I love my Soul!

Ok, so it's cute and funky and a blast to drive. I can park it anywhere; it turns like a ballerina. Its steering is super comfortable and easy. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and flawlessly. Earlier this year I bought this brand new leftover 2016 ! model for $16k. And today I learned that it can plow through 10 inches of snow with no problem! What's not to love?!

Great Vehicle, just needs a bit more cargo space

Loved the ease with which you could enter and exit the car. Never had any problems with it for the 3+ years I owned it. Wasn't the smoothest riding car, but wasn't like you were in a go-cart either. Plenty of room for adult back-seat passengers. Very comfortable driver's seat. My only complaint was the lack of cargo area with the seats up (not enough room for golf clubs), which is what lead me to replace it with the Kia Seltos, which I came across completely by accident while waiting at the dealership for my Soul to be serviced. The Soul is darned easy to parallel park too.

More room than you think. Great head and shoulder room. Great visibility. Not a problem in 3 years. Moved up and bought another KIA.
