Just took it home, but looking forward to it.

I like the car, but it's not my dream car. It's a great deal and I think it will carry me over and be reliable and carry a lot of stuff until I am able to drive my dream car.

Truly the best vehicle for dollar spent.

Liked it so well we traded for a 2018 Soul. Roomy, great handling, Great Gas Mileage. Lots of features & 100% reliable. Warranty is outstanding even though we never had an issue .

Great car for the price

This car meets all my needs. It seats five people comfortably, has 3 USB ports. Drives great, looks awesome and I've had no problems with it

Good for running around town

Good little economy car but headrests are annoying for a person of normal height. The car i drove had no backup camera and visibility is not good because of the tiny window in the rear of the car.

Really love this car

I've had this car for the past two years and everyone who gets in can't believe the amount of technology and features that are packed into this car. Great value for the money!

Exterior paint cheap. Paint chips easily. No spare

Don't buy this car. Engine needed to be changed at 40000 miles. Car does not come with spare tire. Door lock sticks at times. Exterior paint chips easily. Warranty beware...warranty only applies when you service (oil change, etc) at Kia dealership. Schedule service at least 1 month in advance. Service technicians have bare minimum k ml knowledge of cars.

Lots of Car for the money & Very Reliable !

Fun to Drive, Lot's of Head Room and very easy entry. My wife was slightly handicapped and the Soul was the one of the few vehicles that she could enter with no problem. We have made two round trips from Nevada to New Jersey. It proved to be an excellent car for cross country driving. It now has about 40,000 miles on it and has been 100% trouble free. I can understand why KIA can give a 100.000 mile warranty. This my third KIA and by far the best

Most affordable, reliable & roomy, yes roomy car o

Turned in a top of the line Equinox for this car. The Equionx didn't drive as smooth or quietly as this car. The Soul looks tiny but the designers used every inch inside wisely. It's modes of "sport", "normal" and "comfort" are amazing and when it's I'm comfort, it drives like a Caddy. *Tons* of leg room, even for my 6'4" husband. He could barely fit the Equinox. The stereo system is awesome and I feel safe in this care with the way it is designed. The Hubs likes it so much, his next car will be the new blue Soul. I encourage you to Google Kia Soul awards iver the last 4-5 years and you will be surprised. A great car for an affordable price. I went to take it in 3 days ago before a long road trip to have it tuned up and it has 74,000 miles on it. They scoffed at me and said that they don't even recommend tune-up til 105,000 milea or 84months of ownership! I was floored. And it came thru a 300+ point inspection clean! I just love this little but not so little car!
