We own a 2022 Soul GT Line in Neptune Blue with the red accent stripe. We've had it over 2 years and it's performance is still excellent despite our many trips. We're getting close to 30,000 miles on it now. The paint is still vibrant and shiny Blue and on a recent trip we still averaged between 38 and 40 MPG on the highway, better than advertised ! The vehicle is comfortable, great radio with Serious XM, Ice Cold air and an outstanding heater which we've used. I have no complaints about it at all, and would recommend one to anyone wanting a great, Dependable and comfortable vehicle. The car is sneaky quick lol and very agile. It has more room in it than you may expect and can hold 3 adults in the rear seat.

Been buying Kias (Fortes and Souls) for the last several years after Honda got too pricey. Bought the LX Soul new a months ago (first new car ever after 40 yrs of driving, got a great deal...couldn't resist) ; traded in my beloved 2016 Soul + w/ over 100k. This car is a nice improvement over my '16 in several ways except a few complaints. The CVT transmission is fine...seamless between gears. Apparently they've fixed the glitch with trans problems. For a 2.0 liter, power is fine. (Folks, if you want more power, get a Stinger.) Ride & handling is VG, better than my '16. There's some road noise but not intrusive for this price range. Gas mileage is better than my '16 and respectable...33 mph average. On the down side, the "idle stop and go" feature is annoying. You have to manually switch it off each time you start the car. I've rectified this by pushing the button to turn it off, and then while it's pushed in, slipping in a toothpick into the skinny seam between the buttons. Hasn't fallen out yet after a month! The other thing is that this LX model is NOT Sirius SM ready. I had to buy Sirius's portable unit and affix it to the dash vent. Make sure you get the Onyx Plus model that gives you the capability to tune to an unused FM channel for sound. Which brings me to my other complaint. No aux input jack (I still love my CDs but no way to play them thru my portable into the car speakers). I've been told more and more cars have done away with this. Too bad. The seats grab you a bit on the seat edges...my '16 was a bit more comfy. And I'm average build guy, not overweight. Could be because it's new. Otherwise.. this is a fine vehicle and worth checking out. Love the color..."Mars Orange." Don't let that scare you. More of a muted "cloudy" red. Great color. Not as bright as the red.

So disappointed and aggravated. Looking online, I believe it's the transmission, will know Monday. No loaner car provided by Kia dealership as of yet. Scary drive on the highway, acceleration just stops. Please be careful if you already bought a 2021 Soul.

un responsive when driving up in hills in the sport shifter mode, that's the only complaint. The sport shifter mode works well on the highways. I Think they offer it 2.5 Liter engine
Love this car

This is my 1st SOUL after driving 3 BMW's and 3 Mercedes. I have been driving now for 2 months and love this car. The EX model has everything I need. The car drives really well. The information system blows away what BMW offered. It has decent power and the sport mode works well. Heated seats work great. I knew it had little trunk space and I am fine with that. I am very happy with my EX.
