Best car value on the market!!!!

This is my 2nd Kia Soul. My first Kia product was also a 2013 Soul. This vehicle is very well priced with many of the features one would find in other model cars at a much higher price. The gas mileage, both in town and highway, is fantastic!!!! The 2017 model is classy, rides comfortably, drives like a dream and meets all of needs.

Third purchase of this car!

This is a great car for my needs. I am very comfortable driving on the interstate to work and back each day. I love the safety features as well. This is my third Soul+, the first one purchased in 2010. They have evolved into a beautiful design for a very good price. The interior is very comfortable.

Cute and Dependable Car

My 2017 Soul is absolutely amazing! My last car was a 2011 soul and I loved it also but traded it for the great amenities that the 2017 has like heated seats and steering wheel, a more advanced radio system and automatic seats and of course the speakers that light up! I don't have any complaints about it, it's roomier and a smoother more quiet ride than the 2011.

I love this car!

The Soul is very well designed and has features that are usually found on more expensive vehicles. The car handles well. The seats are comfortable. The car is easy to get into and out of. The air conditioner is very efficient. This car gets better than the advertised gas mileage. I like being able to unlock the gas door from the inside. I love the Alien green color! I could go on and on, but you get the point. This is a great car!

The car has amazing leg room. Very comfortable

The Soul seats four easily. Handles like a larger car. Quiet on the road. The salesman was easy to talk with and helpful to us in determining the amenities we wanted.

Awesome! But just a few dollars too much

I bought a Kia Soul Exclaim. I wanted the Turbo engine, the premium sound, and the blind spot detection. All work great. The sound system is pretty good (although, I still think there's better out there). The comfort is fantastic. The drive is great. I like sitting up and being quick. The car is lovely. The gas mileage, however, has not met the sticker values yet and I do 80% high way driving. So that's a bit of a concern. Tis why I feel like the car is just a little over priced. Knock $1k off it and it's perfect.
