The Kia Soul is cute and fun to drive. Had the transmission serviced at the recommended 60,000 miles. At 104,000 miles, 4000 miles past the warranty expiration, the transmission tore up. $2,200 to replace. Also have to add a quart of oil every 1800 miles as it uses of oil. Oil has been changed at all the recommended intervals.

2011 base manual vs 2015 base manual

This is my 2nd soul. I traded my 2011 in when it began having starting issues at 118,000 mi. I liked it better and now wished I had just put the effort into fixing it. Both are base model manual transmission. Don't get me wrong its still a great car that suits my needs. I'm only averaging 30mpg. My '11 got 34-38 mpg. The cargo space is smaller. The larger tires make chaining up a nightmare (live in the mountains) not enough wheel well room. The only thing it does better than my old one is get up my steep driveway. It cost$4,000 more than my old one. It gets 8mpg less, less cargo. Basically I paid for whole mess of gadgetry that for me I will never use. I am disappointed. Not giving up though. I look forward to an AWD model hopefully in a manual transmission with improved mpg.

I love this car I have 1322 miles on it now I got it with only 2 miles on it even with the 130 horse power engine It does just fine getting out there and going. I have already carried 300 lbs of quickcrete a type of cement mix in the back and it rode great. I also live in ithaca NY its a very hilly town and i have no problems. I originally went to the Kia because I did not like the performance or the sketchy reilability of the CVT transmission everybody is trying to pass off. Except Kia and a few others But what I got was a roomy cool smooth shifting cool vechicle. we are tall people and could not find good back seat space / room in a car under 17000 bucks in any brand. My soul has tons. I still say this car can get out and go. I get great gas mileage even at 60 65 it actually seems to get the best mileage at about 63 mi per hour crazy I know but its actually better there then slower speeds.I still enjoy driving this car and it still gets the cool car comments I think its the Green but the shape kind of has an ageless style to it. It has needed no repairs and runs like the day I bought it it is now nov 2016

Outstanding value in terms of warranty and safety. Love the color options and ability to save some money on gas. One downside is the car is a little loud when accelerating on hills, and you would think with its smaller engine size gas mileage would be better, but it’s definitely something I can live with. Looking forward to buying more Kia Soul’s and passing them down to my kids/grandkids when they have their licenses.

My grandfather always said, "if you don't go into debt you will never have anything." Which is true and false.... However, I went into debt to get this car. I had the Kia Forte before getting this vehicle. I loved my Forte but I needed to get off the ground.. It was terrible. When I purchased the Soul. O.My.Goodness best purchase ever. I do wish the storage in the back was little longer, for suitcases and such. But it works. It's more than I thought it would be.
