Certified Pre-owned 2016 Kia Soul

Bought as a Certified Pre-owned car on 2/2/19. I've been a full size GM truck driver since 1994, mostly because I am 6'5". The Kia Soul is a small car, but it is amazingly comfortable, even for a man my size, and it is a blast to drive!

Most unreliable car I've ever owned

This car is carbage! It's not good on gas. The starter went out & it's only 3 years old. I have a '99 Nissan Sentra that is still running off the original manufacturer parts. Never had an issue with engine related parts.

Good Value for the Money

Equipped well for the price. Wish the cargo area was about 2 inches longer. There's less room for storage there than I had in my Honda Accord. Absolutely hate the key FOB. The panic button has caused me to panic on numerous occasions, because it is so poorly placed that it takes nothing to press it. Also wish the Soul came with heated mirrors.

To much noise

A few blindspots I had to get used to. You can here lots of noise inside, like engine and tires on the road. Sits very low. Good on gas and is very roomy inside.
