The Kia Soul is one of the only cars my 6'7 brother can fit comfortably, and that's affordable. It's a good-looking car from the interior/ exterior.

@MPR_2023 Жыл бұрын

I’m 6”6’ and bought this car for a commuter. Most comfortable car I’ve sat in. Even more comfortable that most mid size suvs

100% agree, I’m 6’6 and I’m very comfortable.

I've had my GT Line for a little over a month. Love it so far. Drives very nice, quiet and smooth. Still a lil befuddled by all the technology . . . lots to learn for a non-techy septuagenarian. Got it for $2.5k below MSRP during 'Presidents Day' Sale in Feb

It's hard to explain but something about the Kia Soul is very appealing.

Love these KIA Soul reviews. We're just average Joes after all in the end and we want practical cars that standout. So thank you!

This is ideal as a city runabout. It's short, so it's easier to parallel park and maneuver. Good mileage. Probably getting a new one to replace our 2012.

I put 77,000 miles on a 2022 Kia soul with zero problems, zero oil burn. Extremely reliable, comfortable and efficient for $23,000. I just sold my 2022 and bought a 2024. Great car for the money

@waynelion-cachet35 Жыл бұрын

Definitely would be awesome with the turbo. It would make it stand apart from any "competition".

@ScottTschirhart 5 күн бұрын

I bought a 2020 Soul GTline with the 2.0 and IVT. Acceleration is acceptable even though I would actually want to turbo but it was out of my budget. The gas mileage is good. At 60 miles an hour I average about 30 to 40 miles per gallon. Plus it fits in my garage.

for a gt line version it should be with a 1.6 turbo engine fog light

I have a 2021 soul S with the 2.0 and IVT, and I love it. It packs an amazing amount of features into one of the cheapest brand new cars I could buy. Mine also regularly gets 35 or so MPG, and I don't drive like a grandma lol. It only gets below 30 if I'm running around town doing errands in tons of traffic.

Not gonna lie, If the new models had the panoramic sunroof/moonroof it would've made the car so much better

I use to want a Mini Cooper real badly until I started to do more research into it. The cost and the maintenance and premium gas of used Coopers, stirred me back to Mazda. But after I rented a Kia Soul (That was what was available.) I bought by a 2020 Kia Soul S. I love my Kia Soul. It's a great daily driver for a traffic-laden city like Atlanta.

on USA models - all trims have push button starts except the entry LX trim. (MSRP) Price ranges from just below $20k . . . up to $28+ for the top trim with all the bells and whistles. Far better priced than other vehicles in its class.

May I ask why you never directly say a car is slow? It's always dodgy answer like 7:48

@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup Жыл бұрын

I think part of it is not wanting to get blacklisted for bashing a car or brand. It's the same reason he shies away from bluntly negative feedback of vehicles. Don't get me wrong his overhead required to work (be friendly with and market vehicles for companies with basically zero money out of pocket) is a cake gig which he would be a fool to mess up...

@tthom2459 Жыл бұрын

Speed is not always an issue for potential buyers. I don't think anyone would think of buying a Soul for racing. The only time 'speed' is an issue for me is accelerating to get on the freeway . . or to pass slow vehicles on the highway . . . and my Soul does just fine.

Short answer is no...the GT line still has the 142 hp engine which is weak....2022 was last year for the turbo which had 201hp... Look for a used 2022...dont buy the weak 2023.
