Soul has been a very successful model. It's rare to find such an upright seating position in a cheap car. Usually a cheap car means squeezing into an uncomfortably small seat.
I just purchased a 2023 fully loaded Kia Soul EX + ivy with a 2.0 engine and all the bells and whistles...it rides nicely, it drives really nice...a great underrated car...highly recommend...I just turned 65...and this will last a few years...Wonderful
I’ve had 2 Kia Souls. Not a single issue, just regular normal maintenance. The one I currently own has over 100,000 miles and still runs nicely. Might buy a third, but enjoying not having a car payment at the moment.
I had a 2013 Soul + that I bought new in 2013. Had the car for 7 years and 90k miles later. Never had an issue and I miss the car. Got a lot of looks and compliments back then. Considering another one in the future! My best friend bought a 2021 a few months ago, and it makes me miss mine whenever she drives me around.
I have 3 friends that have a Kia Soul. One has a 2024, this is her 4th Soul, I have another who drives a lot for his job. Not sure of the year, but I love it is so white with a red top. Very sharp looking vehicle, nicely loaded. He has over 200,000 miles on it. He is 6’3”, loves it. He is going to drive it as long as he can, but he said he would buy another. I thought about it when I was looking for a vehicle. I bought a Subaru Forester. Loaded up with lots of gadgets. The other friend lives in Chicago, he mainly uses it to drive on vacation, so it doesn’t have many miles. I think he said it’s a 2020 with 19,000 miles. When he’s home he takes the “L” everywhere. Seem to be good vehicles,
The Soul is perfect to drive around in city, park in tight parking spaces, ample 2nd row legroom and a decent amout of cargo space. I guess 2025 is the last year for Soul. 😢
We have a 2012 Soul we purchased new. 2.0 engine with the real six speed automatic. Not quite a 100,000 miles on it. It has been very reliable with few expenses to us other than normal maintenance. I don’t know if I would buy another one but that is true for many if not most current build cars.
Small car offering from Kia which has been refined over the years to become decent comfortable transport. Uncertain I would enjoy a cross country ride in this. I am 6’2” and 260. Agree with Ben turbo and all wheel drive would be nice..
I just rented a 2025 Soul for a week. It tracks just fine on the highway and is quiet at 65. It would not have a ton of passing power, but a coast to coast drive would be very easy.
I bought my 2018 Turbo Soul new and to this day it only has 22,800 miles on it. She pays off in less than a year and I plan on some mods for her. Recently installed 16 inch blacked out rims and aggressive all terrain tires.
the Soul is a subcompact based on length width and weight just like the first 5 gens of the Toyota Corolla were the Soul is actually 3 in longer than an E70 4th gen Corolla which was roughly 4 ft. shorter than a 4th gen Oldsmobile Cutlass which is considered Sr. Compact by the US auto makers at around 17.25 ft. my dad got his driver's license in a 74 Cutlass S and my mum got hers in a 78 Delta 88 which was 18 1/5 Ft long and 3,742 LBs
The Soul is great, I have a 2016 and it's still the comfiest car I've ever been in that isn't a big ol truck. Even many smaller SUVs are less comfortable. Lots of legroom. Also Kia has incredible design sense for a budget automaker. Ford / Chevy has no chance against them unless they start innovating.
I owned two. My 2020 GT Line was great, except for the oil consumption issue due to the faulty heat treat of the engine rings. If available in AWD I would have considered buying a third one
I suppose so but I don't care if people notice me, I only drive it because it handles well and is super comfy. I dislike when people go "oh man that boxy car huh" bro I drive the car because it's cheap, relatively reliable, has a great interior, decent MPG, etc. and I'd probably rather be driving a Toyota
In a couple of other tutorials for the Kia Soul for 2025, they said there WAS going to be a turbo engine available! What's the story?! The 147 horse power doesn't get it!
Then you know nothing about how cars work. They only stole key entry cars. This car is electronic push to start lil bro. They don’t steal these. Too much of a headache.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but usually I hate Kia souls, but this one is beautiful
Just bought a 2025 Kia soul and I am impressed
I like the Red Color KIA Soul ❤
My Sister uses the first model KIA Soul and the car has been performing so well.
I have a 2016. Love it. Drives like dream.
I drive a 2024 Soul same color and I can’t complain

I'm buying a 2025 Soul tomorrow. That'll be the last year for Soul???
@@marge201 who is saying that?
@@rachelm8192 It's right above my comment: "I guess 2025 is the last year for Soul." That was from @IndraneelUpponi.
@@marge201It’s only the end for the electric version the gas version is going to keep evolving.
@@LEL-Lord Why no trunk popper? First car I've owned with a hatchback. Is that why the trunk can't be opened from the remote or inside?
This car is actually great with every new car costing 40-60k for the features you get it’s absolutely worth it for 27k
I drive a manual 2015 Kia Soul, and I enjoy it.

Had a 2015 that was totaled in a accident. Let me tell you this thing is strong 💪. Plus plenty of room in the back seat for extra activities 😅
I took my automatic Kia Soul to the Smokey Mountains, and the car handled the mountains with ease. The car is a winner!
Kia makes decent transmissions, even their cvts do not have issues , those engines are garbage tho

I own a Soul and love the head room as I am tall. Best car I've owned so far.

I have a 2018 Soul Alien II . LOVE IT
Thankyou for letting me hear the exhaust up close

I have a 2013 soul; I love this car. I had to make the hard choice between this and my beloved Cooper
Its so stupid the DLR headlights are only on gt line WITH an add on package. You cant get them with the EX, wtf?
All about 💰

had a 2018 kia soul ! (exclaim trim) was a wonderful vehicle until recently when i had a total loss accident with it.

I have a 08 civic that I love but it’s getting old. So I’m looking for a graduation gift for myself and the soul is definitely on the list.
We got a 2023 kia soul lx and we love it
Kia soul is a cool car I like it
are these still catching on fire?
It's kind of a statement car. I'm different, I drive a car that people notice.
I suppose so but I don't care if people notice me, I only drive it because it handles well and is super comfy. I dislike when people go "oh man that boxy car huh" bro I drive the car because it's cheap, relatively reliable, has a great interior, decent MPG, etc. and I'd probably rather be driving a Toyota
what color is this
I loved my Soul.
this might just be the right car for me if i get my license anytime soon
I want this to be my first official car
Has amyone tried it out on snow?
We are a family of 4 with two toddlers. Is this car big and comfy enough??
Yes, I recommend it for this family size!
Yes
Kia Soul nice car but not a CVT fan. Also, need fog lights and upgraded stereo.
In a couple of other tutorials for the Kia Soul for 2025, they said there WAS going to be a turbo engine available! What's the story?! The 147 horse power doesn't get it!
I'll just keep my 2010 Korean made Kia soul shadow dragon. Only has 127k miles and other than the pothole I just hit while typing this it's ok lol 😂
I’ll spend a grand or two more and get a Camry hybrid or an Accord hybrid. For the wife.
So beautiful car
It will save your soul

I wanted one until the Kia boys started stealing them here so it's not worth it for now..
Then you know nothing about how cars work. They only stole key entry cars. This car is electronic push to start lil bro. They don’t steal these. Too much of a headache.
Hey everyone it's Ben Hardy here ceo of Hardy's
kia being foreign what about parts
No to Turbo
Ben, what did your wife end up getting?
Nothing yet
THEY REUNITED THE KIA SOUL 🤦🏽 it's ugly sheesh
-cool-
uncool ✔️
These burn oil early on do not buy them
@kevindoran4938 my buddy got a 2020 or something new a couple years back and he had those problems
I have always liked this car
