Used 2016 Kia Soul Consumer Reviews
KIA Soul purchase
I purchased KIA soul 2016 and paid $16,300; I received a voucher for $14,395; But when I got to the dealer I ended up paying $2k more. Also I found at home that they charged tax on dealer preparation which was $690 and other licence services which should not have been done. The car is fine, but these additions do bother me. I had the car for almost a year, the car does get 28 miles per gallon, it is functional, the only thing is very week is the air conditioning. It has to be on maximum all the time and barely cols the car.
So glad we chose this one!
Looked at a lot of small cars for ease and comfort of older parents and dog. This was the right choice. Plus it's SUPER fun to drive and sporty!

Great car for its size
The best thing about the Kia Soul is that it is a car where you sit up high like an SUV. There is more than enough space in the cargo area but the ability to lay the back seats down is a great thing. This is not a zoom-zoom car but it is fine for commuting, comfy, decent sound system. Haven't taken any road trips yet but look forward to it.

mixed bag --- the good, the bad, and the ugly
The low profile tires are prone to destruction if you drive into a pothole, and the expensive alloy rim it is mounted on might get damaged too. ____The wiring harness in the engine compartment got abraded, causing an electrical short in the ignition system and abrupt stalling of the engine, which can be very dangerous is some situations.____Upgrading the digital map in the navigation feature of that expensive radio causes loss of all of your saved addresses. There is no work-around or way to save and reinstall the addresses automatically. You get to type all that information into this turkey again._____The car's interior is comfortable. The sun roof works well. The overall ride and handling is good.____The car did well in the crash safety tests.____Luggage space is small. It can hold one large suitcase and nothing else. The backs of the rear seats do fold down, but not totally, so you do not get more horizontal luggage space, but maybe can lean some stuff against the seat backs.____The dealer partially reneged on my discount certificate. I should have just walked out of the dealership at that point and not bought this car. Subsequently, the dealer has been going the extra mile to be helpful to me with a free loaner car for many days, free reapplication of paint protection, etc.

Great Ride at a Great Price!
Solid car, with plenty of features and great looks for a very moderate and reasonable price. It makes sense why you see these cars all over the road.
