I have had my Kia for little over a year now and love it. No problems with anything. My husband hit a major pot hole and got a huge bubble in the sidewall and had to take to the dealership to get it replaced at no fault of the car. The only other thing I’ve had to do is regular maintenance. Everyone is shocked at the amount of space in it. It is a great on road trips . I would highly recommend this car. Loving the gas mileage.

Don't believe the complaints regarding Android synchronization! My Samsung Galaxy S9 syncs up seamlessly and provides a full extension of my Google home environment. It seriously does EVERYTHING that I ask. There is plenty of room for 4 adults and the noise levels are acceptable. Midrange torque is amazing and in sport mode handling is above average. I get 29 MPG in mixed driving and I am more than satisfied with my purchase. After almost two years and 30,000 miles my Soul! continues to fulfill every need for which it was purchased. While it is not the perfect highway vehicle (I drive my Optima for extended trips) I still have no complaints, no problems, and no regrets. ** UPDATE ** I succumbed to temptation and traded my gray/black Soul Turbo for a 2020 Soul GT-Line. It has a bit more space and a lot more convenience features. They shaed the 1.6L turbo motor and 7-speed transmission so driving the new car is very similar. This is a perfect vehicle for specific professions offering comfort, brisk driving capabilities, and plenty of storage. PLUS - you get Kia's near bullet-proof reliability. A win/win...

We bought the ! (Exclaim) in Wild Orange (Special Edition) that has the 7 speed Turbo. It is equipped with the Tech Package and the panoramic sunroof. It's worth the extra money ($4,000). Certain Youtube professional reviewers said to get the Sunroof and I am glad we did. The sport drive mode makes getting on the expressway a cinch. It has nice pickup and go! Gas mileage comes better than advertised. The seating in this car is very comfortable, especially oolong road trips. We took a road trip of 10 hours each way. My 68year old legs felt great after long day of driving. On prior road trips of driving more than 2 hours in our Camry, my legs would require me to take ibuprofen for the discomfort. The sound system is really good in the Tech upgrade along with an 8" screen. Handling is above average with the wide 18" tires. I really like this car (especially in Wild Orange). Bought new in mid February 2018. Ee have had virtually no issues. We get oil changes at the recommended times (3750 miles) for turbo engines and rotate the tires every other oil change. There are 75,100 miles on the car. We replaced the tires at 49,0000 miles either Continentals. They ride quite well. Also replaced the 50 month old battery. No other issues. We are very satisfied with the car. Our panoramic sunroof stopped working. It needed to have maintenance performed. We paid $200 to be cleaned (track/gear). Works fine now. Also, we had 75K maintenance performed (flush transmission and coolant fluids) and replaced front brakes. Car runs great. Still love it.

(Kia Soul base model, auto, tinted windows, convenience package) I've only had the car for a few weeks but I really love it. Fun to drive, comfortable, good gas mileage, handles great. Very happy.
