Comfortable but Poor Quality

The car is comfortable and quiet to drive and came with alot of features for the money. They cheaped out on quality and design. After 90K miles the car uses a quart of oil per 2K miles. Sludge build up in the engine is common to this model I am told. Kia says that oil usage is "normal". They will not honor the warrantee unless it is using a quart per 1K miles. You have to come back 5 times with that rate of oil usage for them to honor the warrantee. Lesson Learned: Kia makes lousy cars. My next car will be a Toyota.

A excellent vehicle at a more than reasonable price.

I like this vehicle so much, that I would not hesitate to buy another. This is a fun car to drive and own. Upkeep on this vehicle is more than reasonable. Everyone that I talk to, that has one of these, say the same exact thing.

Love My Kia But Hate It!

Brought it with only 3500 miles 4 years ago today! Tires from factory didn’t last anytime. At 68k the engine gave it up and it took a little over 4 months to get a rebuilt engine put in! In the mean time I am without a car!

Cute little commuter and great fuel efficiency!!

I got this car to commute back and forth from Solano county to Richmond, CA. First let me say that for a little car, it feels roomy inside. It handles well and is fun to drive. I get excellent gas mileage in this car. In a pinch, I have been able to fold down the back seats and move a few things as well. It is not a speedy car, but it keeps up with traffic for sure.

Wonderful

I’m so thankful that a couple of years ago we rented a Kia Souk in Dallas, Texas. Because when I need a new vehicle my husband said about buying a Kia Soul! Best decision we made buying a vehicle. Happy it’s my vehicle.

Super Car!

This little car is the best car I have ever owned in my 77 years of life! It’s so comfortable and easy to get in and out. It drives like a breeze and I love all the space inside, in spite of all the room my walker takes up inside.And it is so cute!

I LOVE MY SOUL

Initially I purchased this vehicle because of its low price. But it's my favorite car I've ever owned! I do have the benefit of a sunroof lesser interior and upgraded sound system. I'm sure that plays a role.

I Have Loved Kia Soul Since it was a Concept Car

I loved this car before it was ever released in the US. Actually before it was part of the Kia lineup! It's a great size, it's built really well, and while you think the "trunk space" won't hold a 4-roll pack of toilet paper, you would be shocked at what I've been able to load in this car!!! The car overall has so much more space and head room than you think it does!! Three picky changes I would make: an inside hatch release (the auto open and touch button close would also be great), side grippers in the drink holders so narrow cups don't rattle and A/C vents in the back seat area. One more, and I don't know if any car offers this so take notes, Kia, and be the first!: the ability to change the cockpit light color. Most cars use red. I live in a very hot climate and would love to be able to set to a cool blue or a cute pink! Kia: Ever think about making a pick up truck? I need to check your site for new concept cars!

This is our 2nd Soul & we’ve loved them both

This is our 2nd Soul & even after A defective motor was replaced at N/C, including a free rental while the engine swap took place we will purchase another Soul when the time comes. Kia Soul is the best bang for the buck & Kia service is 2nd to none!

Gets very good gasoline mileage.

As I said it gets good gas mileage. I'm tired of the fucking survey's. Its write write write. So I'll write. The car was made in Korea. I have never liked the slant eyed bastards. I dont like the Goddamned Chinese the fuching Indians or the fucking Arabs. I like the British, Germans, Dagoes, Canadians, Greeks, and the Irish and Australians. Fuck the rest of the fucking world. I dont like you Goddamn fucking son of a bitches because of your fucking write write write survey's. So take your fucking survey's stick them up your fucking ass and hold to help. Don't ask me to do another survey.

My black soul

This car is amazing on gas, it it has so much room for passengers, and the safety ratings are high. I love my little crossover because I get a higher car without paying SUV prices. This is actually my second soul. And it is one of my favorite vehicles and super fun to drive.

Durable and great gas mileage

I had a Soul and had a major accident On a busy interstate that totaled the car but I walked away ultimately uninjured. I purchased another Kia Soul newer model. It’s affordable and has great gas mileage. I convinced a few of my friends to purchase a Soul as well and they enjoy theirs too.

Best car I’ve ever driven

In the past 60 yearsh of driving the Kia Soul I’ve been driving for three years, is the best car I’ve ever driven. I love the quirky style, the comfort, and all the room available.

My Kia Soul

Love it, love it ... love the color, although there are more around town than when I first purchased it in 2016. Can always find it in the parking lots and my friends always know I've arrived at our destinations due to that terrific green :) Alien Green I think it is called ?
