2014 KIA Soul Engine No Good must be Replaced

I really enjoyed it for a long time. It was fun to drive. Now at 141000 miles I’m finding I need a new engine and that it is no good. All my past cars have almost always gone 200,000 miles or more and now this Soul is a piece of junk. I won’t ever buy a KIA again after this mess with this car. To bad too because it had potential , until th engine became in operable

It's just fun to drive this car!

This car handles very well, quick response and great stereo system. Gas mileage is a dream. The AC is powerful and the cooling seats are just, well, cool!

Just purchased. Too early to determine reliabilit

So far I really like this car. The only problems I have encountered are replacing the serpentine belt and a rear window that is stuck in the up position. Otherwise the car is in great condition.

Great Grad School Car

This is a great little sporty car. Never had any trouble with it in the snow. Has a good kick to it to get onto the freeway.

I absolutely loved my Kia Soul for almost 3 years.

I used my Kia Soul for my cleaning business and it surprisingly had lots of room for supplies. I would definitely get another one. I miss it.

I love my new used car

My car is cute, has lots of leg room, also has blue tooth, cruise control, power windows, luggage rack and plenty of trunk room. My co pilot who is mySchnauzer loves to fly out the back window and lovers her roomy back seat.

Beautiful car

Only true complaint about this car is that it doesn't have a arm rest for the driver. I enjoy driving it and it is styled well.

Worst experience I've had with a vehicle

I've had my car for almost two yrs I have taken it in twice for recalls which wasn't a big deal I'd rather be safe than sorry but yesterday we had a terrible accident and airbags did not deploy at all and had my one year old grandson in the back buckled in his carseat. My daughter hit her head on the dashboard due to no airbags...very upsetting had it fixed from a recall about 3 weeks before I guess it wasn't fixed will not buy another kia ever

Good quality for the money

As a big man I am very comfortable in this vehicle. I am over 6 ft tall and would never be called skinny. Have had no issues with this vehicle, it has been reliable and economical. Very good value for the price.
