I love my Kia

I love driving my Kia. I've had my car for 10 years. No problem with mechanical things Have changed tires only once. Have kept up on regular oil changes. The ride is smooth and I get an average of 30 miles per gallon. Wonderful cat.

Most reliable car I have ever had.

I have had my 2012 Kia Soul since I bought it new. The gas mileage is good. Very roomy on the inside but easy to park into smaller spaces. Have only had to replace the battery , front brakes and tires in the past years. It has given me zero problems over the years and I will keep it as long as I can.

I love my Kia

Itā€™s perfect for a family of 5 or less. Perfect on gas and I love my mood lights. Itā€™s a 2012 and I still love my Kia. Drives smoothly and itā€™s FWD. This is a highway vehicle and will drive smooth and fast without you even realizing it.

Concerns

Even though my Kia is 8 years old it only has just under 40 thousand miles on it. It concerns me very much that I may be looking and having to replace the transmission. And of course the warranty has timed out. I guess I should have driven it more earlier to have the issue taken care of. I understand about having the transmission fluid changed but surely a transmission should last longer that 40 thousand miles. On one occasion when I accidently "hopped" a curb the entire front left bumper became detached. I thought I was looking at a very expensive fix. Much to my surprise my mechanic nephew pushed it right back into place. Should I be happy it was fixed for free or sad that it was so easily manipulated? The car can be connected to my telephone for use through the speakers. However, you have to enter the password every time you get into the car. I've always thought that it rode kind of rough but the issue was taken care of when I bought better tires. I also found out early on that the mpg was falsely advertised. And of course what little money I was refunded was spread over some silly debit cards that were hardly worth the time to process..

2012 KIA Soul

Good little car with lots of space inside for three grandchildren to sit comfortably on back seats. Back seats fold down for more truck space when needed. Good gas mileage.

Love it!

LOVE IT! Excellent turning, decent gas mileage, sufficient carrying capacity for my needs and fits me at 4 feet, 10 inches. My 2012 Kia has had no problems in the time I have had her thanks to the good and regular care by Nauset auto. Time for a new one, perhaps gently used.

Kia Soul

As a retired couple, it meets our needs well & is reliable. We have it serviced regularly and the only major problem is that the A/C system has developed a leak that is too costly to repair...we refill with refrigerant in June or July to provide cooling during the summer heat.

Reliable gas saver

Bought used and have only needed normal maintenance such as oil changes and filters, and rotating tires the sunroof leaks in a heavy rain. The power windows act up. Hard to drive in the wind, but otherwise she is great!

Roomy

My spouse, David, and I tested many cars before purchasing the Kia Soul. We were both big guys and the Soul provided ample room in both front and rear seating areas. The price was right and we loved the Alien Green color. When split rear seat is folded down there is plenty of room for luggage.

2012 Kia soul

My only concern is that at almost 120K miles I'm using about 2qts. Of oil between oil changes and this is after a $2000 cylinder head work.
