These cars are easy to steal.

These cars are easy to steal. My car was stolen and trashed. I did everything by the book. I am not a happy camper. Sad

Be happy with your Kia

I got my 2019 Brilliant silver base unit with 22k miles on it. I paid the $22K. I MAY have messed up and gotten the new one at the local dealer. Possibly. I did get the $240 Kia side-to-side roof rails from N.Y. and have added the $ 80 Walmart front-to-back roof rails to the Kia rails. All key locks are locked on. Don't use the roof rack much and flatten down the back seat and fit 8 ft. long wooden 2X4 and 4X6s to the passenger foot space. For $85 I got the tailgate tint removed and the window is tinted less. Now I can see better through that back window. I like it.

KIA 2019. A car you'll fall in love with.

I LOVE my 2019 KIA soul+. Best car I have ever had at least. Way roomier than it looks from the outside. Lots of leg space for passengers in the back. Great space for loading items if needed. Great driving performance. KIA just fixed the ignition key issue the 2019 had for free. No more joy rides for some jerks out there for our cars.

Yes I've got Soul too

I bought a 2019 in mysterious pearl blue with 33k from Avis so I knew it was well mantained. Before I did I asked everyone I saw about their Soul and how they liked it. Everyone said they loved it, not one negative. I now have 53k and I love mine.

Don’t buy Kia

Worst car I’ve ever owned at 90,000 miles is recorder all every 1400 miles Kia says that’s normal at 129,000 miles i’ve had replaced the blower motor, the starter, the whole ignition from the sounds of it sounds like front wheel burns are going out five hours just replace the blower motor for the heat and air I don’t know what’s gonna be next they say that oil problem is in most of the Kia engines I had a Honda Civic 350,000 miles never used oil I had a problem with Kia, not backing up the warranty

Do not buy a Kia Soul

Kia sent me the club for the faulty immobilizer and real messed up. Fix the xxxx thing!!!!!! It is know for the Kia to be stolen. Why have the manufacturer developed something so these cars can't be stolen?

I will be ready for a new car next year.

I have a 2019 soul just turned 15.000K miles. Bought it used with 11K miles. I like it, it has plenty of room inside. I am 6`3 . One problem the mechanics can't find is the vibration. It can be felt in the seat and the steering wheel. This problem will keep me from buying another KIA. Also a noisy AC Fan. My 2010 SPORTAGE was trouble free for the 4 years i had it. SKY

Only one complaint

I'm very happy with my Kia Soul. My only complaint is that the drivers side window lock does not control the front passenger window -- only the rear windows.
