I’m 6’4” and finding a car that I can sit in front and back with 2-3” of space headroom is amazing. I loved driving the 23’ Civic, but this one for the features and price is a great deal also.

I always rent cars whenever I go on trips from Vegas to Cali (3 hr drive) and every single time I get my hands on a Soul, it’s been ALWAYS a fun time in it! I was very impressed that this thing just gives me the quick boost of speed whenever I need it even at the 147 mph. It didn’t feel like that at all! Also offers great handling, spacious, and vision too. It’s probably the best car at its price and some of different vehicles at a higher price point don’t offer the same feeling I get with the Soul. I’m really considering this as my next one, it’s just so fun!

I used to drive muscle cars and luxury performance vehicles. My minimum satisfying engine power was about 300 hp. I test-drove the '24 Kia GT-line, and I can't believe how excited I was by this little car, which only has 147 horses - the kind of power that used to be a non-starter for me. I also drove the 2.0 l, 200 hp Soul a couple of years ago, and that car had double the adrenaline rush factor. I will never understand why Kia shot themselves in the foot by stopping its production.

I agree I have a 2018 Kia Soul ! w/1.6 turbo at 201 hp and it's a complete blast to drive I so wish they kept that into today's models. Cause a lot of people see the box car and specs and don't give it a look when honestly it's a all around winner in my opinion. Sure it won't be that hot hatch or that throaty muscle car but it's not meant to be. It's meant to be practical and fun to drive which it is.

Why can't Subaru make their CVT (outside of WRX & Wilderness) responsive like Kia & Hyundai CVT (IVT)? H/K 2.0 is down on power due to running on an Atkinson Cycle (fuel economy), but their IVT has their vehicles outrunning other competitors with similar size engines and transmissions.

Been pondering whether to downsize from my Kia Sportage as I’m getting older, I don’t need all that room anymore or even so much hp anymore. The Kia Soul is such a zippy little car. One question though, with only 147hp does it struggle and is it slow on uphill ascent?

Drove one of these and I would heavily suggest saving up money to get a Civic hatchback instead unless you absolutely need extra height. The Civic has a more spacious trunk area, better feeling cabin and the interior in the Civic has a lot of room for both front and back passengers. But otherwise the Kia Soul is okay as long as you keep it strictly at low 20k.

Kia and Hyundai has come a very long way with their vehicles .Much success to them and to the public. I have a 2018 Kia Soul and it's always unnerving to know that if I go visit my family in Houston that my vehicle can be stolen again. The only thing that helped us to get my vehicle back is that it had LoJack on it and GPS location. Other than that ;police were no help .We had video of the young perpetrators doing the deed and stashing it a low income housing project.

Seats are comfortable but could be better. The biggest pro is the space for your head, feet, and the rest of your body. Can cram a lot more stuff in a soul than you'd expect

Like there are still the speaker lights but I think fewer than before and less noticeable. I really wanted a 2014 soul SX Luxury back when that generation was new. Almost got one back then but my parents decided to give me a hand-me-down explorer which was for the best. Better to get a soul a decade late than never!

I notice Kias and Hyundais always do mild refresh in their design every 3 seconds. Which is good because the design is fresh every now and then. However, i feel like, its not really practical.

I miss the turbo model. I wish that would make a return, but the 1.6T is getting sunsetted in general. Which is a shame, cause it was much more reliable than the 2.0 that's in this thing.
@isam9909
@isam9909 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I don't get that. I thought that with the 1.6T engine being around for a long time with a bunch of its problems fixed, it'd make it more attractive to use. At least it's being used well with the forte gt

@armandconiglio9620 Жыл бұрын
The 1.6T was likely discontinued in the Soul because of its availability in the Seltos, essentially a 4WD Soul. They want to sell more Seltos, and the Soul isn’t their big sales vehicle anymore. Or so I think.

I used to really like & recommend Kia's & Hyundai's. But unless it comes with 2 spare engines in the back I would stay away from Kia's & Hyundai's. When these engines fail under warranty they are not standing behind their customers. But love your videos.
