I love my new Kia Soul!

This car is the one I've been looking at and thinking about for over a year. I'm so happy with it - it drives like a dream and is so much fun to own! I called my daughter and told her about it; she went out and traded in HER five-year old Kia and bought a Kia Soul. She, too, loves her new car. I haven't had a new car in 15 years, so I am extremely satisfied with the Kia Soul I just bought and my purchasing experience.

Great Car for the money

The car is roomy and very easy handling, need the cruise control to keep within the speed limit. My husband and I try to get to the car first so we can drive "this time" I love the trunk area and the ease of the seats being folded to give extra room.

jump on the Soul train

I'm so so happy with this car. There is plenty of room for a tall person to drive or ride in and be comfortable. The Soul has pep, I don't feel afraid jumping on the highway. The gas mileage is excellant. My favorite feature are the seats, they wrap right around you. Everyone should own one!!

SOULmate

I wanted to downsize from my truck and found my perfect vehicle. As a big and tall guy, fitting in the average car isn't the easiest, but the Soul was perfect. I even have headroom! I didn't go all out on the turbo version and didn't ask for all the bells and whistles -- still, I was more than happy with what I got. A bone-chilling AC (beats the Georgia summer heat), a solid sound system (I mainly listen to my phone's music), and enough ports to connect/charge more devices than i want to carry at one time. The price was great, too. It's fun to drive, is sturdy for the size, and is really quiet. The gas mileage is great, too! I don't make many big purchases, but this one was one of my best to date... and I'd do it again!

Love my soul

Its roomy but still a small car, great fuel mileage, love the alien two color. Handles great on main roads and little side roads. Trunk space is more then I thought seeing it from the outside. Rides smooth and looks nice.

kia soul

My husband and I bought our new Kia soul at Destination Kia and then moved to Tn. We drove the car down after having bought it a a few days before we left. The car felt like I had driven it for years, it was very comfortable and so easy to get use to. We drove from Albany to Loudon, Tn in l7 hours.. the car just flew and we were so comfortable in it. Love everything about the car and could not believe how many Kia Souls there are down here.. Everywhere I go they are in the parking lot, on the road, etc. They are very popular here. The treatment we received at Destination Kia was icing on the cake ... I am sorry I waited so long before buying my Kia.. I love the looks of it. how it drives and everything else about it. I told all my friends in Amsterdam I love the Kia and told them to only go to Destination Kia to buy theirs,, they will not be sorry.Plus I love how everything fits into the car.. we just bought a new house so we are buying furniture, rugs etc. and everything fits on the rack or in the car..like I said, I am sorry I waited too long to buy my KIa.

Perfect Car

Just purchased my Kia Soul after traveling to Arizona in my daughters Kia Soul. The car was comfortable enough for four adults and room for luggage. Love the look and design of the Soul and the gas mileage is terrific!
