Definitely a good buy!

Bought the Kia Soul 2013 at end of 2013. Had very few issues with car over the years; has 120,000 plus miles on it now. Had very little mechanical problems over the years and vehicle might see 200,000 miles one day. Honestly only problem is thieves breaking in to this car and dealer not being able to find obvious problem with engine once, even after I told them what it could be; didn’t believe me. Went outside, told an auto shop what it could be; they checked and it was the problem; fixed it and not running great again. Great car!!

Kia Sol referred to as "HALF LOAF"

Within a few days, my Kia Sol (named HALF LOAF) went into JAKL Automotive, recieved estimate/scheduled/services and done. Efficient /consistent. Kia runs smoothly with no problems. Reccomend all with auto ossues to contact JAKL Automotive for auto issues. Excellent that they are located in my neighborhood of Kawaihae. Mahalo, Duane Uyetake

good car

Loved the car but the microsoft driven radio went kaput just after warranty ended on it. went to several people (radio specialists) and none could fix it. Dealer would by replacing radio $1500. Many had problems with this radio should have had a recall on it. Been driving for 60 years and have never had a radio break.Sucks

Doesn’t age well

I got this car new / wanted it to be that small import that will last a long time if you take good care of it / it is not that durable / I’m at 105K , was planning to get at least 200K out of it but I’m probably gonna have to change vehicles way before 200

Best investment I ever made

I have over 275,000 miles on my Soul. We bought it with 15 miles on it. We have completed oil changes and tire/brake replacements only during the entire time we have had it. The interior is roomy enough for 4 adults comfortably and the durability is second to none.

Gets the Job Done

This car has been through the ringer with me. Trips to and from Houston. Trips to Indiana, Michigan, Alabama. It took me back and forth from Jax to Orlando every week, the year I was in massage school. She's beat up pretty bad from all the morons that have hit me, but she's held up. I can get in and out of any tight spot. She runs like a champ and hardly ever gives me any grief. Occasionally she'll growl at me when I grind her gears cuz I'm shifting too fast and not paying attention. Lol My kids love this car. I hope to teach them how to drive stick with her someday. I've certainly put her through the ringer. Started with 65k in miles and in 6 years i more than doubled that. Lol She's pretty awesome. I wish she had some better pick me up. She doesn't have much oomf. She's not the MOST comfortable, but she's not a Flintstone car either. I would definitely buy a newer model, but only if it's another 6 speed.

Great little car

I really love my Kia Soul. It gives me the feel of a really small car and yet the ability to carry a lot of things in the back that a small car can't do. I love how easy it is to park and the turn radius. It is easy to get in and out of for someone with arthritis! Seems to be really mechanically sound. Great price!

OIL GULPING KIA SOUL

At 41,000 miles the Ron Tonkin Kia dealer in Gladstone had to replace the engine in my Kia Soul for excessive oil consumption. I was very impressed how they handled it. It took only one oil consumption test and bingo they put in a new engine (reconditioned of course). Now 30,000 miles later I have the exactly the same problem. They had me do already one oil consumption test and now they let me do that one over again. Only God knows why. The plan is for a total of three tests with some engine fiddling in between. The normal recommended oil change is 7500 miles. At 750 miles my car is a quart low. This means that I have to add 9 times a quart of oil before the next oil change. The oil tank in my Kia soul contains only 3.49 quart. They also said that I might have to pay for the next test. That is not going to happen because I will take them to court if that before I do that. If the oil consumption is less than 1000 miles per quart they won't do anything, because they consider that now normal. In essence they have unilaterally reduced the benefits under the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. I am very confident that Kia cannot legally change the warranty midstream. Also note that the reconditioned engine might have had 200,000 miles on it before the stuck it in my car.

Love my Kia

As most of us know or have experienced; once you make your last car payment, things on your car begin to fall apart, this is where I am on my Kia Journey but, other than that, I would by another one. Love my Kia”!

Love My Kia Soul

The initial cost was great! My Soul is completely outfitted with everything I need. It is 7 years old and have not put much money in it. Gets great gas mileage, big enough for me and my dog, holds luggage when when we go on a trip, and easy to wash.

Love at first ride!

I purchased my 2013 Kia Soul as a used vehicle but it has always seemed brand new to me. I love my little car. Fuel milage is great. It is a fun little car that I can get into easier than I could get into the driver seat of the mini-van I had before the Soul! My son, who is 6'x2", has plenty of leg and head room in the car, when he rides with me. You won't mistake it for a luxuary car, but it gets me where I need to go. Very reliable.

A little more space in the front.

High enough to get in, as not too low or too high, but the area in the front seating could be more liberal with the center storage and beverage area.

This vehicle meets my needs for a vehicle.

Aside from one little problem (driver error), it has exceeded my expectations. Decent mileage, smooth shifting 6 speed transmission, plenty of room, and lightweight enough to be towed with my motorhome. It is fun to drive. Almost feels like driving a sports car. Good turning radius and a solid feel on the road. Glad I bought it.

Kia Soul

I REALLY HATE the lack of visibility to the sides and the rear of the car. If my wife had not thought the Chipmunks were SOOOO CUTE in the commercials we would not have bought it. I want my SUBARU back!

our little soul

Our Kia Soul has been on the road all the time since we bought it. Everyday to work and back, family outings and vacations...great car. We just had our first and only 100,000 mile tune up and a few repairs need for a car with that many miles on it.. My wife loves it and we will most likely be looking at Kia for our next car!

2013 Kia Soul

Wanted a Soul from the moment I saw them and when I got my 2013, I knew that I was right to want one. It is easy to drive and is what I need to get around town and to work and back. Is not a touring car so very long trips might not be it's strength but I would not trade it for any other car out there. If I had to buy it all over again, I would definitely do so!
