This car is surprisingly roomy and comfortable.

The Soul will shock you. It has a ton of space. It also does well on gas. If you drive well enough you can get close to 27 mpg.

I love my soul!

This car is awesome! Even though it looks tiny on the outside, it?s very spacious inside! It?s eco friendly with great gas mileage. It?s actually fun to drive! Love my Kia Soul!

I love my Soul!

This is a fantastic vehicle. You get a lot for the price and it is just cute as heck! My only complaint would be that it gets terrible gas mileage in the city and sometimes has difficulty going from nearly stopped to highway speeds quickly (when you need to merge into traffic). But I just truly love this car!

Love My Soul

Shopping for a car is a big decision, I test drove at least 6 cars before making a choice. But ultimately, I went with a 2017 Kia Soul and I love it! It's so spacious for a car that looks so small, and its got tons of bells and whistles (such as back up camera, touch screen stereo, touch dialing for easy access of phone calls, and 3 different driving modes.)

Comfortable, fuel efficient, and practical

It?s not a sedan but it has sedan like ride, it?s not a SUV but has SUV like practicality. Seats are super comfortable, the ride is comfortable, and no one can mistake this vehicle as another blandly styled automobile. I really like this vehicle

This is my favorite car!

This car is great to drive. The only problem is blind spots when I look to change lanes. So, I use my mirrors a lot more. It's roomy, comfortable and fun to drive. I love having blue tooth and the different drive modes. I drive with the eco.

Great Style & Great Engineering

This is my second KIA Soul. I probably will stay with this Brand in future. It is very easy to get in & out of, something very important for a 71 yr. old. With the 2.0 L engine, it can stay out of the pack easily. I do enjoy the looks with the two tone color scheme. A Russel-Brown body w/white top and spoiler, makes for a very fashionable look. imho.
