I have a 2022 Kia Soul GT Line non turbo and I love it. Spunky and fun to drive. Sport mode feels like a turbo. I have had Chrysler/Dodge vehicles prior but this Soul is amazing

I like the Soul very much because of its practicality. It's also very easy to get in and out of and the cockpit gives you this sense of confidence that is appreciated from mature adults. I hope for the Soul to be in Kia's lineup for many more years to come. Good job Matt.

Bought one yesterday. (Here in California!) Drives fine, not crazy about the flat part of the steering wheel. Or the light colored part of the seats (I would have preferred all black or grey)...nice screen console, connects completely to your phone. I prefer not using any of the driver assist features except for back up warning. All of this can be customized. These cars are 3 inches longer than the older Kias and 1 inch wider. Very cute, love that blue color.

@@BecauseHelives7 Well . . . in my case - I think a lot of my luck was in the timing. My dealership had just received a lot of Souls for the new year. They implemented a 'President's Day' sale where they took $2,023 off the MSRP. They also had a Valentines Day special where the customer could select an envelope containing a random amount of discount . . . which gave me an additional $500 off. I was also paying cash . . which took away some of their bargaining leverage. You can always make an offer while letting them know you are serious and that you are prepared to hit up the next dealer if they don't 'deal' with you. BTW . . I am still enjoying my Soul. It really feels way more luxurious than the price would indicate. Good Luck!

Fantastic review on all levels. I really appreciate it. I am strongly considering to get one soon, this review helps. It would be a daily commuter and part time Uber, nothing too heavy. Uber would be just a side gig for about fifteen hours a week unless holiday for more cash. I previously had a Nissan Cube which I adored until the cvt transmission Nissan used then pooped out at 107k miles...after warranty expired. I thank you again, you earned a sub for sure. Cheers

My wife has a 2018 Honda Fit which is in the shop due to a recall. Her rental is a Kia Soul and she is loving it. Has a little bit more pickup than the Fit and a little bit more room. She also likes being a little higher up off the ground. I'd say the only complaint is no magic seats which unfortunately are no longer offered at all in any American sold Honda. Watching this video seems like Fit lovers could easily migrate to the Kia soul.

I have a 2015 Soul Base manual transmission and I love it. Looking to replace it while it still has good value. Compared to other vehicles at this price point, the Soul stands out. I have found this to be a trouble-free, roomy vehicle that is fun to drive. I’ll miss the manual transmission but look forward to upgrading to an EX.

@@MattTheCarguy the 2023 model year confuses me because with previous years the GT was always the top of the line with the most features. But it seems that for whatever reason 2023 I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not the GT or the ex is the most premium vehicle. It appears that some have things that the others don't but I don't understand what qualifies the price if even the most expensive vehicle doesn't include all of the features
