Had soul for only 6 months 6000 miles
By davsmith | on Thursday, November 30, 2017
1-My son is 6ft7in, He fits fine in the soul, 2-Door upholstery cleans with free whips from Publics, 3-Seat comfort & adjustments are good, 4-Clearance off the ground - ie. some cars hit the curb when parking, 5-Has sporty tight suspension, handles well on roads, 6-Could have better gas milage=wife only drives automatic. 7-Last but not least: price under 20k. Wished I could add built-in rearview monitor on the base model. It is easy to get in and out of, is peppy enough to pass if needed, drives 85mph, has plenty of room, tight enough handling and VERY comfortable. Easy to park. Has blind spots on both rear sides. The bright color is easy for others to see. We all love this car every time we get in it!… - 5.0

4 cylinder engine replacement required
By Kate | on Saturday, February 20, 2021

The value of which was nearly $7000 and something that regularly happens in Kia's 4 cylinder model vehicles. The repair is done and the car runs beautifully now. However, I am ready to move on and never go back to a kia again.…
