This cat does not have get up and go power. Mpg is ok. Resale value is terrible !!!!! Car lost $ 8,000 in value in 7 mo. W/ only 8500 miles on it ! It does not come with spare tire , so rotating your own tires w/ a spareis difficult. All the heat from the floor goes to the back seat & front floor board stays cold.

I would not buy another Kia they do not help you when your car is having problems . I had both catalytic converter replaced and it is still burning oil. Now for every 600 miles I am losing a quart of oil.

The Soul really fits in a garage, is reasonable useful for such a compact wagon. has reasonable power and performance for a compact vehicle. I love mine. Six years old and no problems.

Dislike Kia support. Far right conspiracy. Took no responsibility, gas lit me for their engine destroying 2 catalytic converters in 15,000 miles. Not shopping Kia, honeymoon is over at 90,000 miles
