Do your research.......Shop Around.........Have your finance ready before you go in......Be ready to walk if they don't give you what you want for the price. If they don't get back to you or treat you with respect..assume they don't really want your business. I've only had the car a few weeks but I love the ride, it's very comfortable..Lots of bells and whistles to get used too. Remains to be seen what the miles per gallon will be because of stop and go nature of my work. Have not had it out on a long trip or in the snow but handles well in the rain.

Leased 2 Souls first, bought the 3rd. I have always loved modest quirky cars, and this is my all time favorite car - it's perfect for me! I even request it when I have to rent while traveling. It is by far the easiest car to get in and out of. And fully equipped, my ! feels absolutely luxurious. 9/13/18 update: My wife got a CR-V, which is very noisy compared to my Soul. Unless we need the extra cargo area of the Honda, we prefer the Kia.

If You Want Reliability --- Stay Away from These

Actually, I've loved my 2016 Soul Exclaim. It's a nice car, my Exclaim model has every option available from leather seats, navigation, panoramic moon roof, Infinity sound, etc. As far as options go, it's great. As far as reliability goes, it's horrible. I have 40,000 miles, and it's exceptionally well-maintained, but the problem is that it likes to take a lot of rides on tow trucks. Almost been killed 3 times on the Interstate when, out of nowhere, it died, and didn't even have the power to pull over onto the shoulder. Took it in 3 times, and they could find nothing wrong. Finally, on the last tow, they found a bad plug wire. Three times into the dealership....really? Now, I'm driving around having to hold my driver's door closed because it won't latch. Took it in last week, and they don't have the part, so then sent me home, holding my door closed with one hand while I drive. No offer to pay for rental or loaner car, just have to hold the door with one hand. The part is coming in shortly, or so I'm told, so I've been driving around just holding my door closed with a bungee cord. I definitely get looks, heads shaking at me, so it's not a good marketing tactic for Kia when people see a bungee cord holding my door closed on a beautiful looking Soul. Another problem is with the hatch staying open, along with cheap plastic parts falling off of the interior of the hatch. Had hydraulics changed twice. Not poor quality, WORSE THAN POOR QUALITY. When I take it in for service, the manager says they'd love mine for a trade with it's looks, options, and low mileage. Can't afford to trade, and will never have another Kia ... EVER! Stay away from these pieces of crap.

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 :(

This car has it all. I bought it used from a dealership in Dallas Texas. One previous owner. Clear carfax report. Came w/ all service info she had done. Only one smart key, and no spare tire. I've ordered these 2 items online. Comfortable for 4 adults. Lots of room. I'm 6'4" tall. Almost a stretch for me w/ drivers seat all the way back & and still lots of room in the back seat. Has a killer stereo, subscribed to SIRIUS XM radio. A fun car to drive.
