Do you think a 3 yr old vehicle should need 4 wheel brake pads and rotors replaced at less than 19000 miles??? I don’t but apparently Kia thinks this is normal. I purchased this car new thinking that Kia had overcome its reputation for poor quality. I have now learned the hard way that this is not true.
Worst mistake ever

2017 kia soul 65,000 mile engine needs replaced. Only 4 yrs old, well maintained. With no warning engine stalls, I was on freeway. Now after research, I find this happens a lot and no recall has been issued. So plan on buying another engine yourself. 10/26/2021

Absolutely loved my soul. One of the best running cars I have ever had until it stopped running. At 66,000 miles the engine destroyed itself with absolutely no warning and left me stranded 60 miles from home. Unfortunately due to this I will never purchase another Kia vehicle.

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

I've always liked the Kia Souls but never got one because I felt they were under powered. Enter the 2017 Kia Soul ! and its 1.6L turbo engine. The engine isn't the problem with this car. The problem is that it is only available on the Exclaim model and the Exclaim has added and subtracted a few things. They've added a red strip that goes around the bottom of the exterior and gave the interior Leather/cloth seats with orange stitching. They didn't make the Soul a race car by any means, they just added an engine that gave it enough power not to feel like you had to floor it everywhere you went. So why would they make it like a kids toy and add stupid little things like that? On to the list of things that are gone. The front cooled seats are no longer an option and the heated front seats are still there but now only have 2 heat settings instead of 3. Those items are still available on the Soul +. So instead of getting the Soul ! that used to be the top trim level you're getting a Soul ! that isn't even fully loaded. Still, it is a great car Kia just needs to figure out their color schemes and option availability.

Have had my car since 2017. Taken it on a 4000 round trip, and drive about 150 miles per day. The seats are pretty comfy, I’m over 6’5 and have almost no complaints. I have a 2 year old and his car seat does fit snug, but that is expected for any car that isn’t an SUV. Handles like an SUV but has some sport to it. Fuel usage is my biggest issue. Go anything over 60 mph and expect for mpg to drop drastically. You really have to baby the gas peddle to get anywhere near 30. I also drive an Altima and get 35 mpg, for comparison. Safety features are not the best, but if you want just a car without all the extras you shouldn’t mind. Love mine and hoping to trade it in for a new 2020.
