Inherited it!

I inherited this car 4 years ago and I hate it!!! Plenty of leg room in front 0 in back. Has motor issues. Overheats. Wish I never got it

Continues to Impress

Overall, the Kia Soul is so much more than I thought it could be. It drives smoothly and has a lot of great features for a base model like bluetooth with hands free buttons on the steering wheel, 2 car charger ports, 2 USB ports, and satellite radio (optional subscription). The interior and exterior styling still impress people. It's very unique (designed by a former Audi designer per my sales rep), and people regularly expect my car to be newer than it actually is. I have a 6-speed manual transmission, which helps me work with the relatively small engine (4 cylinder, 1.6L), but there is almost no struggle on city streets. The only notable downsides of such a car is that the back seats are a bit cramped, and the trunk is a bit small. However, there are storage compartments under the trunk cover, and the back seats fold down if you have no passengers. So, this car is great for someone who plans to seat 4 people or fewer (unless everyone in the back seat is small). I'd definitely get this car again!

Great car

It rides so smooth and is very quiet. The A/C works extremely well and everything is easy to set up. It’s the perfect size for me and high off ground so I hopefully won’t get stuck.

Toughest & most reliable car I’ve owned

Totally reliable, tough and great on gas mileage. Really got my money’s worth with this car. I would recommend this make and model to anyone.

Wonderful car

I was looking for a small car with better gas mileage than my 2002 Suburban for commuting to work and school. I loved the look of the Kia Soul from the moment I saw it. The gas mileage is great. It is super comfortable to drive. Overall I am in love with my Kia Soul!

Not A Reliable Car

This vehicle had major problems. It would continue to turn off intermittently. Always needed a jump. Needed a catalytic converter, then cylinder gasket. Its was just trouble at 45,000 miles...I will never buy another Kia ever again.

Very reliable

As a college student and having a full time job, this car gets me to all my destinations with no issues. So far it's been a smooth ride, I don't really use my back up camera, but for those who would like it, it works great. Car might look small on the outside, but fits my 6'3 15 year old nephews with no issue! Lots of room, just wish it were better on gas.
