My "Soul" mate!

I was tired of the low seating of sports cars and sedans. Driving my Soul feels like a small SUV, solid, smooth, quiet, roomy, no blind spots. Love it!

I've owned 13 cars, everything from a mustang to an accord and I've never been so happy with a car as I've been with my 2014 Kia Soul Exclaim/w shebang package. This car has everything you could ever need... Comfort, style, sound system, huge sunroof, safety, and smooth, quiet ride. I tell people this is the only car I wouldn't change. Recently a group of teeneagers ended my love affair with my soul, by plowing into me and destroying it but even then I loved it because as huge of an accident as it was, the car stayed in one piece and all my passengers were perfectly safe. I wish they still made it exactly like mine because I wanted another one just like it and wasn't able to find it anywhere in the U.S...This model represents such fun and happiness. Peace hamsters ;) Now I guess I will have to "settle" for something else :(

I have the base model. The resale value sucks. The cargo area is smaller than you would think. I've had some snow related issues but think they are related to the lack of power rather than something with the car itself. Kia leads you to believe that they are the only ones who can service your car. It's not a bad little car but it needs more get up and go.

Kia Soul+ Versatile, Quick, Comfort, Safe, Fun

2016 Kia Soul + 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Our new Black 2016 Kia Soul+ is a truly modern car, with 21st century technology, comfort fitting seats, excellent workmanship, and a lot more pep than you might expect. This car is not only great to look at, and it is a real nifty ride, and a dream to park. Premier Kia in Branford took care of everything, making this the most satisfying buying experience yet. Entrance and exit are easy and the large headroom make the this Soul+ a favorite of the over 60 crowd, as we don't bend as well as we used to. So far everybody loves it. and I do too.
