  • I love driving this car - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I love driving this car. I love the room and not visiting the gas station as often anymore. I do recommend this car. It is small on the outside but big on the inside.

  • scratches driving me to drink - 2010 Kia Soul

    I love this little car. Ive had it for 6 months but the interior looks like its 10 years old. you cant breath on these doors without scratching them. Its got 9000 miles on it,and I only had to replace the fuel pump. I have a case pending on the door problem since January and the problem is still not resolved, they keep telling me theyre working on it. Good luck to anybody who has kids and buys this car, the interior will look 10 years old in 1 week!

  • Love my Soul - 2010 Kia Soul

    I bought the KIA Soul almost three weeks ago, and am truly enjoying it. I drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee for many years and needed to finally replace it. My brother suggested looking at a KIA, and went with me to the dealership. He was really impressed with the Soul over the Sportage - I liked both equally, but took his advice on the Soul, and dont regret it for one second! Living in AZ, the tinted windows are a huge plus. It is much smaller than the Jeep, but feel just as comfortable. Maybe its just my Soul, but must say its a QUIET ride. Feels solid, handles great. For what you get with the price-its definitely a bargain. No regrets!

  • Fun Family Ride - 2010 Kia Soul

    Love this car...or is it an SUV? Drives like a car, but you are up higher and off the road which is nice. Super versatile, tons of room, my kids have long long legs and they love the extra leg room. I like the visibility from the drivers side and its so cute and fun to drive! My daughter hopes she gets to drive it when she turns 16 in a few more years...Great family runabout vehicle.

  • Soul Love - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Just traded in my cobalt for a Soul and I love every minute of driving it. It is a big small car. Looking at it from the outside you would never think there could be so much space. I have the audio upgrade and auto dimming rear view mirror I highly recommend both. It is everything you could want a car to be. If she treats me right I may be loyal to Kia for life. I get a lot of compliments on it. Get the ipod cable its worth it.

  • I got SOUL - 2010 Kia Soul

    After owning the car for 9 months i can say I am still in love with this vehicle. Im 63" and fit very comfortably in here. All the gadgets are a blast to use.

  • Theres more than what meets the eye - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Just bought one of the "Molten Red" Sport models. Its got a real neat interior. Ive never seen anything like it. When driving at night I feel like Im in some sort of high-tech lounge or something. The front speakers light up in different ways and the sound system is great. Im an audiophile and a guitar player/sound engineer and know what sounds good so, rest assured.It does take some tweaking though. The car performs great and handles just the same. Im tickled pink with it. You gotta go easy on the accelerator. Its very sensitive at slow speeds.

  • Great Car - Buy one! - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I spent a lot of time comparing the RAV4, CRV, Outlander, and others. The price, features, MPG, warranty, and most important question "Do I like this car" led me to buy the Soul. I have put on 7,000 miles since May 09. I drive 60 miles a day and have taken this on 4 trips so far. I can truly say I am VERY happy with the Soul, how it is built, comfort, and MPG. I am 6 tall and there is plenty of room for me to sit. My 67" brother in law can also fit into this car! Front and side visibility is great. Rear visibility is good. Handling is great I saved $5 - 6,000 over a RAV4 (which was my 2nd choice). I am planning on driving this til it dies, we will see when that is!!

  • looks cool but build quality? - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Bought this car because of price and features. Both look great on paper. After less than 1000 miles of ownership, the rear suspension started rattling. The dealer took the car for one week of "evaluation and repair" and after replacement of a rear strut gave back the car still rattling with an explanation that "it is a characteristic of this vehicle". Not very reassuring assessment of build quality if the suspension with less than 1000 miles of use is rattling like a New York City cab!!
