Feel comfortable driving it, but mostly feel SAFE

Im still getting used to it but Ive enjoyed my new ride so far. The bucket seats are raised, easy to enter and exit vehicle.AC great (esp in Arizona) There is a slight delay upon acceleration, and the brakes are extremely sensitive so I have to be gentle. * soul far, soul good..........No regrets! The fabric in the interior is kind of cheap.......just hoping it holds up to the sun!Am happy to be driving this vehicle

LOVE it!!

I've had this new-to-me car for about 5 months now and I'm in love! I never would have pictured myself in the Soul based on its side and brand. I'm so happy that I did! While it's small on the outside once in it, it honestly feels very large. There is plenty of room, both let and head room, storage is awesome. Gas milage is great to! I have a 1.6L engine, which is small and takes a little to get into higher speeds but totally worth it. I can't wait to drive it, so comfortable.

A VERY RELIABLE VEHICLE

I’ve owned my 2016 Soul for 2 years. Aside from regular maintenance, there have been no issues! Very reliable commuting car. Just changed brakes and tires at 70,000 miles.

Great car

Ive had this car a couple month's. Handles fantastic. Avg 37.2 mpg Hwy 27 city. Great maneuverability. Trunk is bigger than it looks. Fits laundry, groceries, kids stuff camping gear. Super happy. Price tag with 16k was $13k. But well worth it.

Very happy I bought the car.

It handles well and has great interior room. I have 38k miles on it and only repair was a tire that blew due to road debris. I would buy again. Sometimes the road noise is loud but that is my only complaint

Reliable, comfortable, convenient.

I’m only selling because I’m moving out of country. Only owner, regular maintenance, commuter use, never smoking in car, clean inside/outside. Very superficial 2 inch scrap on lower passenger door would be easy to buff out.

Great little machine

I love the gas mileage comfort and handling flying down the roads. Been to Texas and back with an average of over 30 mpg. Hope it never wears out!! Thanks Kia for making this wonderful little machine.
