Have had my Kia for a year now. Still enjoy it quite a bit. Good looks, milegat (26+), no problem of any type. Now, my main problem is the ride. With the large tires, the Soul rides like a truck over rough or unevern roads. Further, there is no cushioning on the center storage bin or window ledges or arm rest. But, still overall a great small car!!
Kia Soul!

I purchased my Soul! about a week ago and it has been nothing but fun. Already have 517 miles on it! The car is fun to drive, I am getting 26.5 MPG. I would say that is with 75% city driving and 25% highway. I live in South Florida, the A/C is always freezing. Plenty of space for hauling plans for work. Great car for the money! People need to understand it is a $16,000 car, not $40,000. Expect a little road noise and imperfections. I used to have a Nissan Armada with all of the bells and whistles, but I would trade that for this car any day. Much more fun to drive! Will post another review in a month to see if I feel the same way!
Not without its compromises

My wife really wanted a Kia Soul, so after a few days of research, we headed down to the Kia dealership. My other car is a MkV Volkswagen GTI, so my standards for the Soul were pretty high. The exterior styling is great, only complaint being the fake fender vents. The interior is attractive, roomy, and extremely well screwed together, but the materials are hard and cheap plastic. Handles well, but straight line acceleration is just acceptable. Not spirited but it keeps up with traffic well enough. The thermostat got stuck open at 700 miles, tripping the check engine light. Car was fixed same-day under warranty, which is all I could ask. Fun to drive despite lack of power.
Great Car

I was always weary of Kia, but I found myself needing a cheap-ish car ASAP and decided to take a chance. Bought a 2010 Soul 4u (which I think is the ! trim in the US?) from a Kia dealer on an “as-is” sale in January 2021 with 154,000 km (~96,000 mi) on the odometer. Put a bit of work into it like brakes, control arms, and a serpentine belt and it has treated me like gold ever since. I also put a new set of tires on it. I drove 1500 km from Ontario to Nova Scotia (and then back again) with absolutely no problems. It handles well and has enough pep to make city commutes a breeze. Passing power on the highway is a little less than ideal, but it is a 12 year old car with a 2.0 engine. Fuel economy is not the best, thanks to its tall/boxy shape and 4 speed auto transmission (wonder if the 5 speed manual would make any difference). Holds a ton of stuff with the seats folded down. Body is not perfect, but has held up surprisingly well for spending 12 years in a climate with cold winters and salty roads - better than a lot of other cars in the same age bracket I’ve seen. Bottom line, if you can find one of these for a good deal that has been maintained, I say go for it. Cheap to insure, cheap to fix. Would probably make a great first car.

Not a good MPG

When we love the looks and the fun ride, the reason why we got it was: 1) the roomy back (which is very good compared to others) 2) the miles-per- gallon (MPG). We are yet to see the advertised 26 or higher. We are lucky if we get close to 24. In addition to front seat is way too stiff. This is definitely a city commuter and nothing more. Yes, a fun ride, but a bit uncomfortable and not as economic as promised (in the city). Not to be negative, but more of a reality check. The glare on the front glass is very uncomfortable. The light brown reflects the entire dash into the front window. I have seen this in other small cars I have rented. Sound system? Back speakers are NOT good at all.
