I bought a used car 10/24/2019, a 2016 Kia Soul.

The 2016 Kia Soul that I bought on 10/24/2019, from Midwest Kia in Wichita KS, was a single owner car with 35,743 miles on it. It was well taken care of. To this day, it drives very well, very dependable. I am very keen on making sure that all oil changes and needed maintenance are done when needed. I hope to keep this car for many more years. By the GRACE OF GOD, the car is fully paid for, which makes it even better. I also make sure that all taxes, registration fees, and insurance premiums are paid and fully up to date.

Nice so far

My first car, very nice so far. My mom had one as well and recommended it to me. It's a little funny looking but I like it.

Great first car

It is a great first car for our teenage daughter. It has great visibility, safety, and handling for a new driver, and is very comfortable to ride in.

Failure after warranty and 100,000 miles

The car was OK but the 2 Recalls definitely failed in this car and entire exhaust had to be replaced. Now that it is out of Warranty the Vehicle is starting to fail with multiple problems!!! Air bag system idiot light,AC compressor failed at 113,000 miles and I believe this is just the beginning of many problems this car will have.
