I love my Kia soul. It is roomy enough for extra belongings. I would recommend it to a small family or even a single. There’s room for car seats if needed and even small furniture if you were to be out shopping. It is reliable and has not given up on me ever.

It is an awesome car inside and out, from the performance to the details.
Everything about this car I love, from the seats detail to the nice black interior. I enjoy driving it because it is so smooth and it makes you feel secure and safe in the car. The paint details are also my favorite since it is so well done. I also enjoy the active eco feature! It is such a unique feature that I never thought I would like so much.

It is great for road trips because of how much storage space it has.
We've had it for a long time now, so there have been a lot of issues that have popped up over time. After about 6 or so years the steering completely went out and it was a miracle we didn't get in a car wreck. Turning the steering wheel did nothing, it had become completely detached from the wheels. Luckily, we were able to get it fixed, but yeah...

Kia soul 2012, great car!
Great on gas mileage. Great for people with back issues to get in and out easy. Not a lot of trunk space. Great sound system in the car. Very comfortable and reliable. It has great safety features. A lot of air bags throughout the car. Great for a family of 3. Especially if you travel a lot and take vacations.

Alien green is easy to find in the parking lot.
It is reliable. Goes well in the snow. Easy to handle. Easy to park. Interior is bigger than it looks. The warranty is awesome. Replaced the engine and the warranty covered it. Good gas mileage. Cool color. Alien green. It is small for an SUV but is roomy inside.

Kia soul 2012, nice features, comfortable ride, dependable and easy to drive.
Vehicle has had some normal problems like needing brakes and tires with age. Currently has a front axle leak that needs replaced. Performance is fairly good, it drives well and gets me from a to b. I have driven a lot of miles in the years I have owned this car and have had a good experience on major highways and going high speeds. This car is reliable in performance and can hold a lot of equipment. Storage space is quite large for the car looking small. The Kia soul is a comfortable drive and the seats are comfortable as well. It does not go from 0 to 90 in seconds it takes its time gaining speed which I am okay with, it feels fairly safe for being top heavy according to the safety features one must be careful making sharp turns. My soul is not overloaded with features but with the features it does have I am happy with them, CD player, Bluetooth, aux imports, automatic windows and locks.

I love my 2012 silver Kia soul.
My car is amazing. I have never had any technical difficulties. The gas mileage is great and the interior is comfortable. The rink and backseat are very roomy to be a smaller SUV. The car drives well and the safety features are nice. The only issue I have had is the window not rolling down immediately but will after a few minutes.
Caroline S

I love my Kia soul 2012 base automatic.
It is my first car and I am in love with it. I have the car for 2 years now. They have a incredible price. It is a good compact car, easy to work on, rides smoothly. It makes a really reasonable economy average mpg. The truck is not that big but fits a lot of thing very well. All my things that I use to work fits there. I highly recommended this vehicle.
Jag B
on May 26, 2021
The Kia soul for campers and hikers.
It is a nice car with great gas mileage, the square interior gives more space than you expect. It will do some rough terrain I have taken it into the mountains for camping but stuck to gravel roads. It handles well with a tight turn radius but is prone to tipping at higher speeds so have to be careful on some back roads. It is only front wheel drive and cannot tow much which is inconvenient. We have a four hundred pound trailer that it will tow but anything bigger than that and it is to much for it.

Red 2013 Kia soul- perfect for new drivers!
I absolutely love my car! It is a good size -not too big not too small- and it is perfect for people who are shorter. I wouldn't recommend this car to someone who is on the taller side. It runs smooth, it only costs me about $20 to fill my gas tank and it has Bluetooth so I can connect my music to my car and I can take phone calls hands free. The back seats also go down to make more room in the trunk which is very helpful. All in all, this car is a great investment. Would highly recommend!
Elizabeth S
on May 4, 2021
Love the Kia soul! I would recommend and would buy again.
I love the size of my car and the turn radius. The gas mileage is also good but my tank is small so I feel like I am at the gas station a lot. But I do feel like the gas mileage is really good and I am happy with that. The steering wheel makes a clicking noise and sometimes it is tough for my car to get up to speed on the interstate. Overall I really love it but those are the few things that I wish were a bit different. I do also love the Bluetooth capabilities for music and phone calls. Also I am able to lay down the seats in the back and haul some things, like a desk or when I am moving from place to place. It is also very roomy for four grown adults to ride in.
Tyler C
on May 2, 2021
2012 Kia soul is amazing!
All it has needed is regular maintenance and a new gas cap. Very good riding vehicle that handles well in different weather. Speakers are amazing and radio picks up very well. Very fuel efficient and does not cost much to fill up at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Xavier F
on May 1, 2021
It takes very little money to feel up the gas and it is a comfortable car.
My Kia soul is probably one of the best cars for beginner drivers. It is really good on gas and the gas can last about 340 miles. It doesn't take a lot of maintenance as from what I've noticed. It rides very smoothly and is very comfortable. Many people look at a Kia and say no because it looks small but overall it's very compact and can hold a lot. The speaker system in the car is not lacking either. It's very loud and it's very fun to drive with.
Amanda F
on April 30, 2021
The sound system is awesome & the multicolor lighting around the speakers is rad.
Frequent electrical issues, mostly minor but we often replace brake light bulbs just for the replacement to stop working a week later. We also successfully replaced the crankshaft position sensor after having the tachometer drop to zero on the road. The issue happened about 20 times before we replaced the sensor. Not had the issue since replacement. Shocks seem stiff, that is considerably more noticeable sitting in the back seat.
Celeste C
on April 27, 2021
The high rating of a Kia soul.
Great gas mileage. Spacious. Box type car but good sized dashboard. Easy to clean and vacuum. Good family car with a very spacious trunk. Easy to change parts and easy to fix. Kia is a very reliable brand and super easy to control and handle. Superior safety ratings.

My Kia soul review summary
My Kia soul is a reliable vehicle that can handle a lot of situations. I have had it since high school and drove it about 700 miles a couple times a month during college. It is got plenty of space-the backseat has more legroom than the passenger seat and a good amount of storage, too. I usually keep some extra clothes, towels, and dog stuff in the storage area in the trunk, above the spare tire and that is been really useful a couple of times.
Alessia O
on April 20, 2021
Has lights around the speakers that play to the music.
Vehicle has no problems. Has about 90,000 miles on it for a 2012. Has its original brake pads that are in good condition. Saves a lot of gas in the city and on highways. Contains a sunroof, and a backup camera. My car also provides a hitch to pull trailers.
Am A
on April 17, 2021
It is a good car to have if your just starting a family.
It's good to drive around where you live but not to go on trips especially if your going to go up hills. It tends to lag. My most common problem with it is that my transmission coils have to be changed most often. But I love that other than that it is reliable.
Lena S
on April 11, 2021
Pretty red with black interior.
It is reliable, I had it for 8 years, did not have major problems. It is compact and very good for urban environment. It looks good and easy to maneuver. I also love my red color with black interior. It is also very comfortable. I am thinking about similar car again.
George T
on April 8, 2021
My car a sound system that changes colors to the beat of the radio.
The main issue with the 2012 Kia soul is the small gas tank, the front end shocks are not brisk enough for the vehicle, you need snow tires in the winter, the back storage space is small and narrow, and the engine needs to be more powerful. Furthermore, the front and back lights need to be brighter as well as the fog lights.
Lisa O
on April 7, 2021
Needs more charging ports.
Love the car overall, it has been very dependable. My only complaint is that there is only 1 place in the entire car to charge electronics! This vehicle is compact, but roomy. Drives well. Good size storage in behind the back seats. It's got a small motor, but not small on get up and go. As a driver all the knobs and buttons are easily within reach.
William K
on March 24, 2021
Great car! Buy the car!:).
A deceivingly small car, has plenty of comfort and storage space, easy to drive and gets the job done. Turns are tight and good brakes. Easy to clean, and has great gas mileage, runs forever with low maintenance, she’s just a good reliable car for anyone.
Averi F
on March 23, 2021
The wonderful things of a Kia soul.
I absolutely love the Kia soul. The turning radius of the car is fantastic and it almost eliminates 3 point turns. I have had no problems with my car since getting it 2 years ago. The seats are comfortable which is great since I drive for 4 to 5 hours sometimes and I am never sore. The backup camera is a nice bonus as well as eco mode.
Cameron H
on March 18, 2021
Great car and reliable as well
No issues other normal wear and tear. Small oil leak currently but getting looked at soon. Comfy for size and sunroof is nice for driving in nice weather. Satellite radio is nice for long trips. Bluetooth is nice for hands free calling. Good gas mileage

Driving high in my little Kia soul.
Great ergonomics. Reliable performance. Comfortable. Easily seats four adults and the heater and air-conditioner are excellent. One issue: the wheels ate very small and the car has not good traction. The soul handles easily and the hatchback is a plus.
Dana C
on March 17, 2021
Amazing Kia soul sports edition.
Its small easy to use Bluetooth very reliable has a driving shift gear. Could go really fast if I want it to because it's a Kia sport tinted windows and smooth driving. Had a extra wheel in the back in case one of my tires go out it's a donut so that's a cool feature. And some of my car lights up in the dark.
louise T
on March 14, 2021
Kia soul 2012. Okay but not perfect.
This car has been surprisingly reliable with no engine, transmission, or other larger issues. The gas mileage is disappointing and the interior is cheap and starting to peel off door panels and knobs. However, for the price this car has served me well and I would generally recommend it.
kat D
on March 12, 2021
The origami car: small outside that folds up inside to make it big inside.
I love the alien green color, it is one of the reasons I have not traded it in. You cannot get that color anymore. The Kia is the perfect size to fit in a compact car spot but everything folds in up inside so you can haul a bunch of stuff like a minivan without having to be annoying like a minivan. It is also a right height vehicle so you do not have to climb up or slouch down to get in it.
Kathy A
on March 9, 2021
The Price was Right. Gets great gas mileage. Seats 5 and has great storage.
This little vehicle is very comfortable. It drives smoothly. Got the big motor, so for a little car, it has pick me up. Gets great gas mileage. Would buy again when it's time to get a new vehicle.
Toni L
on March 8, 2021
The vehicle gets great gas mileage.
I drive a standard vehicle and it gets excellent gas mileage and has never had any issues. The only complaint I have is that the USB port has never worked. I bought the car brand new and plan to drive it as my main vehicle so long as it lasts. The air conditioning is still in great condition as is the heat. It has never overheated or not started up. It is surprisingly spacious and has plenary of room for a family of four.
Linda W
on March 7, 2021
The 3.1 engine is a great dependable engine I haven't had any issues.
Like that gets good gas mileage. Do not have any complaints. It is easy to drive & easy to park. Has enough room for four or five adults to be comfortable.
George T
on March 6, 2021
The features and options on the vehicle including the surround sound.
This vehicle is very low cost on maintenance and high on performance and features. It is good in the winter with snow tires and provides excellent gas mileage year round. There have been no major repairs needed and the resale value has held it owns. I highly recommend as a year round primary vehicle.
Miguel C
on March 6, 2021
Kia soul is a great car..
The a/c does not work sometimes. The paint is starting to peel off too soon. The gas mileage is great and it is an overall not bad car. I would definitely keep this car and continue to upgrade it how I can. It is a pretty reliable car for how fast I found it.
Kathleen V
on March 2, 2021
Family friendly. Style and comfort.
Looks great. Drives well. Good on gas. Roomy and comfortable for family of four. Low maintenance. Besides normal wear and tear the only thing I have had to replace is the battery. Then only complaints I have is the truck area could be more spacious and it would be perfect if it had four wheel drive. It really does not do to well in snow.
Madeleine L
on March 2, 2021
I really enjoy the light up speakers.
This car is not great in snow. It does not have all wheel drive, making it very slippery in winter. I do, however, love everything else about the car.
Connie D

My Kia Soul, is the Soul in me!
Ride great, good on gas. I take care of elderly people. And it's easy for them to get in and out of the Soul. It is not to low to the ground and not too high off the ground. It has a lot of room for traveling as well. It take 30 dollars to full it up. And I really got good mileage. Never had a problem and had it for 4yrs its still under 60, 000 miles. Eco, fully load it.
Lauren B
on March 1, 2021
Reliable, easy to drive Kia soul.
I have 140,000 miles on my Kia soul, and have had zero problems with it so far. It has been a really good car. It is big enough to have lots of space, but small enough to be easy to park. My main complaint would be that the trunk is really small, but if you fold the back seats down, you have tons of space.
George B
on February 28, 2021
Groovy little car, attention getter.
I have 120, 000 miles on this car, it has been absolutely trouble free, and is very comfortable on long trips. The air conditioning always blows cold, and consistently gets 30 plus miles to the gallon on the highway. If I were to have any complaints, it would be that it is short on cargo space.
Roxanne R

How great Kia Soul's are for new drivers.
The car I own is a Kia Soul. It is a wonderful car because it has just the right amount of space. I packed for college and I could fit everything I needed into it easily. The fabric on the sheets are very well made and do not tear or fade. The gas mileage is great. I can fill up my tank of gas and still stay under budget for the month.
Kevin M
on February 23, 2021
Kia soul is a reliable and fun car to drive.
This is a very dependable vehicle with very little issues. The gas mileage is great also. The items that have need done were minor and/or covered by recall. It is also a very easy car to maintain. It only takes about 3-4 quarts of oil. This is a vehicle that I would purchase a newer model when the time comes.
Corey C
on February 22, 2021
It has comfortable seating. The speakers are ok. The windows are nice.
I think the car handles good. It has a lot of room. You can 33 miles to the gallon. It could have better brakes and more trunk space. It sounds like it is dying if you try to speed up too fast. I wish the inside had more options for the radio. It has no mirrors on the visors.
Debi N
on February 17, 2021
Fun and dependable vehicle to drive.
I have only had 1 problem with my car. It the door locks quit working and I was very concerned about the repair, but I repaired it myself it was only a blown fuse. It has been very dependable and fun to drive. I have taken it on multiple trips and it has done well. It is roomy and we get great gas mileage.
Brianna F

2012 Kia soul! Alien green. The speakers light up and dance with the music.
It is sporty and fun to drive. You can park and get out easily anywhere. We have never had to do anything major to it, just regular maintenance, battery, new tires and brakes once. We take it on long trips, it is very comfortable and roomy. We love that the speakers light up when the radio is on and we love the GPS.
Kristen B

Dependable, great gas mileage, roomy and easy to handle on the road.
I have not had any problems with my Kia soul, the price was right for this car. It is a very dependable car, very spacious and roomy, great gas mileage for my business and easy to drive on the road. The downfall is that the paint peels off of the inside of the car, door, radio knob. I know it is an older car, but it has been doing it for years.
Taylor G
on February 13, 2021
Great car, bad electrical.
My car is really nice for road trips it is roomy even though it is a small car. Plus it's great to fit in any tight city parking while still allowing room. Overall a great car. However there seems to be a problem with the electrical system because it goes through break and headlights very often burning out the bulb within a month.
Tonya N
on February 10, 2021
Let’s buy a soul for your soul!
Kia soul is reliable. Small SUV. You can haul 5 adults comfortably. Comes equipped with a backup camera and CD player. Has Sirius XM built in. If you like to take long trips this is the car for you. The seats are comfortable and does not make you hurt from sitting too long.
Hannah S
on February 10, 2021
The vehicle is very roomy.
Vehicle handling is still very good, the paint is still not scratched, the air conditioning still works. The storage is very good, feels very roomy and I can fit a lot of people in the car. The car looks very good and it is very easy to find in a parking lot.
Fred M
on February 8, 2021
It's reliable (so far) and is repairable according to my non-dealer mechanic.
It's a very comfortable to drive. It handles really well. Last car was a saab 9.5 And the Kia out performs it. Only small concern is a lag between stepping on it and the response. It's easy to get in and out, and cargo space is adequately such a small car. Mileage is over 25 mpg.
Alma B
on February 7, 2021

Ecoboost is amazing! It helps saves a lot since my boyfriend works 45 min away.
I haven't had any issues with my Soul. It's so great as a family car for us. I do have a large stroller that is hard to fit. However, the seat collapses if I need it to so it's no big deal. I would definitely recommend it! We also love the ecoboost feature. It saves a good bit on gas!

Value car A joy to own, a joy to ride in and a good value
It has sirius, and calculates trip mileage. It also has electric windows and safety measures for children, self locking doors. Large front windshield. I have owned the car for three years and no wear on the outside of the car, no rust. Its has a pretty light green color with sparkles thru it, so an upbeat color that younger people would like. Reliability has been fantastic, no problems as yet, so I would highly recommend this Kia Soul to anyone looking for a good reliable car and a good value...
Dave G
on January 28, 2021
Longevity and mileage: what more do you need.
The comfort level is diminished. At 124,000 the car runs great with no mechanical. Issues. Fuel mileage is great and above what was expected. The car has maintained longevity. I would recommend the brand to anyone. I look forward to purchasing another vehicle from this brand in the very near future.
Tyler W
on January 27, 2021
It is super easy to drive and park.
I have had it for awhile now it still runs really well. It was my first car I have over 100,000 miles on it. It is super easy to drive and I enjoy it but I have also started to put grow it and I am wanting to upgrade to a new car hopefully it is a really good car.
Brandy C

I've experienced no major problems or performance issues with my 2012 Kia Soul. Very good gas mileage. Comfortable for daily commute to work & long distance driving.
Michael C
on January 25, 2021
Not the hippest car, but good daily functional transportation
I like that it has a lot of room inside for a small car. Taller Adults have no problems fitting comfortably in the car. It would be better if the from passenger seat folded all the way down to increase storage space.
Pat E
on January 25, 2021
Reliable, dependable and fun to drive.
Have not had any issues or problems since I bought this car brand new 6 years ago other than needing to purchase new tires. It is very reliable and dependable no matter what the weather or road conditions. My daughter loves it so much she bought the same car.
Laura O
on January 25, 2021
The color of my Kia soul is called “alien green”.
The Kia soul is very durable and drives very smoothly. To fill an entire tank is less than $30. There is a lot of room and space for groceries, packing for vacations and Honda my son's car seat very nicely. I love the color selections of the car. The only issue I had was that I need to get snow tires every winter due to not having four wheel drive. I would purchase this car again if I had the choice.
Madi C
on January 23, 2021
A car I recommend to anyone buying for the first time!
Never had any issues with this car other than some fault Bluetooth connection, which just happens randomly and fixes by turning the car off and back on. When purchased, the brakes were bad but that is an easy fix. Sometimes when driving in heavy rain I get the tire tread light on, but otherwise I love it.
Michelle W
on January 23, 2021
Overall great car all around.
It is a very roomy car for one so small. It gets amazing gas mileage and I do not have maintenance issues aside from your everyday upkeep stuff. It has a huge storage space in the back as well. We bought the car so that we could fit my mother in laws wheelchair in it and it fits great with plenty more room to boot. It is a great car all around.
Flavia B
on January 22, 2021
It feels safe due to Its box like structure.
I love my Kia soul. I feel extremely safe in it. There is also plenty of space in it. I used my car to move from state to state and it was able to fit a lot of my belongings.
Gretchen S
on January 16, 2021
That. Even though it is small - I feel safe it in. Plenty of room and great gas mileage
Small but enough room to put two dog cages in back seat. Great gas mileage. Would buy another one again.
La V
on January 15, 2021
I call it the toaster oven, because it looks like one on wheels.
It gets me to where I need to go. I wish I had better gas mileage. For a small car I am able to haul a lot of stuff in my car. I love the Bluetooth feature, and that I do not have to plug my phone in. The car can be a bit slow to speed up, but then again I am aware that this is not a race car. It is a dependable car though.
Jme G
on January 15, 2021
2012 Kia soul - great car pricey repairs.
I really enjoy my Kia soul. However, the maintenance on this car at times can be very pricey. For example, a part behind the steering column was only $5, however it cost well over $500 to fix the piece. Another example there are two plastic pieces one near the two front doors that break easily. Each piece cost roughly $150 not counting the labor to have the part installed.
Kelly A
on January 14, 2021
Kia soul is a good car for the money.
The car is very reliable, but of course, a little small. So if you have a stroller, or plan to, that is really all that could fit in the trunk space. But the small size is helpful with parking. The car is good on gas, but same, with a smaller capacity gas tank, if you are a driver, you will need to fill up often.
Jackie F
on January 13, 2021
Reliability of a Kia soul.
My 2012 Kia soul has been a great car. It does well on miles per gallon. It is very comfortable to drive and spacious enough for what I need it for. It has been very low maintenance. I have had little to no problems. I do not have anything extra just the basics. Kia overall is great and I it will be first choice for my next car.
Emma Q
on January 12, 2021
It gets amazing mileage for a full tank, and the price of a full tank is a lot less than expected.
I absolutely love the gas mileage that I get. I also enjoy the price for filling up my tank.
Savannah G

My little box car is made for smaller families.
My cars space is very limited, when having 2 kids and 2 car seats I do not have room for anything. I can barely fit groceries in the car. My car also has guzzles, the highest mileage I get is about 20 mpg. I would most definitely want to upgrade to an SUV so I can move around easier.
Shannon T
on January 11, 2021
Red Kia soul, a very dependable vehicle.
My Kia soul has been a very reliable and good vehicle, it gets very good gas mileage and it drives very well. I have had it for two years and I would buy another one. It has 126000 miles on it and it has not had any major problems with it. I would recommend it to anyone.
Joshua B
on January 10, 2021
If you want a tough and long lasting vehicle Kia soul is your choice.
Honestly my car has been through alot and when I mean a lot I mean a lot. And no matter the situation my Kia was in, it found a way out and no matter how much of a havoc I put my vehicle through it is still holding up and it's been 8 years now. I love this vehicle.
Randy S
on January 2, 2021
Kia soul - do not judge by its cover.
Very comfortable and nice to handle. Steering feels good and can accelerate pretty quickly. Has a sports more for stick lovers. Plenty of legroom, good ac, Bluetooth compatibility, good radio range. Could use more cup holders: 2 front middle, 2 in the back in the doors.
Karen H
on December 30, 2020
This is great purchase for a road traveler.
I own a 2012 Kia soul. The small frame of this vehicle is great and easy to drive. Gives great mileage. I drove this vehicle long distance and could cover 390 miles in one tank. It is affordable compare to other similar products and comes with a great warranty. The only issued that I have experienced was with the ac system which had to be fully replaced.
Penny S
on December 30, 2020
Kia soul - good looking, fun to drive and plenty of cargo space.
I love my Kia soul! It is fun to drive. I like the rear image screen for backing up safely. It has been very reliable. It is a 2012, has 60,000 miles and I have only had to do basic maintenance, tires, oils change etc. I did have one issue with the CD player that would not eject the CD, but it was easily fixed. My Kia is easy on gas, handles well and has great storage in the back. I find it comfortable on long rides and love the Kia upholstery. I have plenty of room for my long legs. The air conditioning and heater are sufficient. There is plenty of console storage, and storage in the dash as well. The only complaint I would have is I have to turn off the eco boost when I am on the highway, because it effects the engines ability to increase speed quickly. It causes a delay.
Michelle W
on December 29, 2020
Small car but room interior.
For such a small car I am amazed at the amount of room there is. Especially in the rear! Plus, it is amazing on gas. You really cannot beat it. I also haven't had any real problems with it outside of the normal maintenance issues. It is an overall pretty great car and meets all our family’s needs.
Benjamin H
on December 29, 2020
The lights on the inside are amazing when the go to the music.
There is nothing wrong with this car. This car is amazing. I has great bass, the lights when you turn on the music it goes to the music. Good gas mileage. Great car to have a family when driving it around town. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone who has a family of 4 to 5.

Lots of features in an economical package.
This has been an incredibly reliable, comfortable driving car with a lot of features. I didn't expect this much room, leather seats or any of the electronics that come on the exclaim package. My favorite is the Siriusxm satellite radio, but a close second this time of year are the heated seat.

The trunk door is flat and is not too big.
I have noticed that my tire becomes flat more often than not. Although the car is small I have also noticed that the car takes a lot of gas as well. Whenever I am driving for a longer period of time that is when my tires usually give out. I have not have an accident in the car which is good. The car also does not have a lot of legroom which I know could be a dealbreaker for most car buyers.

This is the best compact car ever.
No problem. Everything is going good and up to date. It is the best car dealership ever. This was the greatest decision I ever made in my life. The reason why I wanted to go get my car is to get my money up and keep succeeding. I will continue to strive for greatness.

2012 Kia Soul is a dream!
I love my Kia. It is much roomier than you would think. Great gas mileage. Sleek design inside and out. And built very well. My car has been hit twice while parked and had far less damage than the vehicle that hit it. The only thing I dislike is the back hatch. The way the tail lights are makes it hard for a large opening to fit things in the back.

It is good on gas mileage.
I do not like the tires, interior is cheap, do not like the rims. Keys are cheaply made. Burns oil, can turn over easily. Good on gas mileage.

It's compact but has lots of room inside, small enough to park easily and gets good gas mileage.
I love the Kia Soul. It is sporty, yet safe. It's the perfect compact SUV for me.

It has great mileage for those long distance runs and it is very spacious.
The performance is great and I really like how it has great mileage. I drive a long distance usually so this is an important feature. It is very comfortable to me but others may not like it if they are above average height. I haven't experienced any problems so far with the car.

Storage space in truck great.
Good on gas great on space but constant issues with rotors and brakes. Everytime I go to start driving it grinds and squeals for about 5 mins. Do not know if it is just mine or if all is like that. Everyone I have taken it too say my tutors and brakes look fine.

The compact car that has soul.
It is a great city car, but not so great family car. . It does not have a lot a room for groceries or any other items you’d go shop for. . Pros; . Safe, reliable transportation, good on gas, enough space for 1 car seat, good speakers, back up camera, looks nice. Cons; Not at car for a growing family, says it is got a tipping hazard when you god high speeds when it is windy out, not a good car for roadtrips, does not have enough space for family shopping. Also you will not be able to fit more than two standard size suitcases in the hatchback.

It has around 114,500 miles on her so she’s been loved for quite some time now.
My vehicle is a hand-me-down from my older sister. It runs pretty smoothly but is just a bit old. It has a few paint chips on the hood of the car and on the steering wheel. The steering wheel shakes on the highway when you drive around 70 mph. She’s not a new model, but she gets the job done!

Nice small car with space inside and handy features.
Very good overall vehicle. Not too big, but still has space inside. For example, I can put 8 foot lumber in it with the hatch closed (it has to go on top of the passenger seat but it works for me). I am fairly tall, so I wish it had an inch or two more leg room for the driver, but it is a minor inconvenience. The back seats are good for kids, but putting four adults in it for a long trip might be a bit of a squeeze, especially if your driver and front passenger are tall. Since I drive alone it works well for me. The back has a good amount of cargo space and the seats fold down easily to give you plenty of space for almost anything. The car is efficient; I almost always get at least 30 miles per gallon. It also handles very well. I live in an area with lots of snow and as long as I have good tires I have never had trouble controlling the vehicle. It is also small enough with a tight turning radius to navigate tight quarters. I went with a manual transmission so I do not have cruise control. That is the main thing I miss. Also the stock entertainment center works directly with my iPod (with a Kia cable and an apple branded adaptor for lightning connection) so I can listen to what I want on the road.

I want to see you in a Kia with all the bells and whistles.
There is not a lot of engine power, but the gas mileage is great! If you have the opportunity to get a turbo... Do! However, it is more spacious than one would imagine and it is a cute style. The Bluetooth makes it easy to handsfree. Do not get the base, get all the bells and whistles, it is worth it!

2012 Kia soul review — two thumbs up!
Easily the most reliable car I have driven! Very comfortable and spacious, and next to no problems when it comes to maintenance. The only major work I have had to do was replace my tires and get a brakes tune-up, and that was after 6 years/past the 100,000 mile mark. I’ll probably buy this model again when it is time to look for a new vehicle.

Kia Soul is a nice roomy car.
The Kia Soul is a very small, but roomy automobile. Gas mileage is excellent. Comfortable to ride and or drive. I am able to fit quite a bit of my supplies in the car and still have room for 2 people to ride comfortably. No negatives as far as I can tell up to this point.

Amazing first car really good quality.
My car for the most part is in excellent shape. I've had it for so long and it still runs amazing. I've been through a lot in that car I am surprised it lasted this long. Definitely recommend this car for anyone who is looking to get a Kia soul. Best car ever.

It is very accommodating for 8 people.
I like the size for the money. Have trouble finding parts as my car ages. Hope to have it for 4 more years.

Soul - small on the outside, big on the inside!
The thing I like most about this car is that it is very roomy on the inside, while being very compact on the outside. I can go to the feed store and haul everything I need and still enjoy the ease of handling in tight spaces. I like the soul’s rather funky looks and it is nice looking and comfortable interior. Mechanically, it has held up rather well over the years for a less expensive car. All in all, it is been a good car that I have enjoyed owning and driving!

I would buy another Kia Soul.
Do not regret the purchase of a Kia Soul, it has proven to be a reliable vehicle with excellent gas mileage and so far no mechanical problems. It has had regular oil changes. Have been able to fit large items in the back seat/cargo area without a problem. There are 2 problems that come to mind, there is a blind spot at the left and right rear to the sides of the back window which can make backing out of parking spaces difficult and the vehicle tends to slide under wet or icy road conditions even at slow speeds( below 20 mph).
