In love with my car!

I shopped online and look at every make and model along with looking at cars going by while out in public that looked like something I might want then coming home and checking it out online. I am older now and wanted serious safety and security. The Kia Soul has so many items on my list as "Standard" and then I added a few fun extras. I was so amazed when I finally test drove how plush and modern the interior was. I had expected for such a good price it would feel hard and like a tin can inside. It perfect for what I wanted. Each time I drive my Kia Soul I am so very pleased at my choice of cars. It is above my expectations.

best gas mileage I have ever had. Seating great.

Great ride. Plenty of legroom. Sporty look. Smooth ride for a small car. Very inexpensive to drive. Has plenty of power. The lease terms were fair. Make sure you get at least 12,000 mile per year.

Good for the money

The Kia feels much bigger than it really is, and I actually like it shape. I think it is cute, and it seems to drive well.

The best of the Souls that I've owned

This Soul has addressed any and all issues I had with the 2 previous Souls that I've owned. It has numerous safety features including a check back seat message. In bright light the car looks orange yet appears to be a dark red in the shade. I like that effect. The trunk is roomier. The AC has more control features. They have moved the gear shift closer to the dashboard - perhaps a little too close to the heater/ac fan control as my knuckle almost grazes it. Still, that is my only concern and it's minor. Many thanks for the spare tire. I will say that I feel safe driving this car.

Best Car Ever Owned

2nd Soul. Bought this one for safety features. A key feature for older people is the ease of entry and exit, among the best. It's simply a great smaller car.

Our 3rd Kia Soul

This is the 3rd Kia Soul we have purchased. We've had a 2013, 2015 and now a 2021. My wife drives it most of the time. Gets around town and can park anywhere, very maneuverable and long distance travels are comfortable. Has plenty of room for shopping. Overall a very nice car.
