Engine failure, highly consuming engine oil.
My family has owned 2 Kia souls, it’s a cute & fun car with bright colors. Both had a 2.0 engine that consumed gallons of oil (a gallon a month) Kia looked into it starting at 80 k miles, response was “that’s to bad” made it to 122k and got rid of it. This 2.0 engine has this issue everywhere, check out YouTube. Would not recommend anything with this engine.

Don't buy a used one with a key start lol
I have owned a Kia Soul Brownstone Edition for 6 years now. It hasn't given us any issues aside from a brake ABS failure in warranty. However, since Kia skimped out on immobilizers, I wouldn't get one without push button start, which is most of them, unfortunately. While they extended the warranty on the engine, they have plenty of fundamental issues with it, and also, my Kia after 4 years, has noises in front and back suspension sway bars, and the strut tower bearings make noise. While these don't need to be fixed, they make the car sound like crap. I just drove a 2019 Kona with the same amount of miles, and the suspension on that was just fine. Might be due to the larger wheels and smaller profile tires, I don't know. If Kia ever sells the EV soul in the US, I'd get that. So far, they've been good.
