Love my Kia Soul 2012

This is my favorite car ever. I drive a LOT. It has 65,000 miles on it and has never needed anything other than maintenance and tires. Gas mileage is good. Just love it.

I love, love, love my Kia Soul

As always I'm very pleased with Metro Kia and the service department. I love my Kia Soul and plan on trading it in in a few years for another one, I also got my husband to purchase a Kia Optima a few months ago.

Kia Soul is a great small & big vehicle!

I bought my 2012 Kia Soul + new and I now have 60,000 miles on it. It gets great gas mileage (29-38 mpg) and it is fun to drive. It has so much cargo space and can easily fit 5 full size adults. I am a music teacher so I am always filling it with music stands, equipment, etc... It has so much space for a smaller suv. No mechnical problems at all. I'd buy another one but I think I am going to continue to drive this one way over 100,000 miles. I am a happy hamster owner! Tim H.

Love my Soul!

I'm partially disabled, and needed a vehicle that was easy to get into/out of and had room for me to store my wheelchair. I didn't want a full size SUV, so the Soul is perfect. With one seat down in the back I can fit my wheelchair/scooter for easy access, and it's small enough that I can park it anywhere and it's a joy to drive. I've also had several other people drive it and they've all enjoyed it as well. When the time comes for a replacement, I'm definitely looking at the EV (electric) Soul.

Kia Soul overall review,

Good not exceptional gas mileage, lots of room, comfortable and goes down the road straight. I love the sound system and have zero complaints on this car. 60000 miles before my first brake job and only front required, other then that the battery also just stopped holding a charge not bad for 4 Wisconsin winters again at 60000 miles. I currently received a notice for a recall for a possible under-body corrosion issue, and Kia is adding additional protection under this campaign. I would buy this car avian and recommend it to my friends and family. Jeffrey W-R

Love my Soul

My Soul is amazing! At first I was not so sure that it would give me the "get up and go" that I enjoy, but my Brave Little Toaster has got some pep!!! I love it!!! I was very surprised by the amount of cabin space they have. I haul some tall folks (6'4:" and above). My tall ones fit as comfortably in the back seat as they do in the front.

Kia Soul small car with a MONSTER heart

What a fantastic small car! I’m 6’2” and it fits me great! Very safe vehicle. Will buy another one this year! The reliability is superb! The dependability is excellent! It is truly a monster of a car in a small package.

Roomy

My spouse, David, and I tested many cars before purchasing the Kia Soul. We were both big guys and the Soul provided ample room in both front and rear seating areas. The price was right and we loved the Alien Green color. When split rear seat is folded down there is plenty of room for luggage.

Kia Soul

As a retired couple, it meets our needs well & is reliable. We have it serviced regularly and the only major problem is that the A/C system has developed a leak that is too costly to repair...we refill with refrigerant in June or July to provide cooling during the summer heat.

Love it!

LOVE IT! Excellent turning, decent gas mileage, sufficient carrying capacity for my needs and fits me at 4 feet, 10 inches. My 2012 Kia has had no problems in the time I have had her thanks to the good and regular care by Nauset auto. Time for a new one, perhaps gently used.

I love my Kia

It’s perfect for a family of 5 or less. Perfect on gas and I love my mood lights. It’s a 2012 and I still love my Kia. Drives smoothly and it’s FWD. This is a highway vehicle and will drive smooth and fast without you even realizing it.
