  • Snazzy ride - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    The vehicle is noisy on the open road, but handles fairly well. Gas mileage is good. I had a Suzuki Vitara and it is more comfortable and only a few inches lower. My granddaughter loves it and says that it is more comfortable. Nice features.

    In my estimation the Kia Soul is a smart well designed all around versitile fun to drive car. Its Molten Red and its an eye catcher. I really love the machine. Absolutely no complaints,its built well inside and out. Once you drive it you are hooked. My dealer was awesome in helping me with every aspect of buying the Soul. The sound system will blow your socks off. Im getting great mileage 31.5 mpg so far cost to fill at $22.00 Its more value than one would think. Check this puppy out you wont be sorry

  • LOVE, love this car! - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Awesome dependability. Great both in the city with a tight turning radius and on the highway with its peppy acceleration. Great in the crappy weather. The only issue I have ever had is that the paint chips easily. Have had the car for over 6 years, 130,000 miles.... Have spent less than $3000 maintenance. And thats including tires, brakes, oil changes, timing belt and transmission flush.

  • BEST CAR EVER - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I went looking for a new car for me and my dad and i took one look at the soul and fell in love with it. It will be my first car ever and very happy about the low price. VEry comfortable in side and does not make any sound on the highway the people that said it did are crazy. When i got it every girl in my school came and looked at it. they all wanted a ride. Best car for teen and people that want a party car!!

  • Kia Kelly! - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I just bought my Kia Soul a few days ago. Love it! My teens love it, too. It has easy to use controls, lots of features, and fun to drive!! So far it seems to do well on gas mileage, but havent had to fill it up yet. I love the car, but the interior quality isnt great. I would still buy it though. It is a great car for the money. It has lots of room for my tall teenage boys. We love the ipod connector and the lighted speakers. Fun, fun, fun

  • Kia/Hyundai in, Honda and Toyota out - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Incredible value! If youre looking for a car in this category, this car is a must see. There are several other good cars that compete with the Soul sport but, when you factor in price, features, and warranty the Kia always comes out on top. Several months into ownership and not one problem at all. If money is not an issue then the Mini Clubman would be my 1st pick solely based on the vehicle itself. Honda and Toyota did not seem to have the "total" package for under $18k. Chevy HHR was same price but didnt like the way it drives nor the interior. My wife has had a Kia sedona for 5 yrs without any problems (buying a new one next week) so I am impressed with reliability.

  • Not Expected - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Ive had mine for just about 3 weeks now. I LOVE this car. Has about as much room as my Jeep Liberty does in the interior (seating wise). Comfortable seats and driving position. Handles nicely on the interstate and has a little punch to it when needed. The standard features on this model are fantastic. From the 315 watt stereo w/bluetooth to the sunroof and then 18" rims, my Molten (red) Soul garners a lot of attention and keeps them asking questions while at the pump. I havent gotten this much attention in a car since my Crossfire.

  • Love It - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    Ive had my Kia Soul since April and absolutely love it. Ive driven from Toronto to Nfld eastern U.S. and back not one issue. So far has been as reliable as my last Kia (05 Spectra) Ive also discovered that the rear stow and go (being made of hard foam) makes a perfect cooler when traveling. Just throw in some ice packs,drinks and your set or a couple of days!! Very versatile car great in the city and long drives. Hae not experienced any issues with highway noise. Lots of great extras for the price. My only 1 bug is with the Front seatbelts. They release quickly & if not carful will cause small scratches to the plastic on the doors. I know Ill enjoy this car for many years to come.

  • SIMPLY WOW - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I had my heart set on a Mini, and let me just say this car completely surpassed my expectation. Its a Mini on Steroids... I drive 100 miles a day back and forth to work, everyday I find something new about the car that wows me. I was at a light and a Scion xB stopped at the light next to me, the driver looked at the Soul, put his car in reverse to backed up to see what kind of car I was driving. Every where I go, people stop me to ask what kind of car it is and ask what they call the color (Alien). This car is an amazing buy... it is amazing what is in it for the money. Love it, Love it, Love it...

  • I AM IMPRESSED - 2010 Kia Soul
    By -

    I bought this vehicle in August.I just turned 4000 miles.I traded in a 09 Honda Fit for the Soul.I was very unsatisfied with the Fit,it was cheaply made.The Soul grabbed me with its style.It also felt safer,I was accurate with that impression,it just passed the all new 2010 safety IIHS tests with the best ratings in all four categories.The handling is fantastic and safe.There is always a trade off with great handling,a firmer ride.If you do not like a firm ride get the Plus model.It does not have the Sport suspension and 18in low profile tires.I love the red ext and red and black int.I love all the features.I turned on the rear defrost and realized I had heated mirrors also.Stereo rocks.
