Had soul for only 6 months 6000 miles
By davsmith on Thursday, November 30, 2017
1-My son is 6ft7in, He fits fine in the soul, 2-Door upholstery cleans with free whips from Publics, 3-Seat comfort & adjustments are good, 4-Clearance off the ground - ie. some cars hit the curb when parking, 5-Has sporty tight suspension, handles well on roads, 6-Could have better gas milage=wife only drives automatic. 7-Last but not least: price under 20k. Wished I could add built-in rearview monitor on the base model. It is easy to get in and out of, is peppy enough to pass if needed, drives 85mph, has plenty of room, tight enough handling and VERY comfortable. Easy to park. Has blind spots on both rear sides. The bright color is easy for others to see. We all love this car every time we get in it! - 5.0
VERY PLEASED
By SLV1953 on Sunday, September 17, 2017
The Soul was just what I was looking for, Better than average mileage, comfortable and extra room at an affordable price. Even without any upgrades the vehicles standard equipment was surprising. Its just under three years old and I still enjoy driving it. - 4.0
4 cylinder engine replacement required
By Kate on Saturday, February 20, 2021
While I found my kia soul all around a good commute vehicle, and not bad for a camping cargo car, I was severely disappointed when I was forced to replace the entire engine around 100,000 miles. The value of which was nearly $7000 and something that regularly happens in Kia's 4 cylinder model vehicles. The repair is done and the car runs beautifully now. However, I am ready to move on and never go back to a kia again.
