Soul Turbo

Traded my hybrid Optima for something a little bigger. So I know what a great automobile Kia makes. The Turbo Soul has a lot of get up and GO!! The interior styling is really cool, love the panoramic sun roof and this car handles great. I love driving this!

A Very Nice Ride...So Far

Only owned for a week, I can tell that the gas mileage, car feel, entertainment system and car itself is worth the price I received.

Love my Kia Soul

Besides looking great on the outside, the inside is finished with quality that you would think above it's class. Nice job, Kia. I love my Soul.

Won't shop anywhere else then Deland Kia.

Love the look and feel of our Kia Soul. We have purchased 4 cars from Deland Kia. We are so pleased with the dealership we will not shop anywhere else.

Sporty, Attractive and Fun to drive!

This vehicle is very much worth the money and is a lot of fun to drive. It has a lot of power for a smaller 4 cylinder car and handles extremely well in any weather condition. I purchased the Soul+ because of the more powerful engine but the Base model was good too. This is the second one I purchased and I love it! I bought the new orange color and it is catching a lot of attention from others. I would highly recommend the Kia Soul to anyone who wants economy, sportiness, great handling, excellent interior, roominess and value. Definitely worth it.

Just amazed!

First, I have always been one to huff towards a Kia but with recent family changes and needing a new car I went to Kia to see why they are everywhere. Holy moly is this Soul so darn cute and soaps and comfortable and technological and fun to drive and the list goes on. There are no complaints about this car at all!

Soul Mate

One of the most economical vehicles I've owned. My 6'4" Son can easily drive or ride in the Soul with ample head and leg room. The 2.0 litter engine has the power to surprise while getting close to 30mpg with city and rural driving. Road and engine noise is fairly quiet compared to other cars of this size. Great side and rear vision zones. Fun car to drive!

Great Kia Soul!

Just purchased a 2018 Kia Soul Base. Coming from a Mini Cooper, this feels like a giant and yet still handles like the Cooper. Ample leg and head room, quiet as can be, engine has enough power to be competitive.
