Comfortable & does not hit bumps like our 1st Kea

Car meets our needs, we feel safer because of all the safety features. The gas mileage is great. The car does not hit bumps and bounce you around. The seats are the most comfortable I have ridden in. We like all the features on the car.

Most reliable car i have ever owned.

This car is awesome. Back seat is comfortable and leg room is great. It looks small on the outside but is so roomy inside. SUMMIT place KIA treated me w high importance. Treated me like a friend. Didn't act like I was bothering them. Go see John Robert's. Awesome guy

Best all around car I've owned!~

This car was impressive from the first test drive. Nice look (love the mini Range Rover vibe), roomy front and back seats and cargo area with it's nifty bi level cargo floor. Spare tire has a soft plastic cover with all the tools imbedded for changing a tire. Dash is easy to use and configure. 10.25" nav screen is a pleasure. A/C is cold and powerful. Seats feel supportive and ride and drive is better than average for a vehicle of this size. Ventilated seats are an option on Soul's sold in Canada but not in the USA???? Fuel economy is pretty good considering the performance, 0-60 in 8.0 seconds. Handling is secure and sure footed and the safety suite (lane departure, pedestrian (rear) and vehicle detection (front & rear), active braking in the front and rear ABS etc) is very welcome. I only wish the upper doors had more than a small padded area for my elbow. Everything else is hard plastic, though oddly the entire dashboard is soft touch...go figure. Leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter was a pleasant surprise. Carpeting is super cheap so make sure you get floor mats for it. Overall, super vehicle for the price.

Love our Kia.

As with all the Kia Souls style since it debuted, the 2021 Soul is stylish, comfortable with lots of leg room and great on gas.

Loving the smooth riding

I think I can grow to like it. I'm just trying to familiarize myself with its features. It's a suitable size and spacious. I'm glad I can use Car play to use as a navigation . My kids love it so I guess I can too.

This is the fourth Soul I’ve owned

Love this car! It has lots of room, handles beautifully and is just fun to drive! I’ve been able to put more things in this car than a lot of other SUVS.

Most comfortable and easy handling I have had

Sits well on my back and has great control handling on the road. Great headroom getting in and out which helps with my back also.

Nice looking vehicle with plenty of room

I like my new car a lot. It is just the right size. Love that the back seats lay down nicely as we will use it when we travel.

I love this little car!

Very roomy for a small car! Super comfortable and fun to drive. It is loaded with all kinds of “gadgets “ that I am having fun learning how to use!
