Great City car

It handle great and the city and on the highway. I can find parking within the city, better with this vehicle versus my SUV. It looks small on the outside, however, I have plenty of room in the interior.

Love it’s versatility

I LOVE my Kia Soul 2011. I would buy another one and I hope they still make them when I can afford to get a newer model. I love the roominess, front end visibility, tight maneuverability, mileage Is fair. It has a rear side blind spot that is annoying. And wind buffering when rear windows are down is definitely annoying. But all in all I would love to buy a 2018, another manual transmission. I think the newer ones have better styling. Would love to Be able to drop the rear window. Shar

Like my Soul

It has been a great car. I hope it just keeps going. My only complaint would be that it is noisy on the road. I have had two friends purchase Souls after riding in mine. They both love them!

Pretty Good Little Car

I really like my2011 standard transmission Kia Soul. It has been very reliable and utilitarian. It's not the quietest of cars and the buffering when the front or rear windows are down is intolerable. But that can be worked around. It handles well for a boxy car. I love the roominess of it and it's great for pets and transporting all sorts of large purchases, lots of cargo space.

Love it.

Love my car. I will love to get a newer one. If you keep up the maintenance it will last just recently passed 100,000 miles and i got it 3 years ago when it was at 70,000. You should definitely consider.

Great car

We love our soul, it’s a fun car to drive around town. Our second year with the Soul, we took it to upstate NY and it handled the mountain roads just fine. Only wish it had all wheel drive, a more powerful engine and better shocks.

Luv my Soul!

It wasn't what I wanted initially but I luv it now! It can take on fender benders with minimal damages, doesn't like to go under 60mph, can be parked just about anywhere, and many more reasons why I love it! 3 downfalls to this car it doesn't do well on windy days. Not comfortable at all to sleep or camp in. Tiny storage space in back.

Very pleased

This is one of the best car purchases of my lifetime. In all these years, my only repair has been to replace a sprain in the trunk opening. It is a great car, especially for college students and singles. Inexpensive, reliable, and easy to pack. My biggest complaint with the car and all these years has been the poor lighting in the back hatch back area. That drives me nuts. I’m always afraid I left some food spoil in the back. I would definitely buy again.

2011 Kia Soul

We bought the Kia Soul because of the cute advertising, and the overall looks. The fuel economy is good - 28 - 34 mpg highway. There are two drawbacks however: (1) The seats are uncomfortable. There are metal slates (2) that run the length of the front seats; after about 45 minutes you can feel the metal slates rubbing against your buttocks. For a long drive, the seats ARE UNCOMFORTABLE!. Secondly, the basic body style makes backing up difficult because a lot of rearward view is blocked by the two rear sections of the frame (both sides of the rear panel). I sometimes have to switch from looking in the rear view mirror to checking the outside side mirror to make certain of my rearward driving. A third comment, only an observation; is that I've had to replace one tire (left rear) and repair the right rear tire twice. Have 57,100 miles on vehicle. Maintenance and performance are very good overall, though.
