  Hi jrw118. Kia is not providing lease support on 2010 models any longer. As a result, if you really want to lease you wold probably be better off going with a newer model. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

  I liked the Soul+ a lot, and probably would've bought one if my dealer had held out any hope of getting one. As it was, the one they had was sold before I was in a position to buy. I drove the Soul!, but my wife hated the ride on the 18" wheels--she became physically ill within sixty seconds. And the ! would've cost $2k more than the +, mostly for ... Read More

  I guess I'm not the only person cross-shopping the Mazda3 and the Kia Soul. I like them because they're both 5-doors. I actually have an '06 Mazda3 5-door now that I still love. But it's a manual transmission and I'm sick of shifting in Atlanta gridlock! I'll probably end up with a 2010 Mazda3 5-door (automatic). As much as I like the look and price/value of the Soul, I don't think ... Read More

  Written by: so_cali on Apr 11, 2009 12:38:29 AM

  Motor Trend rates the xB first between the Kia Soul, the Nissan Cube and the xB. After driving all but the Cube (I think Nissan is floating them here on row boats - how else can you explain why there are taking so l-o-n-g to get to market?), I'd have to agree. The xB drives much nicer. Back to the Cube. How can a car company be so cubeless, er clueless? ... Read More

  Written by: igozoomzoom on Mar 15, 2009 1:16:10 PM

  I'm shocked that I'm even seriously considering buying a Soul, but I'm very impressed with it. The exterior look is fantastic, decent quality materials on the inside. There are just a few details that need some tweaking (and perhaps reason to hold off until the 2011 models arrive....or a 2010.5 perhaps)? The naming scheme is stupid- Base, Plus (+), Exclaim (!) and Sport? They could've at least used punctuation marks for ... Read More

• First drive available!

  Written by: KarenS on Nov 13, 2008 9:41:10 AM

  To fully understand the 2010 Kia Soul, it helps to know a little something about its native land. See, South Korea is a car guy's nightmare. It's not that the cars on its oft-congested roads are crap; it's just that they collectively have all the variety and character of a Joe Lieberman Comedy Hour. 2010 Kia Soul First Drive
