over all this is a great car it may seam small on the outside but inside it feels roomy. The telescoping wheel is a great feature with my long legs I can sit comfortably with the wheel close to me so my arms are not stretched out straight. My friends have commented on the amount of leg room they have in the back seat as well. the acceleration is a tad slow but with a 1.6 liter engine that should be expected. I opted for the manual transmission by choice, I love shifting on long car rides to help keep me awake. With that being said the shift knob is less than uncomfortable imagine a cue ball mounted on top because that's basically what they give you. The palm of my hand will start to hurt wile I'm stuck in traffic. I have purchased an aftermarket shift knob to replace it. The EPA rated gas mileage at 31 highway, but with good shifting and keeping with the 65mph speed limit I'm getting 34.5 mpg commuting 100 miles round trip to work and back each day. I do very little city driving, the highway is about 2 miles from my house and my work is about 7 miles from the exit so most of the miles I put on the car are true highway miles.

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.

I tell people this is a big car without being a big car! If I put the driver seat all the back, it's actually too far! And people behind me are still comfortable!! I love that I can adjust the gas mileage settings (Eco button) for times when I need to accelerate quickly and times when I'm just cruising. There's plenty of storage space with the rear seats up or down. The stereo system is good, I see no reason to replace it. Can't beat the 10 year powertrain warranty (major reason I wanted Kia). I was between Kia or Hyundai for the 10 year warranty, but the Soul is much better deal at under $20,000 for most models. I love this car. My only complaint is the drag in the acceleration when the AC is on, but that will happen with any car.

I shopped for a new car for 2 years before I bought my 2016 Kia. I knew nothing about it but would ask other owners their thoughts when I saw one. What stood out was the gas mileage. I am an older woman on the go with 5 rental properties so I needed something for fuel economy and roomy enough to haul small items without giving up comfort or paying an outrageous price like a truck. This sporty little car has turned out to be far more than I expected. My son who is 6'2 says he was surprised at the room and comfort. I have not ridden in the back seat so I cant review. I get around 28-32 mpg in the city and if I dont drive above the speed limit I have gotten as high as 36 mpg on the highway. Space wise....I have moved small furniture, large boxes, taken long trips with luggage and large coolers and am shocked how much this car holds. In the two years I have owned it the only repair other than the covered lifetime oil changes I get (a huge plus) was a battery failure which Kia covered under warranty. They only reason I rate the technology a 4 star is I do have problems with the bluetooth sometimes and the phone connecting to hands free but I dont know if that is the car or me the operator. I have never written a car review as I usually bought used cars and drove them until they quit but I am very please with my Kia Soul.

This is the second Kia Soul that I have owned; the first being a 2011 (WHICH I LOVED, but can't drive standard anymore, which is why I had to buy new) I must say; I LOVED my old one, but this one... OMG SO MUCH nicer!!! More features for the base model (which is what I had before and now) MORE power, MORE room, MORE of everything... I am absolutely IMPRESSED with Kia and how much they have grown since the first few hit the market some years back (I owned a 99 Kia Sportage Convertable 4x4) the quality and pricing is SO awesome! I recommend these cars to anyone and everyone and turn non-believers to believers... Our family NOW owns 3 Kia's we are going onto 5 within the next few weeks... A Sorento (moms) Soul (mines) Sportage (my niece and her husband) and another niece who is going for an Optima and one of my sisters is looking at a Sportage for herself... We are TRULY becoming a family of Kia; absolutely LOVE the new Kia's! If you haven't switched; go take a look, a drive, etc and decide then... I give my Soul and A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
