best damn car I've ever owned

Value, economy, reliability. Good mileage. Comfortable ride. Everyone who rides or drives it is impressed. I love to drive this car. It's great for road trips. I've never been disappointed with this car. The engineers and designers did their homework when they made this car. I love to drive down the road and see how many other people are driving a Kia Soul. I'm definitely a "Soul Man" for life!

KIA Soul+

It's a roomy car with being able to keep my hat on when inside it. Very peppy at most speeds and gets over 30mpg on the road. Just wish it got higher mpg at high speeds when travelling in AZ where highway speeds are over 70mph in most places. Since I changed tires just recently the noise level is way down and quite acceptable.

The Soul is an excellent car for the price.

I bought my Soul 5 years ago and have never regretted the decision. It is roomy and fun to drive as well as very reliable and easy to handle. I have influenced a number of friends and acquaintances to seriously consider buying the Soul and many have. I would buy another one when considering a new car.

2011 Kia Soul

We bought the Kia Soul because of the cute advertising, and the overall looks. The fuel economy is good - 28 - 34 mpg highway. There are two drawbacks however: (1) The seats are uncomfortable. There are metal slates (2) that run the length of the front seats; after about 45 minutes you can feel the metal slates rubbing against your buttocks. For a long drive, the seats ARE UNCOMFORTABLE!. Secondly, the basic body style makes backing up difficult because a lot of rearward view is blocked by the two rear sections of the frame (both sides of the rear panel). I sometimes have to switch from looking in the rear view mirror to checking the outside side mirror to make certain of my rearward driving. A third comment, only an observation; is that I've had to replace one tire (left rear) and repair the right rear tire twice. Have 57,100 miles on vehicle. Maintenance and performance are very good overall, though.

Just a Great Little Car

When we were car-shopping my wife, the spiritual type, just had to check out a car called the Soul. It turned out to be exactly what we were looking for and we've been very happy with it. It's comfortable, fun to drive, and gets reasonable gas mileage. And looks cool (we got the Alien green). It has a very roomy backseat and a lot of cargo space for a small car. It's tall (as tall as the neighbor's Jeep Cherokee) which makes it easy to get in and out of, especially for older people. And I really like the short turning radius.

Excellent! Would Buy It Again!

We bought our 2011 Kia Soul ! used from Enterprise Car Sales with 38K miles. It was in good condition. We now have 104,000+ miles on it, through scorching summers, mountains, floods and even plowing through drifts of snow in blizzards...the Soul has never let us down! In the 65K miles we have put on it, we've only had to change the oil, the tires and replace the brake pads. And other than a free factory replacement of the horn, we have had NO other needed repairs. We now live on a ranch and drive on sometimes quite nasty county roads. We have driven back and forth across the country multiple times, all without incident. I installed a tow hitch and we occasionally tow a trailer with equipment or hay. I installed a roof rack and have used for everything from lumber to a luggage roof bag to a 3-man canoe. Couple its versatility with excellent interior room, both for passengers (front and back) and storage (especially when we lay down the seats) and admirable gas mileage (25-30MPG), and we can only say...the Kia Soul rocks!

The perfect mix of reliability, looks, comfort (kinda) and my complete dedication to a fantastic machine

I purchased my 2011 Soul off lease in August of 2012 from Greico Kia in Delray Beach, Florida. I never had any respect for car dealerships I got a wake up call when I got the hots for the Soul I was treated with respect, found the car I was interested in and waged war on comprable prices at other dealers. Got a very, very fair deal, used car with 32Kmiles in perfect, new condition. Car was certified (VERY IMPORTANT!!) It has never failed me. I put the key in, it starts and I go. I now have 135K miles on it, and it is still like new. Paint is perfect, body is clean inside, and it holds construction tools and hardware, but just a bit too small for my immediate needs. It has been back to the dealer twice- The AM radio antenna broke, and the horn was under recall for replacement. Greico gave me a loaner car both times. Perfromance: Ride- Choppy, Noisy, and car make a variable vibration hum at higher speeds, Replaced tires had no effect. Living with it, The newer Souls have a much better ride and no mystery hums. Reliabilty 10 plus. Never broke down on the road or at home. Failing battery gave plenty of notice- slow starter. Original brake pads on back, 2nd set of pads on front. Air conditioning sometime too cold, even a slowest speed. Blue tooth best feature, wish I could change voice from Korean english to Brooklyn or something more personal. Would I recommend this again? Suprisingly no, not for me. Too small, and as Consumer Reports once called the Dodge Neon, a "low rent car", At this point in my life I want to step up to the Honda CR V or the Suzuki Forrester- All three cars have received outstanding reviews in Consumers reports, my car buying bible. I am sure the new Soul has all the improvements I long for in the ride, but at this point, I can afford to move up. It has been a good friend and made me proud to own it.
