Customer service lacking
I liked my 2017 (new) Soul but it had a bad smell which the service department could not remedy. They would just spray deodorizer on the car and soon it would stink again. They had theories...maybe a dead rat had got inside? But were too busy to remedy the problem and I got rid of the vehicle after only a few months. This was in Santa Rosa CA.
150k no issues
Bought this car with 50k on it, now it has 150k and runs beautifully. No issues outside of regular maintenance its used as a courier vehicle. These little engines like there maintenance but will last forever. Love the soul

Excessive oil consumption
I've had my 2017 Kia Soul+ for five years now. I bought it used from a rental car agency with 30k, now it's got almost 95k. The engine uses about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Kia says anything under one quart per 1000 miles is "normal." It's unacceptable, but at this point I'm inclined to watch the oil & drive this thing until it breaks. I'd never buy another Kia, the engines are nowhere near Honda or Toyota levels of build & quality.
Love My Red Soul +
My Soul is so much fun to drive. It is so big inside but looks so small outside. My Dad is 6'2 and 300 pounds and he fits in the front and in back and is very comfortable. Great fit and finish everything perfect
Great little car.
Dealership unable to repair little things. Took to dealership 5 times for repairs, never did repaired. One time made an appointment, got there to find out THEY did not get the correct parts to make the needed repairs . Drove 34 miles one way and didn't get an apology.

didn't have the features I wanted.
The Soul is pandering to the tastes of a too young crowd. A great many people buying Souls are middle aged and older of which I am one. As an older buyer I want more color choices both interior and exterior, the option of leather seats in brown and saddle tan, all exterior paints metallic, option of a disc player. I don't like "packages", I want to choose every option. Because I live in snow country, I want all wheel drive. The all black interiors are a turn off for me....they show every speck of lint and dirt. What I love about the Soul is the name, the exterior looks, visibility, safety features, available options in the Plus model. I'm at the age where I want a bit of luxury. One more thing, I don't like my cars to sit too low to the ground. I didn't buy the Soul because the dealership was trying to sell me a car that had been sitting on the lot for over a year at the brand new price and that was never going to happen. The insurance was also higher than I wanted to pay but I realize it was because it was a new vehicle with all those electronic features that I would never use. Power seats are a must as well as heated. There are many things and options for a Soul plus that I really love but ultimately it was the cost that was the undoing of the deal for me. I ended up buying a Buick Encore Premium '13 year. I love the luxury features and the brown and tan leather interior combined with the metallic black exterior paint. The cabin is quieter.

Love My New KIA Soul
I recently bought a 2017 KIA Soul and am so happy with it. I was surprised how much room is in it especially in the back when the seats are down. I am always moving things and this will fit lots of things in the back. I really enjoy zipping around town in my KIA. It rides smoothly and I feel like I am driving a race car. The radio sounds great and the seats are comfortable. My son likes the look of it too. I will definitely be recommending this car to my friends and family!
