The Kia Soul is great for commuting and getting around
The Kia Soul is great for commuting and getting around town. It gets very good mileage and has everything I need to get comfortably from point A to point B. It's not a "Grand Tourer." It won't set your heart aflutter as your roar down the interstate. But it's comfortable to drive, the styling is good (I kind of like the older model years slightly better), and the features are well thought out and valuable. I REALLY like the Kia Soul! The one I won now is my second one, and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with another some day.

Scared for my life
I love the vehicle but it has my anxiety level up due to the horn has gone out! I purchased it in August of 2023 and by January the horn has completely stopped working, making the commute to and from work very scary! I can’t warn other drivers of my presence on the roadway, I’m afraid to drive it now because I almost got ran over, and the dealers don’t keep something so important in stock!

After test driving one we really like that it.
Definitely very comfortable driving this car. Good on gas. Has a lot of great options and a lot more room inside than I thought it would have 4 adults can sit very comfortably and this car.

Sad, disappointed and upset
I was so excited when I bought my Kia Soul last February 2023 , and in less than a year the car had 2 recalls, the last one that is a fire hazard, and then the horn and the alarm dye so it have to be replaced. So needless is to said that the excitement went to be a disappointment.

Highly Recommend
After driving my GF's 2020 Soul Xline and her mother's 2020 Ex round trip from Arizona to Wisconsin I decided to buy a 2023 Soul Ex for myself and my GF's also purchased a new one. I'm 6'3" and am comfortable driving cross country, the car is smooth and doesn't have the horrible road noise associated with smaller FWD vehicles. The soul is a fun to drive great value vehicle. After 10 months and 10K miles I've had zero Issues and am extremely happy with my soul.

DO NOT BUY KIA CARS
My car has 12K miles, the gas should cut off automatically once you apply the break on stop signal. In the beginning it was working but after 6-7k miles this is not working and the worst thing showroom can’t fix it and now they don’t wanna fix it at all. Apple play in this car doesn’t work at all. Very rare it connects phone and then goes off. I highly recommend DO NOT BUY KIA, DO NOT. There car might look better but it’s not durable at all plus bad service.

Excellent at Its Job
I count on my car to get me from here to there, comfortably. The Kia Soul is roomy with all the controls logically and conveniently laid out. I'm not going to take it to track day any time soon. But sometimes I catch myself almost truly enjoying my commute. It's everything I require out of a commuting vehicle (and an occasional long haul ride) - and it's nothing I don't need.

Outstanding
It's just we wanted. My wife is very short, so we wanted a car that has an electric adjustable driver seat. We rented a KiA 2021 and that's when we fell in love. We have had our Soul for over a year and we are very pleased.
