  • My Soul - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I just purchased a new 2010 Kia Soul and was used to driving a 2001 BMW X5. I am totally amazed at the performance and fully loaded system the ! (Exclaim) model offers! I love my 18" stylish wheels and low profile tires, mood lighting speakers, and overall look. I never suspected my little gal would get so many neck breaking looks!!! I selected Titanium for the color and totally love it! I never thought I would own a Kia, but when GM and Ford wouldnt deal with me on trade in, I took Head Motor Company up on their offer of giving more for a trade in, no hype there, totally amazing facts!!!

    Bought for 8,000 dollars a few a months ago. 86,0000 miles and 4th owner. Was not thrilled about giving up my 2001 Outback (196,000). this car sits more like a SUV. Its the first year made. Like the fact it is easy to get into. My dog carrier is a good size. I am 52 and it very easy to load and unload items. Wonder if the new ones are more comfortable? Downfall, I feel like Im filling it up every time I turn around. Guess it has a smaller gas tank. Over all, not a bad car.

  • Love it overall - 2010 Kia Soul

    I purchased my 2010 Soul in July of 09 and love it mostly overall. Lots of interior room, lots of outside style and very comfortable to drive.

  • Many Problems - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    The car is pretty but there are problems such as vibration when putting on brakes and wheel veer to left, too much noise with windows down to hear radio, bluetooth dont work with all cell phones, when you complain about the problem they have a answer, as though youre crazy. The prices are higher than advertised. I give it a thumbs up for looks and a thumbs down for smooth ride it hits every bump in the rode.No trunk space I love the Sirius radio but it goes in and out.

  • Love our SOUL! - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    We have had the Soul for little more than a week and we love it. Supposed to cater to the younger set. Well I am in my upper 60s; so guess what? The car may not ride as smoothly as some of your luxury cars but it has all the bells and whistles they have and cost THOUSANDS less. So far no complaints. Also I am a first time foreign car buyer.

  • 146 miles and already in the shop - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I bought the Soul on June 23 after researching many car options. I choose the Soul based on the warranty and owner reviews. When I bought the car it had 20 miles on it. I drove it for 3 days and then the check engine light came on. It has been in the shop over 24 hours and they have no idea what is wrong other than the p0301 cyl. 1 misfire code. When I called the dealer who sold me the car about the fact that I had the car for 3 days and it was in the shop their response was "These are new cars so we dont work on them much so when they break down it takes us longer to fix." Really? After 3 days your cars breakdown?

  • Want lots of attention? - 2010 Kia Soul

    We have had a great time so far in this car. Very comfortable and fun. Great style and lots of people notice us in the Molten Red model. Moved my wife from an 07 Explorer and was worried about size change but she is falling in love with the soul.

    So far so good. Was great on our first day trip. I am super impressed with my Hyundai and Kia and I think I will be a loyal customer.

  • Best car I have ever Driven - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I bought my car a month ago and it is the first brand new car I have ever owned! I have driven a lot of newer cars but none of them even compare to how this drives!! I have the Base Model! Which means I dont have any upgraded features! But I didnt want to "upgrade" because I wanted the Manual Transmission!! It really drives like a dream! Any movement in your hands and the car reacts!

  • Kia Soul is Practical and Peppy! - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Im about 59 and Ive always had small, compact cars. The Kia Soul is a unique, mini-suv (really) with more leg room than any compact car offers. Safety features, long warranty, Kias roadside assistance service, impressive STANDARD features, as well as EPA and IIS accolades sold me on this car. For the price and everything you get STANDARD, this car is a good investment. I recently noticed the blind spot everyone mentions, but; that is easily fixed by purchasing "blind-spot" mirrors at a local auto parts store.
