  • Great Value - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Just bought it tonight after looking for several weeks at xB, Fit, Element & Cube. All the included features and warranty just cant be beat. I wanted a manual transmission again to teach son how to drive and this will do just fine. Not sports car shifting/handling but not expecting that anyway. Our family of four is very comfortable around town which is 95% of drive time anyway. Very stable on road. 18" wheels slighty less give than 16" on the + model, but the rest of the ! features were worth it. So far so good!

    This is an awesome little car. We went from a gas guzzling Mazda 6 to this awesome 31 avg. MPG car. This is our very first new car and what a buy! There have been no issues. Our MPG is just amazing to us and we are saving money on our payments. If people dont like that it doesnt have auto everything I say to them,"QUIT BEING LAZY!". As for MPG, if ya cant get great milage, maybe try keepin it in ECO MODE or just try driving the speed limit. This isnt a Ford, Nissan, or GM, this is in a class of its own. One awesome car, way to go Kia.

  • Its Hip, Funky and Fun ... - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Test driven the Soul 4u Burner(CDA spec) aka Sport, loved it and got it. The exterior styling is hip and good looking compared to the scion xB and nissan cube. The interior is also nice as well. Performance is pretty good. Its pretty speedy once your off accel. The engine noise is LOUD when you are up accelerating to the 1st and 2nd gear (gear ratios are high). When in cruising speed is pretty quiet compared to other economy cars. The manual transmission was pretty fun but is not that great. When you shift you dont feel that youre at that gear yet. So i might suggest automatic. Finally Kia has brightened their lineup with this. Really impressed.

    The Soul is the fouth kia I have owned and all have been trouble free and well made. The Soul is a unique design inside and out. Its loaded with features you would normally pay for as an option. The ride and interior sound level is excellent. My only upgrade is the 315 watt sterio with sub woofer, lighted speakers and front center speaker, 8 total. I would highly recommend the soul to anyone looking for a mini suv.

    I got my Soul a week ago, and it has really impressed me. I do a lot of city driving and I find the car is comfortable, quick, easy to maneuver, and spacious. My two teenage sons love it. I got the base model, and it is fun to drive.

  • 2010 Soul for Mom - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    We bought the Soul as a 3rd car ( teenager got the older car) for mom to drive. She puts quite a few miles on a car per year so we wanted something w/ decent fuel economy. We chose the Soul over Honda CRV, Toyota Rav4, Kia Sportage & Subaru Forester.

    My gf and I drive the Soul Igntion Edition which is so attention grabbing. I gotta say I have a smile every time I drive it. We drove down to Philly last week and really got to see how great of a car is. We had no issues parking, the cruise control is so easy, gas mileage was superb, sound system is so crisp regardless if your listening to satellite or your Zune. Love the seats and the height. The throttle is so responsive although the brakes are a bit of a learning curve but will stop on a dime in no time. The bluetooth is so cool, it automatically connects you when you enter the car and it downloads all your numbers so all you have to do is press the bluetooth button and say the name!
