My vehicle is all black. It still looks shiny from when I bought it 2 years ago.
I love how it rides so smooth. It has that brand new car smell for like a year at least! My Kia soul is all black, the miles are great! I barely have to get gas, and when I do it does not take that much money. I haven't had to put forth much money towards it, it is been lasting me.

Practical, efficient and lots of storage at a fair price point.
Mileage is great, performance is excellent for a vehicle in this range, only qualms are noticeable slipping while operating on wet roads at normal speeds & a definitely higher center of gravity which could put the vehicle at a higher risk for rollover during high speed turns.

Luxury commuter meets night on the town.
I love my Kia soul exclaim! The trim level really incorporates so many features that I find crucial. I love the sports mode and how it really gets up and goes, and I love the leather seats, you deserve that luxury in your next car! The sound system in my Kia soul is also excellent, I feel like I am front row at a concert.

Kia soul: compact but awesome!
It runs really well and cannot even tell the engine is running. Sometimes I forget I even turned it on all ready. It gets great gas mileage and has an eco setting that is wonderful. I love the fact that it is an SUV and is up off the ground. The features inside are great also. Has all the latest technology in a compact utility vehicle.

Red, sporty and fun to drive while providing ample space for luggage.
It is been perfectly reliable, good gas mileage, I love the color and the black interior. Lots of room for groceries and for our dogs, back seats go all the way down flat. Minimal issues with engine or performance so far. It has a really smooth ride and it is comfortable to ride in as a passenger. It is tall enough for my husband to not hit his head while driving.

The Kia soul is a great car.
I like my soul. It's good on gas, very spacious. Very comfortable. Love the backup camera especially if I am having a problem with the blind spots. I also like how the interior is all black. Very good, especially if you got kids that are messy. I would recommend the Kia soul.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled June S.

You do not need to worry about gas. And you also need not to worry about other maintenance including oil change and stuffs. In California, you can use carpool lane by yourself which is big advantage for solo driver.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled June S.

Driving mileage is too short, which means you constantly check the available mile. And it also takes too long to charge fully even with speed charge outlet. Compare to gas station, there are not many public charging stations out there.
