Soul 2 Soul
by Wentworth Mayfield on 12/18/2025 4:21:34 AM
The car is very reliable has all of the options, lane assist, heated seats, cruise control, ambient lighting, navigation, wireless phone charging and more. I was surprised at all the features it has. It feels like your driving an SUV that is larger than it actually is. It actually quicker than I thought. Overall for the price the car has a lot of Soul. - 4.0
2020 KIA Soul
by GiBo on 12/2/2025 2:14:35 AM
I bought this car new. After two thousand miles driven, KIA recalled car. The fix was a new engine as a result of faulty piston rings. KIA replacement engine has not lost oil or given me any mechanical issues. I get an average of 34 MPG. Oil changes done by either KIA, or myself. All oil replaced with synthetic oil as per maker recommendations. - 5.0
Soulful ride!

The handling on this car is insane and I get an average is 30 mpg, 35 highway. If I needed a second car, I would keep this vehicle, but my daughter is now living on campus.
