  2014 Kia Soul, my third Soul! - 2014 Kia Soul
  By fhgardner - July 21 - 6:23 pm

  This is my third Soul, having purchased 2011 and 2013 Exclaim models (I still own the 2013 Exclaim model), and they keep getting better and better! Budgetary limitations forced me to purchase the Base A/T model this time. Have had it for 10 days and 400 miles and it is a dream! The redesign of the chassis/frame and the suspension system has resulted in a much quieter soother riding car with a stiffness that is screaming "quality!". Time will tell if my impressions will last, but if the 2013 and 2011 models are any guide, Im in for another pleasurable ownership period!!!

  A neat machine - 2014 Kia Soul
  By Thomas - February 21 - 8:42 pm

  I traded a Lincoln Town car for a 2010 Soul! I was tired of a large, bulky vehicle and decided it was time to "downsize" into something simple, clean and easy to maneuver. I drove it until the 2014 models came out and found many changes had been added since 2010. The navigation system is the best I have ever seen in a car. The radio audio quality is super and the handling is fine. Plenty of room in the rear for whatever you are hauling and, I will never own another car without the backup camera. It has saved me a few times from "bumping" into things that do not need to be bumped. I will buy a 2018 when they come out. It is an amazing car for the value and my dealership (Sunset KIA in Venice, FL) is beyond all in customer satisfaction.

  Good value for the money - 2014 Kia Soul
  By CMR - January 23 - 12:11 pm

  I,was coming out of a toyota rav4 lease in March and due to a back problem I still needed a car that was easy to get into and out of. My friend suggested a KIA SOUL he was right. I visited my local dealer and drove a 2014 soul. Much to my surprise the seat was more comfortable then may RAV 4. Also the soul has a better fell. On the down side it needs better pick up for merging with traffic. Great second car for the money. So far no complaints.

  Loving IT! - 2014 Kia Soul
  By Derek - December 17 - 1:37 am

  What a great little car. I got the base model with the 6 speed manual transmission. The shifting is easy and the clutch engages nicely. I love the "hill holder" feature - car doesnt roll on a hill while you get going from a dead stop. There have been a couple of minor recalls on my car which the dealer has taken care of. Other than those, NOTHING has gone wrong with this car in 43,000 miles. The good is the gas mileage, I average about 35 miles per gallon. About half of my driving is under nearly ideal conditions for mileage, but the other half is stop and go. The bad is I have the 1.6 liter engine, just enough to keep up with traffic, but not much power to spare. The other weak point is when backing up, the rear visibility is not that good. The cabin is quiet at all speeds, the seats and ride are firm, but comfortable and the cornering and braking are great. Overall I would buy this car again. The low price, the long warranty (which I have not needed at all) and the quality make this car a winner.

  Exceeding expectations! - 2014 Kia Soul
  By Margarets Dad - September 12 - 1:51 pm

  I bought my 2014 Soul with 32,000 miles on it and have driven it almost 1,000 miles, and it really is a remarkable car. If youre looking for a small car, you cant do any better than this. I live in Brooklyn, and finding parking is a major issue for me, so the shorter the car the better. The Soul is only 163" long, just 4" longer than the 2009 Hyundai Accent I traded in, and 3" longer than the Honda Fit. But the amount of room inside is incredible. The back seat is limousine-like, so theres no problem carrying four 6-foot adults in comfort. Theres even a generous amount of room behind the rear seat--enough for at least four good-sized duffel bags--as well as a large, deep tray under the rear cargo area for carrying all kinds of other stuff. Instrumentation and controls on the base model are intuitive and straightforward. And its fun to drive! Others have complained about a lack of power in the base model, but I havent found that at all. Theres more than enough power for doing whatever you need the car to do in everyday driving. And Ive been getting fantastic mileage: about 36 mpg in mixed driving on the highway, in the city, and along country roads. (Thats calculated by hand, not going by the on-board mpg calculator, which is usually about 2-3 mpg high.) Honestly, I dont understand why the mpg ratings for this car are so low and how it is that so many other reviewers are getting mpgs in the mid-20s. I dont drive like Mario Andretti, but I sure dont drive like a granny either, and mpg has exceeded my expectations by a longshot.

  Fun little car - 2014 Kia Soul
  By Stephen Gannon - August 7 - 4:09 am

  Our 2014 Kia soul is a plus model with 18" wheels and sorry red accents. Its fun to drive and head more room that one we of expect, especially when the rear seats are down. My diameter loves the car so- home run. We purchased this from carvana and cant say enough good things about their service a d how easy it is to buy a car from them. Im a big fan and will certainly but from them again.

  My Stylish Little Economizer!! - 2014 Kia Soul
  By Alphonso - June 4 - 8:50 am

  WOW!! I didnt expect this when I bought it used! Comfortable, quiet, convenient, safe, capable and fun, fun, fun!! The 1.6L engine had me fooled! Its acceleration is decent, not overwhelming. I get respectable mileage and very good handling! All things considered, Im almost blown away that this vehicle presents! With Bluetooth and XM, Im happy that Kia seemed to really, really have the consumer in mind! Thanks, Kia! I would definitely buy again!

  So fun - 2014 Kia Soul
  By Daisy - April 24 - 2:07 pm

  This car surprises everyone that sees it, when I tell people I have a Kia their reaction is " Ewww a Kia!? " But when they get in it, they say " I cant believe its a Kia " I love everything about this car except the resale value, which is like giving the car away for free right after you drive it. Driving this car is fun yet elegant, its smooth and spacious even though it looks like a small toy from the outside. Ive had this car almost 2 years and I still smile when I walk up to it :)
