It was ok, but I don’t miss it.

The car was reliable. Ok on gas. Be careful of Kias tendency to tell you that you have a + on the sticker but you actually have a base model with some slight upgrades. You think you have a better model than you have. Caused me a huge headache when I went to replace my tires. Ended up ordering the wrong size tires. Go by what is printed on the sticker inside your car door. They depreciate value fast so be prepared and make a good value trade in or big down payment. You’ll be upside down in equity fast if you don’t.

I just bought it

It is comfortable and has so much room on then inside. My dog loves the back seat and how roomy it is. This is my first car with Bluetooth and I am loving the stereo!

Very pleased with our purchase

The Soul will be a great, dependable vehicle for our family. We are pleased with the color and the options. The car rides very nice and has low miles.

Best car I've owned

Great car. I have a niece that owns one, I drove hers and loved it. So when we needed another car we decided to get Soul. But I won't go back to kiefer KIA. Worse customer service ever.

Kia has more room than you think, Great Vehicle

Great car. Runs smoothly. Bigger than you think inside. That is a big plus for me. Keep maintenance up and you will have long life with it. Kia has been taking care of mine. Pleased with service thus far. Great car mileage. This is my second Kia.

Kia's are great cars

In my lifetime, I owned a Kia shortage, and now bought a Soul for my daughter's first car. She loves it. Test drive a Kia you won't regret it. Also great warranty.

Love my Kia Soul

Other than the small scratches I found when I got home everything is perfect. Called salesman he said that wasn’t covered. I thought maybe the warranty would cover that.
