I recently bought a lightly used 2017 Soul EX Tech, which is the fully loaded Canadian model (but without the turbo engine). I also looked at small SUVs like the Toyota Rav4, the Honda HR-V, Kia Sportage, BMW X1 & the Mini Countryman. The Soul is more compact on the outside the any of these, but still feels as roomy on the inside. The panoramic sunroof is a really nice feature - especially in the winter - making the car feel bright & spacious, even in the back seats. Full range of electronic options: heated steering wheel, heated & cooled front seats, heated rear seats, Harmon Kardon stereo system, large GPS/ multi-function screen, blind spot monitoring, lane assist etc. The BMW & Mini did not have have some of these in a car costing $10,000 - $15,000 more. Performance is adequate, seating is firm, but comfortable, visibility is superb, gas mileage not great, but acceptable, cargo space is good for such a small vehicle. Recommended for anyone looking for a versatile, well-equipped, functional, roomy & distinctive small vehicle.

Nice Car For It’s Value

I bought the plus model and I got to say it’s a great little car. However, I really wanted some of the other features I was looking for which it didn’t have. Also the gas mileage is bad for its class but overall it’s a good car to have. Everywhere I go I get great feedback for mines. So I can’t be mad really. Just wish the gas would be a little bit better.

Was a great vehicle, fun to drive, until I hit about 80,000 and the engine catastrophically failed for no apparent reason. Highly don’t recommend unless you want to be stranded without a vehicle. I would give it and Kia 0 stars if I could. They don’t deserve 1. Please research before you buy a Kia or a Hyundai. This isn’t a one off thing. Thousands of people are in the same boat as I am.
