  • Scion Beater - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Had my Soul+ manual tranny for 7 months now. Love it....zero defects. Put 4 people in it and it rides like a Caddy. Great fun to drive, reminds me of a Fiat, as it has its own personality, (unlike Toyota), but with good reliability. Have yet to find a KIA owner that has had problems with their car. Was in traffic today with a Scion. Scion was nice, but looked at the dash...OMG that central speedo...reminded me why I didnt buy an XB.

  • Love my Soul!!! - 2010 Kia Soul

    I love my soul. It is fun to drive; from the gas station to the grocery store, people are always asking me about it. Can fit 2 kids in back comfortably, 3 small ones if necessary. Being a smaller person (only 5 feet tall), it is very comfortable. Love the bluetooth and the hand controls. It is quiet and reasonably priced for a city driver.

    first I was skeptical about the whole buy a KIA thing but when i sat inside it I thought I was in a Honda or Toyota then i looked at the price and realized that i was inside the KIA Soul. Great ride handling really cool designed interior and next generation type features I got the auto soul ! and the best warranty ive ever seen.

  • SOUL IS THE BEST - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I never thought I would write a review on a car, but I must say that I would recommend this car to ANYONE! I was a little afraid of how it would handle in bad weather and got stuck in BAD weather last night and the car handled better than any car I have ever owned. (about 30 different cars). Even next to MACK trucks in horrible rain, this little car was truly AMAZING and you would have never known it was such bad weather! I really do love this car and I am so happy with my choice to get it!

  • Best car Ive owned - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Fun and roomy car with lots of features for the money. The Plus with 16" wheels rides a little better than the larger wheels with low profile tires. This is a great little car to drive. Seating is great. Cargo area with rear seats down is very good. A very safe car for the money. I would buy this one again with not a thought.

  • Gotta Love IT - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    When I went looking for a car I was in the market for used. My husband and I saw the Soul and my husband feel in love. It was new so I was a little leary but he talked me into it. I it has awesome features and it is great value for the price. I have driven other new cars that have had very cheap interior. The Souls interior may be cheap but it is much nicer than some of the other new makes I have test drove. I think that the performance is also up to par with the price. It is not luxury but it is nicer enough. This is a perfect car to release with the current economical situation. Just remember that you are buying a KIA not a BMW.

    I own the base, On the highway I can easily hit 37MPG. Great car, have to love getting a vehicle for under 13K

  • Big enough for the Big Guys - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    When I first saw the Soul, i loved the appearance of the vehicle, but i was also concerned as i fail to fit in most Kias and i assumed this would be the case again. I test drove one and found that there was plenty of space for a big guy who loves being a big guy...as a 64" 415 lb ex-linebacker, fitment is a challenge for most cars, but since i drive over 20000 miles a year economy is a must. So far gas mileage is good at 28 mpg, considering i set my cruise on 72mph with the windows down and the sunroof open. This is my third Kia and the engines are always very tight for the first 12000 miles, after that they loosen up and the gas mileage gets even better. its a great little car.

  • Fun to Own - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    This is my first "foreign car"; Ive been waiting three years for Chevrolet or someone to make a fun car that I wanted to buy and they didnt build one so when I saw the Soul I decided to buy. I have the molten sport with 18" wheels and I really like it. I get as many comments on the Soul as I get when I drive my Mustang Convertable. It is roomy and comfortable. Really like the Bluetooth and steering wheel controls. Ive had it about a month and havent filled the tank yet so cant comment on the fuel economy. I really like this car in every way and recommend it without reservation.
