The 22 soul is my second new soul purchase. My fist was a 2013. I drove it trouble free for six years. I traded for a Shortage and drove it for 3 years. It was ok a d trouble free , but I missed the soul. Bought this one 6 months ago and love it. I've now had this Soul for 3 years. no mechanical issues at all. Gets near 40 MPG in combined city/hwy driving. I would purchase another and recommend!

We LOVED our 2013 Soul, so, when our daughter's car quit on her, we gave her our 2013 Soul and purchased a 2021 Soul. A few months and less than 4,000 miles later, the transmission went out when we were driving out of town. Kia Roadside Assistance would only tow to a local (to where the breakdown occurred, not to where we live) dealership for repair. Roadside Assistance said that dealership did not offer "loaner cars" but Kia would reimburse us for car rental. One week and $800 in car rental fees later, the dealership called to say the car had a bad sensor, which they repaired and was finished. We had to drive the rental back out of town to return and pick up our Soul. Headed home, the transmission went out AGAIN. We were close enough to home that the car was towed to a local (to home) dealership for repair. Same issue, but this time, we could not afford to rent another car. Several weeks later, with a new transmission, we pick up our Soul, submit all invoices, bank statements, etc. to Kia for reimbursement. THREE Months later, and we have still not been reimbursed for the cost of the rental. We've called repeatedly, and are told the reimbursement has been approved, but not released. We're done - filing reports with Atty General, FTC and Better Business Bureau today.

When my wife first asked me to look at the Kia Soul I told her that I would never drive something like that. I ended up look at it just to make her feel better and I literally pulled over during the test drive just because I couldn’t wait to tell my salesperson that I want to buy it. I have 3 kids and a wife that can fit into this vehicle comfortably and the car has a lot of get up and go. We even got my dog behind the back seat. I have worked on cars almost my whole life and would buy this car over and over. It is safe to say that we are now a Kia family.

2022 Kia Soul Turbo 4dr Wagon (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Know that this funky boxy hatch has every amenity Kia has to offer except cooled seats. I loved all (3) models I have owned from a 2016 base model with a 1.6L non turbo engine and 6 spd manuel transmission to a 2021 Kia Soul EX. It was definitely the sweet spot but I wanted more I wanted the whole shebang! After almost 12 months I upgraded to the 2022 Kia Soul Turbo, finally the one I wanted most of all. The 1.6L turbo engine gives and keeps giving it to you. The sport tuned suspension, the turbo engine and the 7 speed dual clutch automatic transmission work seamlessly together to get you from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds not bad for a brick on wheels. All the amenities make this the perfect Hiway cruiser for me now that I’m traveling more by car than flying. The steering wheel shifters are handy and precise too. All the safety features inspire confidence along with its class leading warranties. I have the cherry black one with the red trimming inside and out. The dual chrome exhaust tips says sooo much about this little pocket rocket I’m Sold on this vehicle that’s why I call myself The Soul Man. You can’t go wrong with any model of the Kia Soul.

Loving My Lil Soul

2021 Kia Soul GT-Line 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I just got this car brand new the other. I upgraded from a 2017 Kia Forte LX. While the Forte was a great car, even being a base model. What the Forte really did was change my perception about the Kia brand from my one of a bad reputation to something of a brand that is making great changes in the automotive world. The 2021 Kia Soul is enjoyable and fresh. I got the GT-Line, while it’s only sporty in appearance as the engine itself is adequate to accommodate daily driving. The vehicle also pumps out good mpg for a car of its size. I’m rather happy with my purchase and I look forward to what I expect to be a very reliable car.
