Scared for my life

I love the vehicle but it has my anxiety level up due to the horn has gone out! I purchased it in August of 2023 and by January the horn has completely stopped working, making the commute to and from work very scary! I can’t warn other drivers of my presence on the roadway, I’m afraid to drive it now because I almost got ran over, and the dealers don’t keep something so important in stock!

2023 Kia Soul review: Our expert's take

By Jane Ulitskaya

As record-high new-car prices continue to challenge budget-conscious shoppers, the Kia Soul remains one of the most affordable cars you can buy. Shoppers looking for an affordable car won’t have to stretch their budgets too much to get the latest model: The starting price for the base 2023 Soul LX is up just $500 compared to 2022. Despite updated styling and more safety features, however, the 2023 Soul still lacks all-wheel drive and drops the turbocharged engine offered in previous model years.
