Just rented a Kia Soul

So far I like the inside and the room, would like a little more trunk area, the ride is a little bumpy though - sort of like going on a tiny roller coaster - a bit.

I've owned three and loved them all.

I enjoyed my Soul with the 6 speed manual transmission. My girlfriend has the automatic version and it needs to be revved pretty hard to go anywhere, whereas I can keep it in the torque band.

Most stylish and gas efficient car I've owned.

This car is so stylish and fits my personality. I have never been so comfortable in a car! Only having to fill the tank every 2 weeks is awesome as well!

Great lil car

Best car I’ve ever owned. 33-35 miles per gallon. Front wheel drive but with studded tires I have no problems in the snow or ice.

Regrettable Purchase

Bought a 2015 from my wife who really wanted one. It is unique and is fun to drive. Around 60,000 miles started using oil. Have to add a quart of oil every 1800 miles or so. Dealer says is nothing wrong with it. At 104,000 miles, transmission goes out. $2,200 to repair.

Modern with comfort

The car was spacious and met all my expectations for a middle class income. The car is a chameleon. It looks small but actually spacious inside.

After accident in smaller car I feel safer in the

Sits up higher. Wide windshield for better view. Drives very smooth. Wish it had keyless start but can’t have everything! Love the temp setting. You just turn the knob to the temp you want inside the car. Apple play is great - maps easy to display. Display is very nice and easy to see. Also would like digital speed but am getting used to the older style speed display. Overall I love this car!
