I just purchased a 2019 red Kia Soul. 39,000 miles. I just love the room inside. I like all the bells and whistles My son is 7 and he loves it. I had a 2011 Nissan Maxima. And I can say I like the Kia better. Wish me luck yall.

My 2013 soul + 150,000 miles 2.0 engine Just regular maintenance done on car The only brake down with the car was a flat tire love it

I have a 2015 Kia Soul 2.0 liter. I bought the car new, it now has 95,000 miles. 7 years of trouble free reliability. Thank you for the video.

This is the info the public needs! I just love this kind of video, it gives us a feeling about brand reliability, info that people needs, thanks man!

I bought a used 2011 Kia Soul in 2014 that had 34,000 on it. I still own it today (gave it to my mother in law 1 year ago) it now has 112,000 miles on it. I have only replaced the brakes, rotors ( 1 time ) the battery twice, drivers side headlight lamp probably about 4 times and tires. Absolutely amazing for a 4 banger. Bought my wife a 2019. The white with the red roof.

Very professional review, thank you for this! Much appreciated.

I don't recall hearing Justin say he owns one, but his description and knowledge of the vehicle is outstanding. Great summary of the vehicle!

Good video! Appreciate these "What to look for" videos and the efforts put in

My sister bought a 2013 which she is still driving with no problems . We started with a Kia Optima 2001. Drove it until 2016 . Didn't see an Optima we liked , but for less money , we did buy a new Kia Soul after liking my sister's . I am retiring and we were offered a good trade in on a new 2023 if we were willing to wait . So we ordered what we wanted and waited two months . It was worth the wait . My wife got the color she wanted and , well happy wife happy life .LOL ! Seriously, I love the new looks inside and out . The dash doesn't look like someone stuck an I pad into the dash . We did contemplate other brands , but I was unwilling to pay 5-10,000 more for less car , less warranty and less trade in . We are extremely happy with the surf blue with the black top in the GT package . Twenty two years a happy Kia owner . Oh and the 2001 Optima ? My Granddaughter is still driving it with just over 300,000 miles on it !

We just got a 2014 Soul about a month ago from Carmax and we love it!

Im going to test drive a 2016 soul tomorrow. It will be my first car and Im already in love can’t wait till I finally drive it lol

I just bought a 2016 soul with the premium package. I love this car. It drives like a dream.

I bought mine new in 2016. 72k miles I got the plain Jane model.. No problems yet. I love it.

so Canadian. And that is high praise! No nonsense, to the point. Thank you!

I purchased my '16 Kia Soul + in late 2015. It's been an awesome car. I did complain at the last check-up about a spotty acceleration. They couldn't find anything, I'll readress this next visit. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. I’m going to test drive a 2019 this week. I’ve never had a Kia so this video was very helpful.

Thanks! I've been into buying used Kia soul. Your video helped.

We just bought a CPO 2017 + model back in august for my sister. It only had 33k miles on it and so far it’s been pretty solid

I'm getting my 2015 kia soul tomorrow! 😁😁🤘 thanks for the info justin! Helped me so much in what I should look for

Just bought a 2019 + for my wife. She had to have one and in Alien Green. She loves the car. I like the warranty.

Excellent review. I found this very helpful as I ponder my purchase. Thanks

Got my 2014 kia soul, it was 1yr old, the Kia dealer has taken very good care on all the warranty issue's. This car is better than the Infinitely I had before. I love it it's Alien green, I still get questions about the color.

Love this review. Thank you!

I bought a year old Kia Soul in 2016 and its the best car I've ever had.

I bought a red 2018 Soul plus...with 39000...at the end of 2019...thanks to Covid..only another 5000 on it.. I really love the car...it’s cute... fun to drive and tons of room.

I’m test driving a 2018 Kia so I’m glad that I found this video Thank you

I buy cars with clean titles at auction, fix them up and resell. I recently bought 4 of these and 2 of them have rod knock. Turns out Kia just issued a recall in January of 2021 about rod knock. They also extended the engine warranty for rod knock to 15/150k for both original and secondary owners (unlike the original 10/100k warranty which drops to 5/60k for second owners).

Very intersting points brought up. Good advice even if looking at other vehicles as well, such as the sun roof potential for leaks and excessive oil consumption.

I had a 2014 Soul, until a week ago when some jerk rear ended me. I'm now looking at a newer soul. I loved it, smooth ride, comfortable to travel in. We had a lot of fun in that car. It will be missed.

Soul Rocks! Had a 2012 ... 2.0 had it until 2020. Great car! Just got a 2020 EX ... If you are older and just need that extra room, it's easy to get out of, holds stuff just right. Just me most of the time sometimes two. Fold down the back seats add big floor mat cut to size for back. Everyone that I have asked love theirs.

I had a 2013 Soul Plus. With exceptions road noise and a rough ride on course road surfaces, I highly recommend this car. I only just traded it in last fall. So, for about 7 years it was my daily driver. Easy to drive and park and super practical. I don't know about the newest model years, but mine had a trap food sort of storage compartment below the rear deck. One downer. No spare tire. Only that stupid kit. If you get a flat, you better be having good cell reception!

I'm glad I came across this VIDEO! Im thinking on buying a 2015 or 2016 Kia Soul just making sure I get MORE knowledge and information before buying. Thank u Justin, very informative video😁

I owned a 2012 since 2015, 27000 miles when bought. Never a single problem. I loved it so much I gave the 2012, who's been driving my 2000 Ford Ranger, and can hardly get in and out, to my wife and I purchased a 2018 Soul Plus with the Primo Lit package, and man do I love it. This video was good for me, as I have all the bells and whistles, including the sun roof. Keeping the drains clean is paramount. Right after I bought it, I put it into the shop and had it completely gone through, cleaned and greased the sunroof rails, added a spoiler, mud flaps, rain guards and a bug shield. This car is AWESOME !! By far the fanciest Soul out there. The deal I got was amazing. 27,800, new, 14,700 2 years old with 27k on it. Almost 50% off, thanks to COVID. What a deal. :)

I love my 2018 Kia Soul !.

The last two years of ubering, I rented a series of 2017-2018 Kia soul's and upper models through Hertz. Alot of them were at low mileage each time of rental. I didn't notice anything alarming, but there's something very odd of a texture wit the windshields, front and back. Using the windshield wipers front and back even with brand new wipers, the rain or window spray just smears and doesn't really catch along the surface? I guess you can say it may be serious in harsh storm conditions? Can't deny aside that issue, these toasters with wheels are pretty neat! 😂 🚙

I am going to buy a 2013 model hopefully a 1.6 liter thanks for these great tips of how to buy a used soul

Just bought my 2016 Kia soul plus. I love it.38.000 miles.

2012 Kia soul 6 speed standard has 189,000 miles and still gets gets 29 to 30 mpg. I have a new 2019 Toyota chr and I still prefer my Kia. It is just fun to drive.

Great information and presentation. Shame the sunroof is problematic in some. We have thoroughly enjoyed our (non sunroof), manual, Soul. $65,000 and zero issues.

Thanks for the great information! I'm planning on buying a 2019 Kia Soul!

I got a 2019 soul Redzone and love it .

Thank you!,very informative and easy to follow and understand.....

I’m watching this after purchasing my Kia Soul 2016 with 37,000 kms. Will go pick it up in about 3 days.

I have a 2018 30kwh Kia Soul EV. Best car I have ever had and I've had lots cos I'm old! Its cheap to run too.

My sis got kia soul petrol when it was first released in the market in 2008. She still has it and her son now drives long distance regularly. It's nearly 200,000 mileage but still going strong. She never had any major breakdown, just regular maintenance. I want to have kia soul ev.

Very professional advice ... well done!

2015 sx gdi best car I ve ever owned. Btw nice seeing a guy from Sudbury doing good on KZfaq Northern Ontario Pride buddy

I had a 2015 until one person caused a 3 car collision, my KIA is totaled now. Had no problems with my car

I have a 2021 and I love it❤

Thanks for the informations, more power to you and your channel.

This is a great and simple resource, great work!

Bought the 2014 Soul + brand new in 14.. 29,000 now on it. No problems. Do wish I'd gotten the ! Model with leather as the current seats are a bit rough on long trips for this 68 year old. Around town it's Awesome. Lots of pickup for passing.

2013 Kia Soul !.... Had rear rotor gouging issue, had brakes and rotors replaced. A few thousand miles later the right rear wheel froze up....the drum parking brakes failed to release. Had tie rod ends replaced, they were VERY loose. Overall the car was very good except for these items. Traded in on a Kia Seltos.

I'm in the market for a new vehicle and the Soul has caught my eye. Particularly the 2021... I'm getting older and having a vehicle that makes me sit upright is pivotal in getting in and out with ease. Head room, leg room, l like the grill, along with the light clusters, including the fog lamps... Btw, great video and uber informational too. I thought about getting a sunroof until you mentioned your concerns...now I'm reconsidering. Thx 👍

just got one that was a former rental. TONS of legroom and really comfy.

My car was bought brand new 0 miles right off the show room &come to find out it was and recall

I just purchased a 2022 lcx model with tech package a month ago! I’m lovin it! I love the pick up. Never tried sport mode but will this weekend! Can’t wait!

I bought a 2017 last year with all the bells and whistles.It was the ex.It had 14.100 miles on it.all by one owner.After 1 year of driving it I have 18856 miles on it.I got the car plus the top of the line extended warranty with tax and all for $15,500. I just had the one year inspection and a new sticker.I have had the oil and filter changed once.The only thing I have replaced is the two batteries in the key fobs.It has push button start and navigation,etc.No issues at all and it goes well in the snow.I love it.The only thing I really miss is heated side mirrors.It was by far the best small car I drove and has tons of room inside.It a great small car and a 9 hours drive,you will get out and not be a bit tired.It rides great and has plenty of power in the 2.0 automatic.I like the regular and sport mode which both get better gas mileage in the city then the economy mode.Cruise control is spot on.It is easy to get in and out of.You will see a lot of 50 and over crowd in them because it it the perfect height for drive throughs.atms and banking.Love the headlights and fog lights.Visibility all around is above average.It is not a sports car by any means.But it is fun to drive.Mine looks just like this in one and RED too.

I bought a full option 2011 kia soul before 11 years and it still with me until now with 190.00km and iam thinking about upgrading to 2019 kia soul also☺️

I'm getting a 2015 kia soul here soon, and I'm so excited. But literally everyone I talk to say they hate it 😬🤷‍♀️

I purchased my Kia Soul 4u in November of 2009 and it is still going strong. Have been looking at the 2020 or 2021 models in EX+ trimline. I love the Soul

I had a 2015. I loved that car. I had the opportunity to trade for a 2020, last May. I love that car even more. The inside of my car is bigger than my parents 2020 GMC TERRAIN.

I have had several issues with my 2015 Kia Soul Exclaim. It has all the bells and whistles. The center dash speaker housing kept popping up, but they fixed it. The windshield whistled annoyingly when driving on the highway, but only at 75 degrees or higher. Took a while for them to find the issue, but they did and they fixed it permanently. Then, at about 36,000 the engine blew a rod. There is an issue with burrs that only affect a very small percentage of 2014-2015 units. Kia gave me a loaner for the 3 months it took them to get a new engine in. The Credenza, their top of the line car! Since then, I have had no issues. Best thing about owning a Kia is the way they take care of their customers.

Bought my 2019 Soul + a year ago and it's been great! Love the gas mileage and how roomy it is😊

Excellent and very professional video on the Kia Soul.

thank you for providing this information. appreciate it.

I purchased a 2018 White Kia Soul in February of 2020, and i am absolutely in love with it. Although i wasn't looking for all the bells and whistles that my kia offers, i really love it. I bought a new set of tires, got myself some great Tuxmats for my Soul and its great. So far i'm impressed with the handling in the snow, the roominess in the car, and just the overall look and feel. I would definately recommend it!

Great video, thank you for that info

Really good video. Great information, clearly presented. Thanks for sharing.

I'm still driving a 2010 soul and it's been great!

Greatb review and production, you earned a new sub.

Thanks, Justin. Great review.

Thank you for this I’m going to get one of these soon

Have a 2014 Soul..it was used as a Taxi for the first 120k miles...has 150k now...only needed basic maintenance...great car.

We have had 2. Love ours. Would buy another.

Great review!!!

This was super helpful! I'm off to look at a Kia Soul later today (in Ontario) and feel wayy more prepared.

great video and information,.. love canada content

Thanks on information planning on purchasing a use kia soul.

i have 230,000 miles on my 2016 kia soul. main issue is the gdi engine carbon build up on intake valves due to this design. Check engine light at 120000k and will never go away for good after that

I once had the 2017 Soul+ in alien green and I really liked it. Long story short, I sold it to get myself out of a lien and avoid repossession, which was a smart move. Tbh, the Soul is the ONLY Kia I would personally own. If I can get a good deal on one outright I'll be happy.

Thanks for the help!

got a 2010 has 320000km and still going strong.

We have two Souls and love them. Both are basic models with the manual transmission. One 2018 with 32K and a 2016 with 72K, no problems with either one. Very happy Soul owners. Only gripe is not having a spare.

I just purchased a 2013 KIA Soul base model manual transmission 6 speed drove over our highway which has come sharp curves and up's and down's it preformed quite well Puchased Friday Aug 5th. 126 Thousand miles on it. The test drive went well it accelerated, brakes were responsive. With the base model it doesn't have cruse control but I've driven older cars and trucks back in the day that didn't have them at all. Wasn't really a issue. Yes, the seats are a little hard too. Just have to get a woopy cushion lol Ok thanks for the information.

Around the high 70k miles our 2015 1.6L Soul started to use oil. Not smoking or dripping. It would just be low. It took several oil changes for Kia to track it. The customer service is probably a per dealership issue. Ours was not overly helpful but finally we got another engine under warranty. We are otherwise happy and still have it. However for our next car we went with another company largely based on service.

Excellent overview. You know your stuff!! Thanks for teaching me about my Kia Soul+2015: I loved the solar yellow color so much that I gave up some very cool computerized features.That hurt! My Kia is 5 years old. It will be paid off this month. No problems with anything yet, but recalled 3x. On a positive note, Kia extended warranties on my engine and parts to compensate for owners time. Last comment: I am not happy that Kia omits a spare tire for the make/model I selected. I can’t even buy one.😩 I’m prepared for all potential car emergencies but this 1 😧. This car is still cool. I would recommend it.

Bought a 2018 Kia Soul Turbo with 26 miles on it in July of 2018. Love it. I did not get the tech package per no need for a moon roof and all the other stuff. Drives like a dream and I get 34 miles per gallon.

2014 133K check engine light just came on. Going into shop but zero issues

I have a 2011 Kia soul and it's perfect.. unfortunately I have to get rid of it by January 1st as Uber doesn't let us use a car older than 10 years.. I know I can get four or five more years out of it if I didn't have to sell it... I've kept it in spectacular shape hopefully the resale value will be nice so I can put it towards another Kia soul..

Look for an Oil Catch Can having been added to help reduce the GDI carbon build-up on the intake valves. True of all GDI engines, not just kia.

Great video thanks for sharing. What size oil filter wrench does a 2020 Kia Forte LXS use? Also, Can you tell me how many quarts of oil I should put in it? When changing the oil.

Thank you for the video. Looks like KIA really turned their image around and is the new reliable economy car similar to what Honda and Toyota was once known for. Definitely will be replacing my old Honda Fit for a Kia Soul+

2013 the best car I have ever owned

I just bought a 2018 Soul. Has 36000 miles. Bought with a 6 speed manual transmission. 1.6 engine

Thanks I was just looking at One with a Sunroof.Not nomore😊

Hello, I own a 2018 soul Plus with the tech package, i have done initial reviews, and yearly reviews. at 61K my well maintained, always oil changed every 3000 miles w synthetic. 2.0L GDI (direct injection) blew up. spun a rod bearing. a known issue on the 2.0 GDI! , Gas cap also causes P0441 issues so change it. I love the car. the engine was swapped under warranty. it now has 72K and all is fine.. also at 04:00 you state about water issues on sunroof, also this applies to the AC drain rubber hose clogging under the car, simply take a air hose from a compressor and blow up into it, if its clogged you will get a waterfall out of the tube. otherwise its fine.

I have a 2013 Kia Soul base 1.8. Great car I've hauled washing machines to elliptical workout equipment. Just have an big wool blanket and you will be good to go.

We own a 16 Base, and added a backup camera. Change the oil every 3750 miles, adding a bottle of Techron, and rotate the tires every 7,500 miles, and at 30k, replaced all filters, replaced coolant and changed automatic transmission fluid. Is now at 57k miles, still had original brakes and replaced the Kumho tires at 45k miles. It has given our family exactly 0 issues. With the same regular maintenance we are giving it, I expect it to last over 300 k miles. Will have the dealer perform the 60,000 mile decarboniza service for the Direct injection system. Definitely sad it has lost so much value (compared to the Lexus and Toyota products we own) but it has been reliable and safe transportation for our family

I have a 2019, I drove from Orlando FL to Los Angeles CA with 0 issues. I spent less than 200.00 on gas too. I'm in CA now and I'm still putting 4 hour drive every other day.
