Great Bang For The Buck

This car is a great value for the money. When Kia introduced this car, they seemed to be marketing it toward the younger crowd, but most of them I see on the road are driven by more mature folks, like myself. The reasons are simple: ease of entry, upright driving position, good headroom, comfortable seats, lots of standard features (even in the base model,) decent acceleration, decent gas mileage, decent cargo area, the ability to carry a large cargo load with the rear seats folded, the ability to easily install a roof rack, and the handy, large tailgate. Sure, it's an a no-nonsense econobox, and it certainly isn't flashy, but if it's an economical, comfortable, practical car, (that's fun to drive,) with a good warranty, that you're looking for, this may be your ticket. After a 2+ years of driving, my only complaint with this car has been in the quality of the seat material. The fabric began showing some wear on the side of the driver's seat, where I enter. The dealer has since remedied the problem, and installed new covers on the seat. Aside from this, the vehicle has continued to be quite superior, and exactly meets my needs.

(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.

Why did I wait so long?

I was in need of another Scion, however the company stopped making them. I went to a Kia dealer and he gave me the keys to a car parked near the office and said to try it with a test run. I did for 10 minutes and knew that this was. I returned to the office and said, 'let's do it.' I paid cash for the car, the price was great and I am truly satisfied. As good as and much better than my Scion XB, I am glad I bought the Kia Soul.

I've purchased 3, but won't purchase another.

I have purchased three kia souls and absolutely love this car. However, the 2018 model I just purchased cannot sinc with my android phone as apparently kia made a deal with apple, and it only sincs with the i phone. This causes me much difficulty as I cannot make verbal commands to call people when I need to call them. Very disappointing, and will stop me from purchasing another one, as I have to pull over to make phone calls, or risk my and others safety to look at my phone. Very disappointed!
