I love everything about it

I LOVE the KIA Soul

The KIA Soul is a great car! Reliable and economical, it has all the benefits of a compact car, yet features a spacious interior and a sporty exterior. It works with my iphone so that I have hands-free dialing and access to all of my favorite media. It's super-comfortable and drives smoothly and tightly both highway and inter-city, as well as being reliable and safe. Five Stars!!

Love my 2018 Kia Soul!

I basically love everything about my new Kia Soul, first the seats fit you like a glove, it has such a smoother ride than my previous 2013 Kia Soul, the stereo is awesome, love the backup camera (such an amazing feature), can?t say enough about the awesome stereo in the Kia?s. Love my new warranty I received with my new purchase, makes me feel so much safer knowing that is in place if something would happen. I just can?t say enough to describe how much I love my new car purchase.

comfortable, dependable, affordable

This is my second Kia Soul. I love this car. It handles good. It is great on gas. It's very comfortable with plenty of leg and head room. I drove it from Florida to Michigan several times. This is the best car I have ever owned. I am a Kia Soul owner for life.

Fun vehicle even at base model

This car is great, it's sporty and fun to drive. I have plenty of cargo space, the back seat is small but comfortable for children. Even with the seats up I have enough room for grocery storage in the back. This is a base model, a newer car and my insurance premiums still went down!!

New Soul Plus

I wanted a ?box? car similar to a Honda Element I previously owned, but with a price near/under 20K. The Kia Soul was the only option that seemed to meet my needs for cargo (dog sports), price, and passenger comfort. I wish the Soul was a foot longer in the cargo area, but that?s a trade off I made. The Soul + is a nice trim level. Passenger seating is good front and rear (I?m 6?). The engine/transmission is smooth and has plenty of power for normal driving. Build quality looks good. I?m happy with the purchase.

Fun car to drive. Plenty of room. Decent amount of cargo space. Love my red/black color combination. Would recommend buying at Byers Kia.

Big things come in small packages

Looking at the vehicle from the outside is very deceiving. It looks like you may not have too much room inside, BUT once you take a seat it is surprisingly spacious. The panoramic sunroof is to die for and makes the experience all the more enjoyable. I never thought I would drive a Kia Soul, and now I couldn't be happier with my decision.
