Overall Consumer Review Rating
for the Kia Soul

The best of all worlds.

By Jack Van Dyk written on 07-13-2016

Rides higher than the Honda Civic we owned. Accelerates about as good. Seats are very comfortable. Good interior space (for the appearance of size). I like the rear mirror and window visibility (front & side, also) best of all. The key to the Soul is to purchase the Plus or Exclaim model. The engine in the Base is a real under-performer. We paid more to get the bigger engine . . . and so glad for it!! (My only complaint is a 'Check Engine' light that sporadically keeps popping on. The Dealership can't identify any underlying problem. They just keep turning it off when I bring it in for servicing. Go figure.)

Good for seniors

The Soul is the right size for me. I have arthritis, getting in and out of the Soul is easy. Just the right height! Chevy, Ford and Chrysler should take notice. Older people sometimes need a vehicle that sits a little higher off the ground. It make it a little more comfortable to get in and out. There's nothing out there in this price range of $17,000.

Fun car and a great value!

I shopped for a Soul a year ago and ended up buying a Honda Civic instead. No knock on the Civic, but it just wasn't the right car for me, and I found myself still looking. I came back around to the Soul. Kia had special financing, and the dealer was offering a better deal than I could find a year ago, so I took the plunge and bought the 2016 Soul+ with the Audio/Nav package. Wow! I'm so glad I bought it! I love the extra driving height and extra headroom. There's more room in the back seat. There's more cargo room. It's fun to drive. Acceleration is good with the 2.0 liter engine. Handling is good. Pro reviewers talk about "numb" steering but I don't notice it. It drives and handles fine. That said, it's not a sports car so don't buy this if that's what you want. It has lots of creature comforts like a great audio system that thumps you in the chest if you want it to, but can be tamed if desired. The nav system works well. I didn't think I wanted it, but now that I have it I use it often. I like the climate control system. I have it set and never need to touch it. It keeps the cabin comfortable no matter what the outside temp is. It has a large touch screen that is easy to use and pretty intuitive. You can check Kia's site for a full breakdown of features. For me the important thing is the features it has all work together to create a fun and comfortable driving experience. I've only had it a month so I can't comment on long term durability, but so far there's not a squeak, not a rattle, everything works flawlessly, and the materials and workmanship are first rate, especially for a vehicle in this price range. A+ for the Soul! Update May, 2018: After 2 1/2 years this Soul+ still looks and runs like new. No squeaks or rattles, the interior and exterior still look like new (except for a scrape on rear bumper from a hit & run in a parking lot - not even a note - very classy) and it starts and runs perfectly. The build quality is outstanding! I highly recommend the Soul+ to anyone who's looking. I'll update again in a couple more years!

I'd never even considered a Kia Soul !

I bought my Kia Soul ! about a month ago. My wife has always driven larger SUVs and I've driven a 4-door Pickup truck for the past 10-years. I fully expected the Soul to have sluggish pickup and I expected to be bounced around like in any lightweight economy vehicle. Let me tell you, this car is comfortable, it has plenty of pep (2.0L) and is fun to drive. I'm particularly pleased with the quality of the materials and workmanship in the car. Plus this Soul! has more electronics than I have ever had in my previous luxury vehicles. I was so impressed that I purchased the extended bumper-to-bumper warranty which I have never done before. I had driven my pickup for 10-years and if my impressions prove correct, I'll be driving this just as long.

This little car is amazing

I was looking for a Honda CR-Vibrations but decided to get the Kia Soul. No regrets. - The best infotainment in the market. - 10 way power - very comfortable - heated and cooled front seats. Heated rear seats. - Cooled glovebox - Panoramic moonroof. Spectacular! - Best warranty 10 years - Great design. Unique. - Smooth ride - Easy to get in and out
