I love my car!

It's great! It has more get up and go than people like to give it credit for. I love having space to pack it up it's great on gas. I bought it used and the only problem I've had is the coils. Easy quick inexpensive fix!

Very pleased

This is one of the best car purchases of my lifetime. In all these years, my only repair has been to replace a sprain in the trunk opening. It is a great car, especially for college students and singles. Inexpensive, reliable, and easy to pack. My biggest complaint with the car and all these years has been the poor lighting in the back hatch back area. That drives me nuts. I’m always afraid I left some food spoil in the back. I would definitely buy again.

2011 Kia Soul Sport

Absolutely love my Soul Sport - I will definitely buy another one! I bought this car brand new and have enjoyed every drive. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned, it’s roomy, and extremely safe. I’m a VERY happy Kia owner!

Luv my Soul!

It wasn't what I wanted initially but I luv it now! It can take on fender benders with minimal damages, doesn't like to go under 60mph, can be parked just about anywhere, and many more reasons why I love it! 3 downfalls to this car it doesn't do well on windy days. Not comfortable at all to sleep or camp in. Tiny storage space in back.

Economical Sporty Mini SUV with Zip!

I’ve always been a small car advocate, but this time I wanted a Sporty, but economical Rig that I could ‘car camp’ in the summer. I spent a few weeks researching the modern day small SUVs and finally concluded that Kia’s Soul was the one for me. I also lucked out and found the Deluxe Model which gave me all the high end accessories (fab stereo, musical colored lights, heated leather seats, Moon Roof, etc.) along with very low mileage for it’s age. With a fold down back seat and a custom foam mattress, some homemade curtains this Soul gives me just enough comfort for camping on the road. It’s so fun to drive with it’s tranny that can be in automatic mode or switched to ‘manual’ if your racing desires over take your mood for speed! Zippy Fun, Comfort, Economical and Style…a Great Choice!

Exceptionally reliable

My car is not flashy or showcar but it is & has been exceptionally reliable. My only complaint,if can call it that is the gas mileage is only good. I get about 32 mpg. But i love this car & highly recommend it

2011 Kia Soul

I love my Kia Soul it is great on, rides smooth and is quit. It's a small SUV with a lot of room on the inside. I love the Red color. It's very comfortable, reliable and great on gas. It's a fast little car.

I'm a Soul Man!

My 2011 Kia Soul! is, frankly, one of the best, most economical, most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. When it's time to buy a new vehicle, I will most definitely look for another Kia Soul! After 133,000 mi, my Kia has effectively been trouble-free. Outside of routine maintenance, I haven't had to invest in any major repairs.

Love my Hammy (Kia Soul 2011)

The best vehicle I’ve ever owned in the last 21 years . I would keep her forever if I could . Now she’s reached her milestone of 150,000 and still in excellent shape . I could have never chosen a perfect car for me , that’s within my budget and had no compromise on the safety and practicality. The last 8 years I’ve had this car , I’ve driven it out of town at least 3 to 4 times a year. It has also come in handy when I’ve moved about 4 to 5 different times because I was about to put and haul at least smaller furnitures in the back with the backseats down. Love love love my Kia Soul 2011

Great car

We love our soul, it’s a fun car to drive around town. Our second year with the Soul, we took it to upstate NY and it handled the mountain roads just fine. Only wish it had all wheel drive, a more powerful engine and better shocks.

Soul

I love my car. It's been a pleasure to drive! I had an optima. That car was extremely comfortable. It was bigger though. I wanted something a little smaller, but feel big inside. The Kia Soul is a perfect fit!

Love My Soul!

My 2011 Kia Soul has 120,000+ miles on her and has never need much more than regular maintenance. No unexpected failures. No crazy engine problems. Just years of good, reliable driving! It’s the perfect size for my needs. I’m looking forward to getting another Kia Soul in the future.

Love it.

Love my car. I will love to get a newer one. If you keep up the maintenance it will last just recently passed 100,000 miles and i got it 3 years ago when it was at 70,000. You should definitely consider.

Still going strong

After living in China for 11 years, I retired and came home to the US. Sometimes it takes the experience of living overseas to realize how "fat and sassy" Americans are about their possessions -- especially vehicles. FAR more than they need, and often it's for status. Me? I love my little Kia Soul. I'm single and don't have kids to haul around. The best things about it are its safety rating and the fact that I can get in and out without contorting my neck. Good mileage, too. A great car for my simple needs.

Love My KIA!!

I’ve owned many cars in my 52 years of life , expensive luxury cars , sports cars , blah blah blah ,, you get it . I have owned my 2011 Kia since new and it has been the MOST reliable car I have ever owned !! I mean it !! Other than routine services , oil changes , tires , belts , etc I have never had anything catastrophic happen . Best car for the money, hands down !! Oh ,,,, and by the way and I’m not kidding; I bought the car because I wanted a car where my dogs felt that they were close to me on our little journeys to the beach, doggie parks and such !

Pretty Good Little Car

I really like my2011 standard transmission Kia Soul. It has been very reliable and utilitarian. It's not the quietest of cars and the buffering when the front or rear windows are down is intolerable. But that can be worked around. It handles well for a boxy car. I love the roominess of it and it's great for pets and transporting all sorts of large purchases, lots of cargo space.
