It has blind spot alerts to assist you when driving on multiple-lane roads, it offers three drive modes (eco to save on gas, sport for faster pickup, and regular). The ride is smooth, and it has heated seats with three levels of heating. Finally, it offers satellite radio capability.
The cons include that it does not have a lot of extra room, so it wouldn't be a good choice for someone with a large family. It also does not offer technology such as self-steering, so there are fewer safety features.
Compact car that provides great gas mileage, and a luxury feel at an affordable price. Lane assist allows for safer driving. Backup camera provides ease with parking and blind spot viewing. Heated seats allow for comfort during the winter and the updated air conditioning keeps you cool in the summer.
Being so low to the ground causes scraps to the undercarriage often when living in the hill country. Unless in sport mode, car will not accelerate as quickly as I would like. Tire sensors will go off of the air is even slightly unbalanced. Car will continually beep until both hands on steering wheel. Can be scary when car puts itself by in the center of the lane. Reverse beeping sensor is slightly late in reaction time.
Compact; easy to drive, inexpensive, good on gas. Family friendly, Roomy still. Lots of life of the car. So I can give it to my kid if I wanted or my sister. It is safe, and reliable car to drive.
Sometimes to small for my household, also would be a to small if I had a few kids to drive around. Does not have a large trunk space either which would be more convenient when making large trips from the grocery store.
It is nice inside and out, smooth drive, very nice updated features to the tech, good on gas mileage, easy to maintain the health of the car, can accelerate pretty nicely after a brief moment, overall reliable with a day to day drive.
Could be better off the initial acceleration of the vehicle, sometimes it skids or takes a long time to accelerate coming off of a complete stop. Also needs to be serviced quite a bit but that is understandable. Could have a better sound system too.
Pros: Great size, lots of legroom in the back seat, heated seats in the front and back, heated steering wheel, Navigation, minimal blind spots, and great gas mileage. Cons: Jerking in stop and go traffic due to double clutch technology, and small trunk space.
This car has very small trunk space making traveling with more than two people or grocery shopping a hassle, takes a while to heat up in the winter, and jerky in stop and go traffic to double clutch technology. I can't really say anything that I do not like.
It rides smoothly. It has good gas mileage and I like the size of the car. It is compact and easy to drive. I also like the service that comes with the car. I haven't any many issues that required service.
Sometimes the car is not great in extreme weather. It will sometimes slide in the snow. Additionally, the seats are not extremely comfortable. I think more cushioning would be helpful. Overall there are not many cons.
The base model is pretty loaded. It has a lot of bells and whistles, even being a base model. It gets good gas mileage and has a good safety rating. It is also very roomy inside. It is easy to fit car seats in. It is a nice looking car.
Everyone has a Kia soul so they are a dime a dozen. But, I guess with good reason. It is not at all sporty and it is the slowest to accelerate. It has a decent blind spot so you should get extra mirror add ons.
Pros very comfortable and affordable seats are cozy and the car is spacious also. The Kia Soul makes a great compact car or subcompact SUV. It has a nice looking exterior and a comfortable and upscale interior. It offers many safety features in the Soul Plus and the Soul Exclaim trim models. The upper trim models also offer great upgrades to technology, connectivity and comfort features.
The Cons. Poor Base Powertrain. The 2019 Kia Soul base engine is neither powerful or fuel efficient. Rear Seating is Somewhat Cramped. The Soul offers seating for five, but the rear seat can seem cramped with three adults. Sparse Standard Safety Features.
