    Your vids are so great not just because of your high knowledge level and nice personality. but because if something is sub-par, you make KIA wince and say it! Kudos.

    Not only do the seat bottoms warm up (as the symbol suggests), but so do the lower portion of the seat BACKS! Nice for folks with back issues.

    Hi folks, I own one of the first Kia Soul Sport sold in Denver, I bought it May 01 '09 with 8 miles on it. As an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Air Force, being on disability has been a real challenge. As such, my Soul has never had any of the scheduled maintenance done, as I simply could never afford it. But 11 yrs 7 months later, with only changing the oil every 3000 miles, the ONE thing I can count on in my life, is my Soul. It had yet to have problem 1 mechanically, although the cat.conv. has just quit. With 85000 miles, I have never, in 45 years of driving, owned a better car than this one! I've owned cars I paid almost double what I paidf for this Soul, NONE have been better! And, as a car nut, I've owned many cars over the years, I've never owned anything longer than this one. So, from a previous Chevy owner, I hope Kia keeps up the great work on this model, and know that, when I see something I know is good, I KEEP it...I will never let go of my Soul!

    Bought a 2021 Soul EV Limited. Best car I have ever owned. Now I understand what instant torque means. It's very quick. The soul is so easy to drive around the city and great on highways too. I don't care about the wind noise. It's a box on wheels. For that same reason, you get a very roomy space. My next car will definitely another EV. At the time I got mine, there were CAD 16000 Federal, Provincial and Private org. available incentives. It was the best deal. Plus, CAD 500 off towards a purchase of home charger and BCHydro is offering up to CAD 350 incentive for 240V installation. I think it's a good time to get into EV.

    Watched 3 Soul reviews, LX, EX+, & EX Premium. I notice that they don't seem to have cargo cover. The walls look flat without any spot to dock an aftermarket cargo cover. That's a bit odd.

    • @BrantfordKia
      @BrantfordKia  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah, only the upper level Souls have the cargo cover. It doesn't really bother me in the Soul because it's got the deep tint on the windows, so I feel like my cargo is fairly well hidden, but I know some people really like having it. I often use the under-floor area to keep something out of sight if necessary.

    Canada gets the EV and the EX premium. The US gets a base manual and a top line turbo. I wish it were the other way around.

    Question. What is the A with the circle around it? Located on the left of the steering wheel.

    • @BrantfordKia
      @BrantfordKia  3 роки тому +2

      Great question. The vehicle is capable of turning itself off when at a stoplight (as an example). It does this to save fuel and emissions. The car will INSTANTLY start as soon as you release the brake pedal, but if you don't want this feature to activate, meaning if you just want the vehicle to stay running at all times, you can tap that button to turn the feature off.

    • @BrantfordKia
      @BrantfordKia  4 роки тому +1

      I find the Soul is very good in the snow. My EV Soul is best with winter tires, as the Eco-friendly tires are not as good "all-seasons" as the gasoline Soul's tires. Having said that, I usually recommend winter tires to everyone anyway. These cars can do a lot with their safety systems if you give the tires just a little bit of traction.

    • @SquachoFace
      @SquachoFace 3 роки тому

      It's best you buy winter tires ( and possibly wheels too ), especially if your model has low profile tires. I keep up with the AWD all-season tire crowd with aggressive GT Radical Icepro's. Honestly I can't wait to take them off in the Spring, but I just had a safe Winter.
