Love my Soul

This car is fun to drive, looks good, rides great, and it gets good gas mileage. The Soul car is my soul. If I ever would trade in I would get another Soul.

Have owned it for 6 years and no problems yet

I like my little Soul, it's comfortable, reliable, actually very roomy, good gas mileage. Only thing I don't like is there are blind spots in the rear so would prefer the back windows to be wide open view .

Very reliable car.

I bought this car new and haven't had any problems with it. It drives great, gets pretty good gas mileage, has 3 usb ports, it's equipped with Sirius, I really can't complain about anything.

Love my Kia Soul

Kia Soul is a great car. Very nice appearance and great interior. I have owned my Soul since 2012 and I absolutely love it. Wish gas mileage was a little better, but overall great car for the money.

Very Good Starter car. Great performance!

I think this vehicle is very safe and reliable. It does not break down at all as long as you maintain it. The performance is very good. All major components work really well. Its just a very reliable safe and all around good starter car or good for experienced drivers also.

One of my favorite cars ever!

4 stars for comfort because I love the spacious driver area compared to other cars but the ride isn't so smooth for the backseat passengers. 4 stars for performance because it is peppy and fun to drive. I have owned the soul since 2014 and it has been reliable the whole time. I've never needed more than a battery or tire replacement which has nothing to do with the cars reliability. It would be nice if it had higher safety ratings.

A cute, reliable commuter vehicle

I will admit, this car is interestingly shaped...but it grows on you! It's comfortable to drive even for long periods, has plenty of space for passengers or other things, but is still compact enough to be a city vehicle. The only thing I can say I really dislike about it is that it can get blown around a bit more than a sedan in high winds.

Great car for young to old!

A car with a different look. Not like all the cookie cutter cars out there! Nice car for getting in and out of, as it is up higher. Drives good with enough get up and go. Good in snow with enough traction to get up hills that aren't plowed yet. The phone on steering wheel is great! Only thing is it's a bit rough (bumpey) on roads that have bumps. Heard the newer souls are alot better on that.
