Re: Kia Soul - any opinions?

@sunshine45  If that's the Toyota Scion you are talking about, I'd avoid that one. It's discontinued ....never a good thing in terms of value or parts.

Re: Kia Soul - any opinions?

My experience is very limited with the Kia Soul but I had one as a rental car a few years ago.  I loved driving it and I couldn't believe how roomy it was for the size of car.  As others have mentioned, I would check various automative sites for their rating on it before I would even consider it though.

My wife's cousin has owned one for 2+ years and it has been 1 headache after another. Were it me? I would look closely into the "Lemon Law"

Re: Kia Soul - any opinions?

I have 2016 Kia Sorento and love it. Rated very highly. We are considering getting a Soul to replace out 20 year old pickup. Kia's are very highly rated, and very safe cars plus they have a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty.

My daughter had a white one-very cute and she really liked it, but they started a family and it was going to be far too small, so she traded it in for an SUV. She did really like it though!

I do not own this car, but I once drove one. Easy in/out. Not too high or too low. Easy to park. Small footprint with ample room.

One of the lowest Cost To Own cars.

They DO have cute commercials!

I know that has nothing to do with nothing, but it just makes me smile. 😀
