~23,000 miles - no issues to date and good mileage

Great little car that replaced and bests a totaled Nissan Cube. Driven conservatively (my middle name) I consistently beat the EPA ratings for both city and highway. It was just serviced recently at a Kia dealership and no issues were found during the inspections nor did I report any. For the money I think this is a great little car. Update 2023: All is still well - so glad I got the 1.6 engine and 6 spd auto - no 2.0 engine and CVT issues that I read so much about on newer models. I love driving this little car.

I absolutely love this car!! I have the exclaim, and its loaded with all the extras, including panoramic sunroof. It's so zippy and fun, and looks super cute and sporty. The turbo makes a huge difference!! So far ive only had it a few months, and my only 2 drawbacks are that the tech package doesnt offer EVERYTHING for Android phones that it does for iPhones. For instance, it won't read text messages or allow me to respond. But it would with an iPhone. Also, the seats aren't very comfortable for long distance driving.

So far me and my wife have loved this car!! It gets 30 mpg city for me idk about other areas other then AZ. The few things I don't like are, power I had a built 02 wrx, i was at 450 whp this was a adjustment to say the least as far as a day to day driver I find it just a normal car. Its clean, good on gas, and just a good looking normal car. It gets to speed with barley any lag.

Mileage so so....

Love the style and love the drive. In a day and age of little cars getting 30 mpg and more, my Kia Soul Plus gets exactly what the sticker says: 25 in the city, 27 combined and 30 on the expressway. Wish I could get 33 city like my friend does in her Honda Fit. But couldn't pass up the quirky style. Cutest thing ever won over so so gas mileage...
