I love the look

Get the "!" and not the standard or plus. I purchased the plus and then had to go back and buy the "!", and that cost. But it was the only one worth it.

Great work car

I'm a real estate investor and agent so I drive a lot of properties. It gets great mileage and I can put signs in the back. It's roomy inside for carting clients around too and does well in back alleys or dirt roads. Very cool and funky car. I'm happy with it.

I just bought my red 2013 kia soul

I love this car it's really cute. Quiet. And drives really nicely. The thing that I wish it had was the console armrest in the middle front so I could rest my arm while driving but still love t either way. It gets me to work comfortably while being cute at the same time!! I do not regret anything in purchasing it i am still looking to see if I can upgrade the radio anyone know anything about that?

Surpising Love

I bought this car to start with because of the price. I did a lot of research and found it was rated very high. I got the Base model with the 138 h.p. engine which was rated a top ten in 2012. Plenty of pep and better gas mileage than the larger engine. Everything you need comes standard! Love this car for my city driving. I have yet to try it out on a trip, but I'm sure I will love it.

all around fun to drive

i test drove the Kia Soul, and was hooked.my prior vehicle was a Ford F-150 and for the time i had it it was the best vehicle(was showing horses and hauling).when i went looking for a new vehicle,i was no longer showing,so did not need a truck again.The Kia Soul is everything i was looking for,and the whole buying experience was made easier by Southern Kia Greenbriar,and the person who helped me thru it,salesperson Rita Patterson.i love all the safety features,the storage room,Bluetooth,the ease in handling,the style.Thankyou so much

Soul

I just got my Kia soul and I love everything about it especially the warranty that Kia offers. The gas mileage is great and I'm coming from an 09 civic. The exterior is fun and all the features it comes with are amazing :)

I'm sure I will be.

The reliability is because,I had it less than a week and it wouldn't start twice for me.I got a new car and I had to take it back for a new battery.

My first Kia

My family has grown up and it was time to get rid of the traditional family van, the Kia Soul is sporty fun to drive and it is actually quite roomy, it has the 10 yr warranty which is a big plus in my book, I don't know how its going to hold up as time passes but the folks at Kia said thier service dept. will definitely take care of it.

SOLID

Purchased solely for its youthful looks and reliability. 31mpg in town and a solid ride sold me. Great in town, easy to take to the grocery and yet small enouogh to manuver in the parking lot. It holds my golf clubs with ease! Great creature features and now my wife takes it rather than her 2012 Nissan coupe. Price was right, dealer was good in all aspects of the purchase.
