The cost of this vehicle is reasonable, and it seems to hold much of its value, even into 2020. Even in ECO mode, using fewer cylinders, the car has plenty of power and zip. Just the right size for my switch out of a minivan. Trim and appointments are nice. Definitely worth the price!

These little buckets of awesomeness are truly the most versatile vehicles I have ever owned. In fact, when I traded in 2012 model, I got another new and improved one. Fun to drive, more room inside than one would think; I drove my first one cross country with a 4x8 Uhaul trailer attached to it. Fantastic little beasts!

Cute green lawn ornament

Within a few days of buying my brand new 2015 Soul, I was driving down the road and it stalled as I was driving. It started back up again after I turned it off and tried to start it again but it was dangerous and scary. I was lucky not to be on a highway when this happened. I took it into Kia. Of course they could find nothing wrong. Then in 2021 I noticed my car was using too much oil so I took it in again Kia could find nothing wrong. At this point I was on my useless 2500 extra warranty I paid for. In 2021 it also stalled again in the winter after one of Texas’s rare ice storms and again luckily I was not on a highway and it started up again. Now to today. I kept making sure it has oil all fluids are ok. My engine starts acting up and losing power this time on a highway with no warning. Barely made it to an exit. Car died in a parking lot. Had it towed. My neighbor hooked a machine up to it to find out what issues it has. Said it was having engine misfires. Ok changed spark plugs and could packs. Car still not working. Engine knocking, shaking and check engine light blinking. Had a mechanic with forty years experience look at it his comment to me “ this car has a lot of issues”. My key fob stopped locking the doors the car was off the headlights were turned off but lights are still on and blinking finally had to disconnect battery to make them go off. This car is 7 years old. This car should not have had these issues and especially issues that could have resulted in an accident or death if it had happened at another place or time on the road. I will not buy another one. A cute lawn ornament was not what I wanted when I paid so much for a brand new car. Nor would I trust a Kia mechanic to find what is wrong we’re I to take any car to them to look at and repair. From what I read now this year was not good for Kia but I cannot see taking a chance on another one. So now I am car shopping again hoping this would last like they claim they should or even like my other makes have but not this one. Not a good investment.

I am the owner of a 2015 Kia Soul that I purchased several years back with 33,000 miles. During the ownership of this car I have received no recalls nor made aware of any until taking my car to my mechanic. My mechanic had to drive it as it showed no warning lights on dash nor showed on diagnostics. He shows me recalls on my car and stated i was driving a death trap so I call Kia and they will tow it to a different state but WILL NOT provide me with a loaner. I find that funny due to reading that KIA has a fleet of vehicles to provide loaners when owners cars are being fixed due to recalls. I assume that applies to others than myself. Anyway Im stuck with no vehicle unless i drive a 2015 Kia Death Trap. I drive a Kia,do you think i can afford a rental. One dealership in Illinois told me they have KIA RECALLS backed up for 2-3 MONTHS. Maybe Kia can explain how an old man, on a fixed income, that bragged on their cars to others, can afford to rent a car for 2-3 months
