- KIA Soul - a car targeted at young buyers, advertised by hamsters, and bought by a somewhat more mature crowd. The first generation was a breakthrough in the KIA lineup. Is the second generation any better?

awesome reviews Marek. Your straight to the point, honest review of cars helps me decide, even here in Dubai if a model is worth the hype or not.
Great to know! Are you based in Dubai? I used to go to school there ;)
yep i work with a media agency there. cool to connect. cheers.
seems a nice car
Thanks
@creosl, I hope i'll get to test it, if KIA in Poland gets one for the press fleet. EV sales in Poland are around 50-60 cars ANNUALLY (sic!). We don't get any eco incentives, so people prefer to buy diesel station wagons.
Norway got 1200 of the 5000 Evs produced in 2014. They where sold out short time.
what did you do with that poor gear at 3:28?
good car
looks like mini coop
Hi, i followed you and now i'm speaking with a Polish Kia Dealer for 3 cars. Good advice to come and buy them in Poland. It's really cheaper. A lot...
I'm glad I could help. Where're you from?
Marek Drives, i,m from Romania. I really like your reviews, i follow you for some time. I'm undecided anyway between Soul 1.6 GDI XL AT and Sportage 1.6 AT T-Gdi 4x4 GT line. We are 3 friends and we want 3 cars for our wifes. They drive a maximum 5000 km/year and only in urban conditions. The Soul +options is really close price to the Sportage t-gdi Gt line in Romania. But we can choose also Kia Niro, it's hybrid and is very good for urban only. But it's a new car and who knows if Niro is ok and will not have youth problems :)
Rogo Doja I hope I get to drive the Niro early next year. For the city I'd go with a Rio. If you find any, they should be cheap, because KIA is launching a new model. I guess if you want bang for your buck Sportage is the one to go for. Definitely no diesel in the city.
Marek Drives, it's more complex than that. My wife wants a car like a small SUV or crossover, with a higher clearance than usual and with AT. 4x4 is optional. If it has it's ok, it's not a must! Now she drives a 2011 Mini Countryman S All4 automatic with 38000 km and she will not choose a new Rio instead :). We tested a lot of new cars like Suzuki Sx4 S Cross, Suzuki Vitara, Jimny - all have cheap materials, nothing special. H-RV seems lost in the '80's. Nissan Juke well ok, lot of plastics, she likes the car but i said that i will never put my money on it -ugly...:), Qashqai - good car but i' m afraid of the association with Renault - i will never buy a french car. Opel Mokka was not ok as it's small and expensive.Subaru xv has a big petrol engine who eats too much petrol in the city. We looked and she loved Toyota C-HR hybrid but in Romania, with options it will be 29.000 Euro and it's too much and also maybe youth problems for CHR. So, Sportage T-gdi Gt line with xenon is 26000-26500E and feels like the best to buy. Soul full is 25000 here and in Poland is maximum 22.000 euro...
Rogo Doja OK, new Countryman is coming in spring, so you can either buy this generation cheap or wait for the new one to come out. But with KIA pricing I guess it's a no-brainer.
No new KIA Soul 2020 in Poland...
Only e-Soul.
If you can’t tell the difference between flex modes on this car you shouldn’t be reviewing cars.
Not a good review. I’ve driven the top of the range for 4 years and it still stands out even on the road. Plenty power, plenty space
Very pessimistic review. This car is not bad as he say. One of the worst reviews in youtube
