Ok so here is the deal at this point I have over 12000 miles on the car. I bought it in Jan 2013. I knew about some of the bad things like bad blind spot at the rear of the car and the MPG not so great but there are more bad starting to show up like the following: 1. It is noise like crazy when it rains you can hear the rain on top of the car. It sounds like you are in a tin can. 2. The road noise is bad with the windows down but even worse with them up. 3. The paint is starting to chip in some places. 4. The wippers leave a streak in the middle of the drivers side and KIA wont fix it and says the work fine. Bottom line dont get one
tremendously disappointed

2013 Kia Soul ! 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Ironically I had a kia soul plus, one that I got in 2010 and I had no complaints with it. I had a wreck in December of 2012 and had to get another car. I chose to upgrade and get another soul exclaim, premium package. BIG MISTAKE!! It is an extremely bumpy ride and my kia plus wasn't like that so I was confused by this!!! The leather seats are so hard I had to get a cushion to place on the seats. Whenever I clean my seats or sit on them, lent is always left on them. No matter what I do, lent is always left!!!! Plus i have nothing but problems with the Bluetooth!! The mpg is acceptable I guess and the wheel turns nicely. Those are the redeeming qualities. ALL in all i'm disappointed.

In 2016 I bought a 2013 Soul ! that was a one owner vehicle with low mileage. Shortly after purchasing it with only 30,000 miles on it I had to replace the coil packs, spark plugs, battery, brakes, and tires. At 40,000 miles I had to replace the brakes again and front struts and rear shocks. I also noticed that the engine burned about a quart of oil per month. At 50,000 miles I had to replace tie rod ends, stabilizer end links, brakes again, and another set of coil packs and spark plugs. Now losing about a quart of antifreeze every month and a quart and a half of oil. between 50,000 miles and 87,000 miles it needed O2 sensors, more brakes, rotors front and rear, ball joints, headlight bulbs, turn signal bulbs, brake lights, interior lights, stereo and speaker service along with a few other things. Fast forward to May of 2025 and it broke down in the middle of nowhere with a flashing check engine light and P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304 codes. We had to sleep overnight in a shady hotel. In the daylight luckily there was an auto parts store a quarter mile down the road where I was able to get new plugs, a couple of quarts of oil, antifreeze, and some mass air flow cleaner. All four plugs were fouled out again with oil and before it stopped there was technicolor smoke coming out the exhaust. I cleaned out the cylinders and installed the new plugs filled it back up with oil and antifreeze and the radiator clearly had oil in it. So the head gasket was shot. I was able to drive it home slowly and made it to a dealership where I promptly traded it in on another one owner car but definitely never buying another Kia. Oh and did I mention that the passenger side window would roll down, but not up from the drivers switch only the passenger switch, and the paint (Alien Green) completely faded to a light grey, about 4 years ago. About the only good think I can say about the Soul is the transmission never gave me any problems.

I don’t like sedans, but then big SUVs are too big. The Soul is simple and roomy, easy to transport large items..
