Wonderful family car

This car is very stylish and reliable. Perfect for days at the beach and great gas mileage for the commute back and forth to work.

Rides good and looks good.

The car rides very good and handles well. The turning radius is very tight. I wanted a red car and my wife wanted a white one, so we got a white car with a red top and we really like the styling.

Road Ride & Room

Ride is quit and comfortable in city streets or on highway road trips, plenty of room for 4 men in their 60?s and all their gear.

Awesome Kia Soul

Highway mileage isn?t as good as advertised, but it?s an awesome vehicle. Surprisingly roomy with great features like carplay. Sits comfortably. Heated seats and steering wheel.

Solid Car

It's a good car. It runs well and quietly. It doesn't use a lot of gas; I haven't had it long enough to test it. The large front window really enhances visibility. All the high-tech stuff is located where it is needed. Bottom line: it's a blast!

Kia Soul Turbo

This Kia Soul Turbo crossover, compact SUV, wagon or whatever you want to call it surprised the heck out of me. Great fun and impressive.

So much more than I imagined.

After looking at Suv's for a few wks, the price tag drew me toward a Kia soul but it is so much more than I imagined. It's incredibly roomy , gas mileage in okc is 32 mpg and 36 on the highway and it drives really great. Navigation was a deal breaker for me but with android auto and Apple play, it instantly adds navigation to my back up screen. It wasn't what I went looking for but it has been everything that I wanted.

Small yet efficient

I used to a own a 2015 kia sportage I traded it in for the soul. It's amazing on gas getting about 30 miles to the gallon. The features are great and I love the fact it has a sport mode. I love it it's probably the car I've ever owned so far

Soul searching

I wanted a Kia soul to begin with for the descent size and price I could afford. With two kids it fits them comfortably. It's also a manual, which I was looking for. Highly recommend. Pretty quick and fun to drive!
