCE around 135,000 due to water pump failure. It is a nice height (for someone getting older and recovering from being hit by a car) and I find it very roomy for carrying what I need to (even lumber up to 8' long and lots of dogs I've helped to transport!) The 2016 Hyundai Accent is too low (and has other issues) and I am seriously thinking about trading the Accent (automatic transmission) in on a NEW Kia Soul (probably a manual transmission too)!
