Ok Car.

Not a sports car or anything fancy however its deemed very safe and reliable especially for first time car buyers or teenagers on the road. It is the number one pick by firefighters and police offers for their kids because the damage during car accidents is minimal and it is deemed very safe.

Very reliable and easy to drive.

It has met our needs as we live in Texas and we drive to and from Utah a few times a year. My husband is 100% disabled and he has a very hard time getting into cars, but this one is farely easy for him.

Very dependable car

This car surprisingly very roomy and comfortable, with good gas mileage, was disappointed it has no spare tire, rode very smooth, and easy to maneuver,

Kia Soul

Love the Kia Soul. It has lots of leg room for the kids and a spacious back hatch. Great for short road trips as well.

The most options for the least price

While Florida is hot, I use my heated seats for my sore back. I use the heated steering wheel for my achy hands after work. The full length sunroof is AMAZING. Going to be hard to top this with any other vehicle.

That's when I first fell in love with a KIA.

I was so impressed with the feel and how comfortable it made me feel. Just being behind the wheel I never forgot how smooth it was. That is why later I purchased a new KIA.

Very comfortable little car

At the time, my wife was a traveling hospice nurse. we needed something that was inexpensive, got fairly decent fuel economy and was easy to get in and out. After looking at used Toyota Matrix, Corolla iM, Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, and "captive import domestics" that couldn't compete, we decided on the Kia Soul. After over 2 years of ownership, and 25,000 miles...this car really is difficult to beat. Plenty of space, nice sound system, and quite comfortable, and easy to find a comfy driving position for short and long trips, the Kia Hamsters are correct.
