I have 2023 soul GT line and I must say I am impressed with it I have owned a lot of cars in my Time from Durango’s to challengers to even the for pinto lol but for the price you can’t beat it! It’s fun to drive plenty of room and comfortable yea the engine could use a little mor pep but it will get out of its own way when needed and highway driving is great pretty much just keep your finger on the wheel and this thing drives it’s self for miles and miles I get around 30 mpg in city and upwards of 35 highway.

I have the Mars Orange which has a lot of red in the paint and doesn't look like a pumpkin. Not a speedster but peppy enough. Sport mode helps. Apple Car play is a good feature for streaming from an iphone. I would have gotten the EX but the dealer who had one was charging 10% over MSRP. No thanks. I bought the cargo floor option which elevates the rear storage and covers all the junk I carry around. It also makes the cargo surface flat when folding down rear seats. Overall a nice handling vehicle at a pretty reasonable price.
Nice little car, but

This is our third Soul. 2015 and 2019 models absolutely trouble free. 2023 is nice too however, we great extremely loud squeal from the brakes when backing up every day for the first time. Dealer claims this is normal, "every car does that." I don't think so, the other 2 didn't, none of the other cars in the family, 4 in all, do it. Anybody else have this happen?

‘23 Soul S is fantastic, except for the headlights

I bought a 2023 Soul S. I wanted the S trim because I’m tall and didn’t want a sunroof. The only complaint I have is the headlights. I drove it at night in the rain, and I was literally driving blind.

Problems with less than 5k miles on it

I have a 2023 Kia Soul with less than 5,000 miles on it. Within a few days of owning the car, I noticed a clunking around under the baseboard driver’s side at every stop sign. Took it in to be serviced and was told something was loose and it has been fixed. Within weeks of owning the car, I was backing out of our driveway, and suddenly my car decides to apply the emergency brakes, make loud noises, and abrupt shaking. Scared the crap out of me. There were no collision risks. I took it in two separate times for the automatic emergency braking malfunction while going 1 mph in reverse, and they told me no issues were detected. This problem still happens from time to time and it still scares the crap out of me. The motion is so jerky, I don’t know how it couldn’t and there are still no collision risks around when it happens. Then the electric controller for idle stop and go oil pump was recalled. This recall is a fire risk and says not to park in your garage or near a building as it can catch fire while vehicle is on or off. I took the car in to have the recall serviced. They confirmed it needs to be serviced but didn’t have the part and would contact me when it came in. A couple of weeks later I took the car back in for the recall and when they were done servicing the vehicle, I drove it home. On the drive home it sounded a bit like a wind-up toy car when I hit the gas. I thought maybe that’s how it was supposed to sound with the fixed oil pump. The next morning I started the car and it made a very loud winding sound like the belts were in overdrive and if I kept it on, something was going to overheat. I turned off the car and will be taking it back in to get serviced, although they might need to come pick it up this time. Prior to the recall, the eco boost feature had worse gas mileage than not using it. I haven’t been using it since the recall notice was delivered. On a positive note, I really like how the car looks and how the interior feels. I am so bummed about the other issues.
