Car was a rental while on vacation and fell in love with it. Easy to get in and out of and handled like a dream. Gas mileage was good and car was very quiet. Glad I got a chance to drive it and would definitely consider buying.

This is a really great car for the price point. Remember that this is an entry level economy car. Keeping that criteria in mind and you will not find a better value considering the 10 year warranty. No other manufacturer is standing by that long to keep your car running tops. The one issue I have found is that the fuel mileage is not as good as it should be for a 1.6L 4cyl. Mine is the 6 speed automatic and I average 27-30 mpg with a mix of driving. If you drive really easy and with great care, you can get the average up to 30-33 mpg. That is a lot less than is shown on the sticker. I can still say that it is very nice car for running around town and will hold quite a bit of storage when the seats are folded down. No regrets on this little car so far. I have 40k on it and it is still going great.

No lumbar support and the headrest are leaning forward and are quite annoying and uncomfortable. Otherwise, roomy, easy to get in and out of, ect... Rides well and we are happy so far. It has only been a few weeks, so far so GREAT! March 2018.... Still digging our SOUL!

SOUL POWER

2017 Kia Soul ! 4dr Wagon (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Pleasantly surprised with this little hatch back suv. Traded in my 2004 Dodge Ram ( which I’ll miss but not the fuel mpg ) for the 2017 Kia soul with everything in it. panoramic sunroof. heated seats, heated steering wheel, navigation back, up camera, Harmon Kardon sound( Awesome). this little thing is quick and torquey with its turbo! and spacious ( I’m 6,2 and fit extremely comfortable in it. It’s also great on fuel ( not sure why others complain about fuel economy try fueling a Dodge Ram. Lol) long story short, I find the Kia Soul fun, exciting to drive and cool. Kia has done a wonderful job. Plus I can still get a hitch and light trailer and haul my motorcycles when I need to. Tiny car with big SOUL POWER!!!!
