Great Reliable Gas Saver

I thoroughly enjoy this car! Great mileage...runs great, zero problems so far. My only criticism is that I wish I could remove the rear seats rather than just fold them down. Other than that, I am a believer in the Kia brand and when they put out a truck, I'll be in line to buy one!

Great value

For the cost, the soul plus has so many great features and more room in cargo and for passengers than you would think. I?m very happy with my purchase.

my Kia soul

It is cute, it goes but it isn't powerful, at least for my needs. The sound system is good and I find the Kia reliable and a good warranty

My ride

The Kia Soul is likeable but not loveable. I would not buy another one but it did serve it?s purpose and was reliable. it is a good vehicle to go back & forth to work.

3rd Vehicle - Fun to Drive!

Our oldest will be turning 16 within the next year. I commute for work, so decided to get a 2017 Soul+ as a 3rd vehicle to save some mileage on our other vehicle & eventually pass it down to our son. I LOVE IT! It's fun to drive, my kids love riding in it and can see well out of the 2nd row windows, and it's really been pretty versatile for our family of 5! We travel with swimming bags, giant dance competition bags, my work bags/materials - and it has been able to be configured in multiple ways. I like the quirky styling, and the sound system is good too. For a small vehicle, it's pretty quiet. I also like that it is easy to maneuver; it's easy to drive for a newer driver (with some strong safety ratings!). I'm getting around 29 mpg for combined highway/in-town running to a ton of kids activities. I'm not sure I'm going to give it up when the birthday rolls around... ;-)

Love the interior and spaciousness of vehicle

The car provided a reliable means of transportation while not losing any points in comfort or design. It?s a beautiful vehicle that meets all my needs!
