People are interested in how the Kia looks inside BC if it's unique style.
The Kia Soul E is good on gas, it's compact, easy to park, unique look and it's low monthly payments. It is also simple to use with a simple interface inside, easy change from eco to sports mode and it seats comfortable 5 people despite its compact size.

Roomy, good gas mileage, great trunk space.
It is very roomy, easy to get in and out of. It performs well and gets good gas mileage. It has a roomy hatchback and comfortable interior. I can connect my cell phone to the speakers making a call hands free. It seems to have good take off and acceleration power.

Safe and reliable. Good looking.
Very good looking. Good space. Built-in GPS and navigation system. Can use android play to connect my phone. 27 to 31 mpg. Had it for two years and absolutely no issues. I keep it well maintained so it should last for a very long time. It is very comfortable for 5 passengers total.

Kia soul for the win unless needing more space.
I do not believe there are any problems with the performance, comfort or reliability in a Kia soul. It runs great and has a great turning radius. My only complaint is that there is not enough room in it. Not enough back seat leg room, trunk space or storage. And there's no air conditioning vents in the back.

It's the 2017 Kia soul model ev and she's a beauty.
The Kia soul model ev runs really smooth and is good on gas. You can take long trips in this car and it is spacious. I haven't had any problems with this car and it's an older model. I really like the interior of the car and how easy it is to park the car into smaller spaces.
